    Dissertation Abstract

    The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between the leadership style of school principals and the school environment from the point of view of physical education teachers. The statistical sample includes 97 physical education teachers (56 men and 41 women) and research measurement tools include the Salzman Leadership Style Assessment Questionnaire (SLSI) and the School Environment Level Questionnaire (SLEQ). The results showed that the average score of Salzman's leadership style was 31 (out of 70 possible scores). The average score of the school environment from the point of view of physical education teachers was 179.3 (out of 280 possible scores). Regarding the leadership index, the task-oriented leadership style was identified as the common style among school principals with 69.3 percent of all school principals. Regarding the school environment index, 8 dimensions (student support, dependency, professional interest, work consensus, empowerment, innovation, resource sufficiency and work pressure) were found to be the best among the 8 dimensions. The results of the research hypothesis test showed that there is a correlation between the leadership style of school principals and the teaching environment from the point of view of teachers, but it is not significant at the p 0.05 level. Other results reported a significant relationship between the two demographic variables of gender and education level with leadership style and a significant relationship between the variables of teaching experience and education level with the school environment. rtl;"> 

    1.1. Statement of the research problem

    Education is one of the national development tools in every country. Educational goals, policies and national policies in the field of education are adjusted according to the needs of the individual and the society of that country (Verdinejad, 2019). The success of schools depends on the achievement of the goals of the education organization. Also, the realization of these goals depends on the correct guidance of human resources, which is one of the most important basic duties of managers. In such a way that the success of a manager depends on his efficiency in this field (Hemat, 2014).

    On the other hand, issues related to work environments are considered a fundamental concern from different perspectives
    (Khodayarian, 2008). The occurrence of environmental problems and its increasing trend is the subject of many economic and social science experts. Also, one of the pillars of independence and sustainable development in any society is to benefit from the healthy and efficient forces of that society.

    In recent years, social scientists have shown increasing sensitivity to many environmental conditions that affect individual behavior or are affected by people's behavior (Salehi Imran, 2017). There are many factors affecting the school environment and they are not limited to the appearance of the school. Recently, various experts have almost agreed on its 8 main dimensions (student support, dependence, professional interest, work consensus, empowerment, innovation, resource adequacy and work pressure).

    Since the progress of any university depends on the type and manner of activities that are carried out in schools, it is not possible to ignore appropriate management behaviors in schools (Mirkamali, 2018). In other words, due to the sensitive role that managers have in developing and advancing the goals of education, the undeniable role of managers in the effectiveness of teachers is of special importance (Alegh Band, 2014). Based on this, the role of managers in education and the impact that managers have on the conditions and environment of the school is obvious and shows its role better. Considering that the education organization in a country plays a vital role for education and ultimately the progress of that country and the main driving force is the teachers who are teaching in schools, paying attention to the environment in which teachers are teaching can be very important. Knowing the educational environment, especially the school, and determining its strengths and weaknesses can be of great help to the development and improvement of the work level of teachers and ultimately the progress of the education organization in that country..

    The current research was formulated with the premise that attitudes towards the school environment can have a great impact on education from the point of view of physical education teachers in the classroom and motivating students. And also to what extent the leadership style of school principals can influence the views of teachers. Based on this, how physical education teachers view the school environment and the impact of the principals' leadership style on this view is the main question of the present research.

    2.1. The importance of the research topic and the motive for choosing it

    One ??of the very important factors that has attracted the attention of researchers and has been studied with different approaches over the years is the topic of leadership. Leadership is the act of influencing people so that they strive to achieve group goals with desire and interest. We should know that education is an organ that can have a great impact on the growth of a country, and the main burden of this responsibility is on the shoulders of teachers who may be neglected many times, and paying attention to the physical and mental needs of the teachers' teaching environment can have an impact on improving the quality of teaching. The principal of a school is in a special position as a manager or administrator who controls and manages the school's resources with the aim of achieving organizational goals. Therefore, the principal can be more successful in managing his school by using the appropriate leadership style and use the results of this type of research in an appropriate way. The use of research conducted in this field can put a suitable strategy and method in front of school administrators and guide them in the right way. Finally, this method can increase the efficiency of teachers and subsequently improve school performance and administrators' management.

    The need for education is one of the important and necessary needs of human beings and schools play a vital role in responding to these needs. One of the most important effective factors in learning is the school environment. Teachers should prevent educational obstacles and problems in the school environment and be able to provide a happy and creative environment for learning and social interaction.

    During the last decade, the topic of the school environment has become very important and it has been included in the main educational programs such as (curriculum planning, resources, results, leadership styles, environment) of schools in developed countries. It also has a major contribution to the effectiveness of the school (Peters and Reynolds [1], 1989). These two institutions held the first international workshop on environmental education in 1975 in Belgrade, the capital of Yugoslavia (Salehi Imran, 87). Since then, the role and importance of the work environment has become more evident, and nowadays the physical factors of the environment play an important role in many articles and projects.

    The study of the school environment is mostly because it most likely helps to understand, improve performance, satisfaction and productivity in school. There are many influential factors in the school environment, and most experts in this field agree on 8 factors (student support, dependence, professional interest, work consensus, empowerment, innovation, resource adequacy, and work pressure) that exist in the school environment questionnaire
