Abstract

This research aimed to identify the degree of faculty members' practice of democratic leadership in Saudi universities from their point of view. The research used a descriptive analytical approach and was applied to a sample of 380 faculty members from three Saudi government universities in the Riyadh region. The sample included 184 males and 196 females with different academic levels: teaching assistant, lecturer, assistant professor, associate professor, professor. The questionnaire was used for collecting data and consisted of five dimensions. The research found that all the dimensions that measure the degree of democratic leadership practice among faculty members appeared to be generally high from their point of view. There were no statistically significant differences in the degree of their practice based on gender or years of experience, but there are statistically significant differences based on the academic level.
