The study reached a set of results, most notably: the practice of school principals of situational leadership according to the theory of Hersey and Blanchard in Al Buraimi Governorate came very high, the training style came in the first rank in practice, followed by the support style, then the delegation style, while the guidance style came in the fourth rank. The study also found that there were no statistically significant differences at the level (0.05 ≥ α) due to the study variables (gender, years of experience). In light of the findings of the study, it recommended finding a system of incentives for school principals who pay great attention to the practice of situational leadership, and to include the practice of situational leadership within the system of measuring individual performance and institutional proficiency to be applied instead of the current job performance report.
