Yuanfeng Sha, Luocheng JinAbstract
Objective
Educational leaders generally face heavy workloads and complex managerial challenges, which easily generate persistent psychological stress, disrupt stable mental states, damage individual mental health, and negatively affect professional decision-making quality and team operational effectiveness. This study explores the influencing mechanism of educational leaders’ psychological resilience on their decision-making and team performance, aiming to clarify its positive role in alleviating work psychological pressure, stabilizing mental states and maintaining good mental health.
Subjects and Methods
This study selects 75 educational leaders from diverse educational institutions as research subjects. Based on questionnaire surveys and empirical statistical analysis, it comprehensively measures core variables including psychological resilience, work psychological pressure, mental health level, decision-making quality and team effectiveness, and systematically analyzes the correlation and action mechanism among these psychological and work indicators.
Results
Educational leaders’ psychological resilience presents a significant positive correlation with decision-making quality and team effectiveness. Higher psychological resilience can effectively mitigate long-term work psychological pressure, stabilize fluctuating mental states, improve overall mental health status, and further drive the continuous optimization of individual decision-making ability and team comprehensive effectiveness.
Conclusions
Psychological resilience serves as a core protective factor for educational leaders. It effectively relieves occupational psychological pressure, regulates abnormal mental states, and safeguards long-term mental health, while significantly improving individual decision-making quality and team management efficiency. The findings provide a reliable theoretical basis for mental health cultivation and work performance optimization of educational managers.
