Invisible labour: Principals’ emotional labour in volatile times

由于工作量增加和管理不同社区的精神劳动，学校面临着重大的校长招聘和留住危机。该项目旨在改善学校校长的领导力准备和发展，以帮助他们管理复杂的情感工作量需求。该项目预计将产生关于主要劳动力发展的新知识，并为政策制定者创建一个框架，确定培养领导人情感技能和在不同社区之间建立桥梁所需的知识和做法。预期的好处包括减少校长流动率、改善教师保留率、改善学生成绩和增强社会凝聚力。

Schools face a major principal recruitment and retention crisis due to intensified workloads and the emotional labour of managing diverse communities. This project aims to improve leadership preparation and development for school principals to help them manage complex emotional workload demands. The project expects to generate new knowledge about principal workforce development and to create a framework for policymakers that identifies the knowledge and practices required to develop leaders’ emotional skills and build bridges across diverse communities. Anticipated benefits include reduced principal turnover, improved teacher retention, improved student outcomes and greater social cohesion.
