Abstract

This study investigates strategies to enhance decision-making effectiveness among public elementary school principals in Bogor, Indonesia. A sequential exploratory mixed-methods design (POP-SDM approach) was employed. Preliminary surveys (n=30) revealed significant gaps in decision-making indicators (targeting accuracy: 58%; timeliness: 53%). Qualitative interviews with 15 principals identified five critical variables: visionary leadership, motekar (Sundanese creativity and initiative), empowerment, trust, and ICT literacy. Quantitative path analysis using PLS-SEM with 138 principals (proportionate random sampling from 209) confirmed that trust exerts the strongest direct effect (β = 0.246, p = 0.002), followed by visionary leadership (β = 0.224) and ICT literacy (β = 0.216). The model explained 51.6% of variance in decision-making effectiveness. SITOREM (Scientific Identification Theory for Operations Research in Educational Management) analysis identified priority indicators for improvement, including consistent development, communication and togetherness, and computer operational skills. This study contributes a novel framework integrating indigenous cultural values with technological competence, offering evidence-based strategies for principal development programs. Limitations include cross-sectional design and geographic specificity; future research should employ longitudinal designs across diverse Indonesian regions.

Abstract

The effectiveness of school principals' decision-making is critical to improving the quality of education; however, many principals still face challenges in making timely, accurate, and appropriate decisions. This study aims to examine the direct and indirect effects of visionary leadership (X1), trust (X2), and information and communication technology (ICT) literacy (X3) on decision-making effectiveness (Y) among public elementary school principals in Bogor City. The research employed a mixed-methods approach with a sequential, exploratory design, grounded in the POP-SDM framework. The study population comprised 209 public elementary school principals in Bogor City, and 138 respondents were selected via proportional random sampling. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires that had undergone validity and reliability testing and were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results demonstrated that visionary leadership (β=0.224; p<0.05), trust (β=0.246; p<0.05), and ICT literacy (β=0.216; p<0.05) each exerted a direct positive and significant effect on decision-making effectiveness. Furthermore, trust and ICT literacy partially mediate the influence of visionary leadership on decision-making effectiveness. The research model explained 51.6% of the variance in decision-making effectiveness. These findings confirm that the integrated strengthening of visionary leadership, trust, and ICT literacy can enhance principals' decision-making effectiveness.
