Description
Summary:This study aims to evaluate the influence of principals' instructional leadership behavior on quality management practices in Islamic integration private primary schools. A quantitative research design was employed, involving surveys distributed to 62 primary school teachers in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. The survey instrument included measures of instructional leadership behaviors and various aspects of quality management practices within the school setting. Data were analyzed using both correlation and regression analysis to examine the relationships between principals' instructional leadership behavior and quality management practices comprehensively. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between principals' instructional leadership behavior and quality management practices (r = .781, p < .000). Additionally, regression analysis indicated that instructional leadership behavior accounted for 61.1% of the variance in quality management practices, highlighting the substantial influence of leadership on school quality outcomes. The study concludes that effective instructional leadership behavior by principals is crucial for enhancing quality management practices in Islamic integration private primary schools. These findings suggest that professional development programs focusing on leadership skills and behaviors could be highly beneficial for school administrators. Future research should explore this relationship further by incorporating a larger sample size and considering additional variables that may influence the effectiveness of instructional leadership on quality management in different educational contexts.
