Liderazgo directivo y el clima institucional para potenciar la educación de pregrado en una facultad de Ingeniería de una Universidad Pública en Lima

The purpose of the inquiry was to establish the correlation between the principal's leadership and the institutional climate in a Faculty of Engineering at a Public University in Lima. This was a quantitative, basic descriptive, non-experimental correlational study. Both the population and the sample included 50 educators from the primary and secondary levels. A survey was used as the research method to collect data, and a questionnaire was employed as the instrument—one for each variable—administered individually. The results regarding Principal Leadership indicate that out of 100% (N = 50) of the teachers surveyed, 96% (n = 48) reported that the variable was at a good level. Similarly, the results for Institutional Climate show that 96% (n = 48) of the respondents also rated the variable as good. It was demonstrated that the principal's leadership is directly related to the institutional climate; that is, Spearman’s correlation coefficient showed a positive value. At the inferential level, the significance value was less than 0.05. Therefore, we affirm that there is a correlation between principal leadership and institutional climate in a Faculty of Engineering at a Public University in Lima.
