This study aimed at finding out the level of practicing
transformational decision-making process by secondary school
principals in Amman governorate and its relation to the level of
their motivation towards work. The sample consisted of (100) male

drawn by using proportional stratified random sample from the
population of the study. Two instruments were used: the first was
“Decision-making Self-Assessment Questionnaire”, and the
second was “Principals’ Motivation towards work
Questionnaire”. The findings of the study showed that the level of
practicing transformational decision-making process by secondary
school principals was medium (Mean: 2.97, Sd.: 1.07). the level of
principals’ motivation towards work was high, (Mean: 4.01, sd:
0.67). Finally, there was a significant positive relationship at ( 
0.001) between the level of practicing transformational decision
making process by the principals and their level of motivation
towards work. The value of the correlation coefficient was (0.98).
Recommendations of the study : Organizing seminars for
secondary school principals, pertaining to transformational
decision-making in particular and to the theory of
transformational leadership in general, conducting similar studies
in Jordanian public and private universities, in light of age,
gender, experience, and academic qualifications variables should
