the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? School-level aggregated strategic leadership showed significant associations with all four attitudinal dimensions while general leadership showed none. → Zhang 2023
q3 i? School-level aggregated strategic climate was significantly associated with Requirement, Openness, and Appeal, while general climate showed no significant organizational-level association. → Zhang 2023 (2)

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Multilevel models on 441 implementers in 52 schools (Level 2: N = 52) tested school-aggregated leadership and climate as predictors of the four EBPAS dimensions; the results and discussion report that "neither gen- eral leadership nor climate exhibited significant associations" at the organizational level.
"At the organizational level, only strategic leadership and climate showed consistent significant and sizable associa- tions with all four attitudinal dimensions, while neither gen- eral leadership nor climate exhibited significant associations."

q3 · i? · associational · r2
In the climate models from the same multilevel analysis, "only stra- tegic climate was significantly associated with Require- ment, Openness, and Appeal" at the organizational level; Table 8 shows organizational-level general climate was nonsignificant for all four dimensions.
"At the organizational level, only stra- tegic climate was significantly associated with Require- ment, Openness, and Appeal. At the individual level, both general and strategic climates were significantly associated with Requirement and Openness (Table 8)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Implementers within the same school share similar attitudes toward EBPs, with intra-class correlations of 0.06 to 0.13 across four attitudinal dimensions — related
- At the organizational level, general climate negatively moderates the positive effect of strategic climate on implementers' perceptions of EBP appeal and divergence — related
- At the individual level, both general and strategic leadership and climate are associated with Requirement and Openness attitudes, but only general factors with Appeal and Divergence — related
