Abstract	The study aimed to identify the influence of head teachers' change facilitator styles (CFS) on teachers' concerns about ICT integration. The three CFS (responder, manager and initiator) were studied in relation to its influence on teachers' seven stages of concern (unconcerned, informational, personal, management, consequence, collaboration and refocusing) about ICT integration. Both styles and concerns are embodied in the concerns-based adoption model, which guided the theoretical framework of the study. This quantitative study used CFS and stages of concerns questionnaire to collect data from 276 secondary school teachers. Initially, teachers' concerns were explored, followed by head teachers' CFS and their influence on teachers' concerns about ICT integration. The results showed that secondary school teachers' concerns, regarding ICT integration, were at the initial stages as reflected by their high mean scores on personal and informational stages. Findings inform about the responder as a dominant CFS used by secondary school head teachers. The data suggest differences in terms of the influence of head teachers' three CFS on teachers' concerns about ICT integration. (As Provided).
