Abstract

The Eskola Txikiak are a type of school with unique characteristics within the Basque educationsystem, but with the same educational demands as other schools. The leadership of the managementteam is necessary to cope with current and future educational demands, and approaches such as transformationalare positioned as preferred in these processes of educational improvement. The aim of this study is tofind out about the leadership style of the management team at Eskola Txikiak Bizkaia, and to assess whethergender, postgraduate studies or years of experience in the post have any influence. The results show that themanagement team perceives itself as transformational as the predominant style, followed closely and correlateddirectly and strongly by transactional. Likewise, passive leadership is not present, and correlates negativelybut weakly with the other two styles. With respect to gender, training and experience in the position,no differences were found between groups. In the absence of related factors such as these, the findings allowus to reflect on some of the characteristics of rural schools (organization, size, social relations, etc.) thatmay influence the leadership style of the management team.
