Abstract
The purpose of this research is to identify the impact of Distributed Leadership (DL) on
school governance, leading to an improvement in the overall school performance. This
study was conducted in two private schools in the UAE. The review of related literature
helped to understand the concept of distributed leadership and its impact on
governance, school performance, and organizational hierarchy. The data was collected
using a mixed method using surveys and interviews. The data was analyzed using
descriptive analysis and moderated regression analysis. The conclusion reached was
that DL has a positive impact on the relationship between governance and performance.
It was also found that DL was being applied in both schools at varying levels, and each
had areas that needed improvement. The most important implication was the
connection of DL to governance and performance. The findings offer relevant insights
for schools studied, as well as for similar schools.
