TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between school leadership and teachers' organizational commitment is examined by taking into account a distributed leadership perspective, and the relation between the two is analyzed from a teacher's perspective.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of a cooperative leadership team, distributed leadership, participative decision-making, and context variables on teachers' organizational commitment are investigated, and it is shown that the presence of a co-lach team and the amount of leadership support played a significantly positive key role in predicting teachers' commitment.

TL;DR: The authors explored the relation between distributed leadership and teachers' organizational commitment and found that teachers were more strongly committed to the school if the leaders were highly accessible, tackled problems efficiently or empowered teachers to participate, and frequently monitored teachers' daily practices.

TL;DR: The Distributed Leadership Inventory (DLI) as discussed by the authors was developed and evaluated to investigate leadership team characteristics and distribution of leadership functions between formally designed leadership positions in large secondary schools, and the results of the DLI underpin that leading schools involve multiple individuals, which differs by the type of function.
