the “Headmasters’ Paternalistic Leadership Behaviours Scale”, “Organizational

significant correlation between the paternalistic leadership behaviours of
primary school administrators and teachers’ perceptions toward organizational
creativity and organizational dissent and paternalistic leadership behaviors of
