The findings of the study revealed that school leaders of international schools in Kuala Lumpur possessed all the nine dimensions of Strategic Leadership. It also exhibited that the school leaders of International schools of Kuala Lumpur exercised quite a bit control over their leadership position as it revealed high perception level of self-efficacy. In addition, results of the correlation indicated that there was a statistically significant and positive relationship between Strategic Leadership characteristics and leaders' Self efficacy characteristics. The scope of the study limited the research by restricting it to school leaders of International schools in Kuala Lumpur. Apart from that, the study also restricted its scope to the original nine dimensions of strategic leaders (five organizational capabilities and four individual characteristics of strategic leaders) by Davies (2004); Davies and Davies (2006); Davies and Davies (2009). Moreover, the study serves as a unique opportunity for further research exploring the strategic leadership qualities and self-efficacy of leaders which are essential to bring positive and effective reform in the school system. As many countries strive to improve and reform education system and improve students' performance, a lot of challenges and issues are faced by the school leader. Therefore, this study confirmed that executing effective leadership style such as strategic leadership are important to cater for the need of change with both continuity and sustainability of the school system. | ||
