Education & Experience

Bio

My primary research area is focused on organizational ethics, mainly in educational systems. My current research projects focus on comparative and international studies in educational systems. Based on MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE-Individual Fellowships, Horizon 2020, European Commission grant, I conduct a study together with Prof. Benavot and Prof. Schiller from the State University at Albany, by comparing the ethical aspects of TIMSS international learning assessments among school principals, teachers, and students in 45 countries. 

My research focuses on the following new perspectives: The relationship between perceived "positive behaviors" (e.g., "organizational citizenship behaviors”) and perceived "negative behaviors" (e.g., withdrawal behaviors); Developing scales for 'measuring school Ecological culture' and 'teachers' tendency to absence'; Authentic leadership in Mixed methods; Team-based-simulations (TBS) as a tool to promote ethical behavior among teachers and educational leadership; and developing mentoring strategies. 

In recognition of accomplishments in my research areas, I have received in addition to MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE grant, Israeli Ministry of Education grant (subject: Successful School Leadership as a Means for Retaining Novice Teachers: Towards Developing a School Ecological Culture Measure); The Bar-Ilan University Rector's Grant, the Lookstein Center, and the Schnitzer Foundation. 

To date, I have published extensive research - 39 peer-reviewed articles - in a wide range o of highly ranked scholarly journals, including Educational Administration Quarterly, Journal of Educational Administration, Educational Management Administration & Leadership, School Leadership & Management, Journal of School Leadership, Internanational Journal of Leadership in Education and Teaching and Teacher Education.

Many of the articles have been presented at prestigious international conferences, such   as the ‘The Comparative and International Education Society', 'the American Educational Research Association', and 'European Educational Research Association'.

In the last years I was invited to conduct collaborative research in the University at Albany, State University of New York, Albany; University of Missouri at Columbia, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, and Fordham University, N.Y.

Moreover, I have been appointed a member of several editorial boards and served as a reviewr of articles submitted for publication in most of the prominent journals in the field oof educational leadership and management.
