Abstract

This study explores the influence of teachers’ leadership styles, personality traits and IT application on class management effectiveness in junior high schools, through which factors affecting the management effectiveness will be found out and can be effectively executed in later practices so as to enhance class management effectiveness. With junior high school teachers as the research subjects, this study conducted empirical analysis through questionnaire to probe into the relevance between teachers’ leadership styles, personality traits and IT application and class management effectiveness. 100 questionnaires were given out, among which 92 were successfully collected. After ANOVA and t test analysis, the result shows that there are four leadership styles (goal orientation type, stable and conservative type, considerate and supportive type and creative and adapting type) and five personality traits (Emotional Stability, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion and Openness) that are relevant to class management effectiveness. Moreover, the higher degree information technology is applied to the class, the more positive the effect on management effectiveness will be. Therefore, class management effectiveness can be improved in an obvious manner if teachers can appropriately make use of the above four leadership styles, five personalities and IT application

Key Words
