Abstract

The study on competitive advantages is based on two views: resource-based view and competence -based view. The current study aimed to identify the degree of kindergartens' principals' administrative creativity and its relationship in achieving the competitive advantage degree of the Arab public kindergartens in Israel from the kindergarten’s principals’ perspectives. The study sample consisted of (378) public kindergartens principals who were chosen by using convenience sampling. The study results showed that the competitive advantage degree of kindergartens and administrative creativity among public kindergartens principals were high. There are significant differences at the competitive advantage degree and administrative creativity degree among public kindergartens principals from the perspectives of study sample due to the years of experience only. Moreover, there is a significant positive correlation between the administrative creativity degree among Arab public kindergarten principals and the competitive advantage degree of public kindergartens. Depending on the study results, the researcher recommends that the education ministry should find out new inventive ways of choosing creative kindergartens' principals. What is more, educational institutions must invest in human skills, and develop unique resources to create difference and acquire competitive advantage.
