| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The significance of this study is that by conducting a multilevel analysis of factors influencing ECEC teachers' organizational commitment to work, I was able to demonstrate that factors related to job retention are influenced by organizational-level factors such as the leadership of the centre, even though they are based on the ECEC teachers' personal circumstances.
In addition, the research on distributed leadership in the Early Childhood Education and Care domain has been cited for its lack of accumulated quantitative research and the problem of developing a practical measurement scale, but I was able to demonstrate an empirical (adversarial) definition of distributed leadership by sorting out the distinctions with similar collective leadership concepts. One of the achievements of our research is that we were able to sort out the distinctions from similar collective leadership concepts and to formulate an empirical definition of distributed leadership.

本科研研究の意義は，保育者の就労上の組織コミットメントへの影響要因をマルチレベル分析することで，就業継続にかかわる要因は，保育者の個人的な事情を踏まえても，園のリーダーシップ等の組織レベルの要因による影響もあることを，計量的研究によって統計的に実証できたことである．
また，保育領域での分散型リーダーシップ研究は，量的研究の研究蓄積が少ないこと、実用的な測定尺度の開発の問題が挙げられてきたが，類似する集合的リーダーシップ概念との弁別性を整理し，分散型リーダーシップの実証的（残敵的）定義を定位できたことも，研究成果の義の一つに挙げられるだろう．
