| description | Flow is one’s psycho-physiological response to success in challenging situations and an important motivational factor. Using Csikszentmihalyi’s nine dimensions of Flow in this study, a purposive sample of school leaders (N=8) was interviewed about their Flow experiences.

The misfit of Csikszentmihalyi’s model is important in school leadership studies, and this research will provide better understanding of school leaders’ motivation. |
