Resumen:
Leadership is a key factor in the success of an educational center. This is nowadays one of the main topics of educational research, especially in regard to school management. However, it is also necessary to determinate what the role of teachers is. Therefore, the present research aims to know and analyse the teaching perception in relation to the leadership capacity in the development of their activity. To give an answer, an exploratory study has been carried out which, on the one hand, describe and categorize the leadership style, identifying it as a more authoritarian or, on the opposite, a more adaptive one. On the other hand, it seeks to determine the relationship between the leadership style and the socio-demographic characteristics of whom exercises it. To this end, a quantitative study has been carried out, using a questionnaire as a data collection tool. In this way, the responses of 676 teachers from different educational centers throughout Catalonia were collected. The research results show that teachers identify with adaptive leadership, a style of mobilisation that differs from exclusivity and involves adapting to different situations in order to provide the educational response that best suits the needs of that time.
