Abstract: Background/purpose: This study examines the extent to which academic department heads at Jordanian universities practice transcendental leadership and its relationship with faculty members' self-management. Transcendental leadership, a contemporary model emphasizing moral growth, collaboration, and alignment with institutional and individual motivations, fosters innovation and ethical practices within educational settings. Materials/methods: The study used a descriptive correlational survey design. The study sample consisted of 302 faculty members from Jordanian universities chosen through simple random sampling. Results: Results show that department heads practice transcendental leadership moderately across domains such as communication, meeting management, decision-making, and administrative innovation. Faculty members also demonstrate moderate selfmanagement skills, including time management, goal-setting, and emotional balance. A statistically significant positive correlation emerges between transcendental leadership and faculty members' self-management, highlighting the role of effective leadership in promoting autonomy, collaboration, and professional engagement. Conclusion: The study recommends providing professional development programs for department heads to enhance their communication, participatory decision-making, and administrative creativity, fostering ethical, transparent, and inclusive leadership. These efforts aim to create a supportive academic environment that enhances faculty self-management and drives continuous institutional growth.
