Abstract

The research seeks to identify the extent of the impact of aesthetic leadership in its dimensions (aesthetic sensitivity, aesthetic style, aesthetic appearance, aesthetic communication, aesthetic honesty, aesthetic support) in achieving organizational effectiveness.

The research field is represented by private schools in Nineveh Governorate, as the research was applied to a deliberate sample represented by the teaching staff working in private schools in Nineveh Governorate, numbering (213) teachers. The research used the questionnaire as a basic tool in collecting data, as the research sought to test a set of hypotheses to clarify the nature of the relationship of influence between the main research variables and their sub-dimensions in a manner consistent with the research objectives and its hypothetical plan. The research adopted the descriptive analytical approach, and for the purpose of processing the data, ready-made statistical programs (AMOS.V28) were used. The research reached a number of conclusions, the most prominent of which is that aesthetic leadership positively affects organizational effectiveness. This means that teachers who possess aesthetic qualities can significantly enhance the overall performance and effectiveness of the schools studied, as the individuals in the research sample can contribute to creating a more harmonious and stimulating atmosphere, which in turn leads to improved cooperation, innovation and productivity among the members of the research sample.

The research concluded with a number of proposals, the most prominent of which is that educational organizations should actively work to enhance and develop aesthetic leadership among teachers by providing leadership training that emphasizes creativity and harmony and developing stimulating environments.
