A Research On Headmaster's Cohesion Power

Headmaster's cohesion power is charisma and attraction generated in school faculty members with the headmaster's excellent quality, his skillful exercise of power and outstanding achievements, and it also means school faculty members' centripetal force and loyalty to the school. The nature of headmaster's cohesion power is the school faculty members' acceptance and recognition of the headmaster, the school leadership and the school proper. Headmaster's cohesion power is mainly expressed in the following three factors: 1. conducive to the formation of collaborative work; 2. conducive to improvement of work efficiency; 3. conducive to boosting staff's morale.The main factors influencing headmasters' cohesion power can be divided into macroscopic factors and microscopic factors. The former mainly includes the headmaster's qualification system, headmaster's selection system, the evaluation system of the headmaster and the headmaster's position power, while the latter chiefly consists of the headmaster's charisma, the school's campus culture, the school's interpersonal relations, the way the headmaster operates the school and the school's common vision. Microscopic factors play a critical role in shaping headmaster's cohesion power.From the interviews and a questionnaire about headmaster's cohesion power, it is found that headmaster's poor cohesion power and discrete phenomenon are quite obvious, which mainly lie in the headmaster's poor charisma to the school faculty members, and the poor centripetal force and loyalty of the school faculty members to the headmaster. The headmaster's poor charisma can be attributed to two aspects of macroscopic factors and microscopic factors, namely, the macroscopic factors include the inadequate system of headmaster qualification, unscientific selection system, weal: professional training, the unbalances of headmaster's responsibility, power and interest, and improper exercise of the power, while the microscopic factors the headmaster's poor charisma, the inadequate construction of school campus culture, the incompatibility of school's interpersonal relations, improper ways the headmaster runs the school and no common vision for the school.Targeting at the reasons resulting in headmaster's poor cohesion power, the writer of the dissertation puts forward macroscopic and microscopic strategies correspondingly. Macroscopic strategies include perfecting the headmaster's qualification system, establishing the selection system of headmaster, improving the professional training of headmasters, improving the incentive measures of headmasters and implementing the headmaster's accountability system. Microscopic strategies involves boosting headmaster's charisma, constructing the good campus culture, building harmonious interpersonal relations, employing the proper ways of management, working out the school's common vision and satisfying the teachers' reasonable demands.
