Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the degree of educational supervisors' servant leadership practices and their connection to teachers' professional development from the perspective of the supervisors themselves. The researcher used a descriptive correlational method and employed two questionnaires to collect data: the first consisting of 31 items to determine the degree of educational supervisors' servant leadership practices, and the second consisting of 25 items to assess teachers' professional development. The questionnaires were administered to a sample of 88 male and female supervisors. The results showed that the degree of educational supervisors' servant leadership practices, from their perspective, was high, with a mean score of 3.89. Additionally, the results indicated that the level of teachers' professional development was also high, with a mean score of 3.68. The study further revealed that there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level (α≤0.05) in the study sample's assessments of the degree of educational supervisors' servant leadership practices based on the variables of gender and years of experience. Furthermore, the results indicated a positive correlation between the level of supervisors' servant leadership practices and the level of teachers' professional development.
