The development of a principal change leadership competency model: a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach

The objectives of the study were twofold: to develop a substantiated Principal Change Leadership Competency Model (PCLCM) and to develop an instrument to identify change leadership competencies that facilitate change and maximise change effctiveness in secondary schools. A total of 936 teachers from...

A total of 936 teachers from 47 high-performing schools in Malaysia completed the survey. Structural equation modelling was applied to test the models.

The PCLCM is a coherent premier empirically tested model derived in a local Malaysian cultural education setting. It provides direction for practitioners as useful feedback in planning, designing, implementing and evaluating future training and development programmes for school principals. Specifially, it is an effctive training needs analysis tool tailored for school principals to identify their distinct needs on relevant training programmes at the diffrent stages of change. It therefore has far-reaching implications for the one-size-fis-all approach frequently employed by trainers and, thus, maximising learning impact. In addition, the Principal Change Leadership Competency Scale is a promising and welcome tool for both practitioners and relevant parties. With only 12 items, it covers four phases of change.
