Literature Review

Leadership in school management can be defined as: “A process to influence the leading achievement of desired purposes. Leadership is successful in developing a vision for schools based on personal and professional values. Values articulate this vision at every opportunity towards staff and stakeholders towards shared vision achievement” (Locke et al., 2019).

Leadership Dimension

For school leadership management, there are three dimensions evaluated for leadership which are:

  • Leadership Is Influence: Influence leadership relationship involves the social influence process and intentional influence exerted by one person over another used to structure the group in the organization.

  • Leadership and Values: According to Turner and Baker (2018), ‘influence’ is disinterested because it does not explain the goals and actions to pursue. Leadership and values have a more robust connection. Leaders milled their actions in professional and transparent values. Leaders and teachers are enthusiastic regarding the change.

  • Leadership and Vision: Stadnick et al. (2019) said evaluate an emphasis in his paper that vision is an essential part of effective leadership. Suhrheinrich suggests that heads of department are more motivated towards hard work because they pursue individual vision. When the vision is clear, it can develop schools, but according to the empirical evidence, its effectiveness is mixed.
