Abstract

Higher education institutions (HEIs) are under growing pressure to change their curricula in order to promote sustainability, creativity, and equity in an educational environment that is changing quickly due to new trends and labor demands. The issue is that the Khmer HEI faculty members continue to struggle to undertake meaningful curricular change. Studies on the impact of transformational leadership on curriculum reform in HEIs are scarce in the literature, despite the expanding corpus of research on curriculum implementation. This fundamental qualitative study aims to investigate the effects of transformational leadership on curricular reform among faculty members in the Khmer HEIs. The theoretical frameworks employed in this study were: (i) change leadership theory; and (ii) reconceptualist curriculum theory. The purpose of this study was to investigate how transformational leadership behaviors and methods affect curriculum reform in the Khmer HEIs. Twenty-five people were chosen to make up the sample from the target demographic of the Khmer HEI faculty members using purposeful sampling. Each participant had to meet three requirements for inclusion: they had to be employed at the research location for at least three years, be knowledgeable about curriculum reform, and have a theoretical grasp of transformational leadership. Semi-structured interview techniques were used to gather the data, and the NVivo was used to analyze it using Braun and Clarke’s (2019) theme analysis methodology. This study illustrated the beneficial effects of transformational leadership behaviors and techniques on curriculum reform in the Khmer HEIs. The results demonstrated that through enhancing engagement and communication, boosting support, promoting diversity, and facilitating knowledge sharing and collaboration, transformational leadership behaviors and techniques helped the Khmer HEIs alter their curricula. The findings of this study may help policymakers and educational leaders implement successful leadership models to assist curriculum reform by leading to better academic results and institutional change in higher education.

Abstract

Quality of work life is a core element relating to many factors of teacher performance and educational quality in Cambodia. To improve the quality of education, it is necessary to improve the quality of teachers’ work life, because teachers are the main drivers of educational quality. Given its important, the main purpose of this study was to identify the key factors affecting the quality of work life of Cambodian high school teachers. This study also examines the similarities and differences between the key factors affecting the quality of work life based on the demographic information and analysis the relationship between the variables of those key factors. A cross-sectional quantitative design was utilized, involving a sample total of 760 high school teachers from different demographic characteristics from 3 representative provinces and 1 capital city participated in this study. The instrument used in this study was the set of questionnaires which was adapted and prepared by researcher with its reliability at 0.97. Collected data were analysed using statistical methods such as descriptive statistics, t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. There were many implications for improving quality of work life and while organizational alliance had a strong affecting quality of work life. The findings revealed that, overall, the quality of working life of Cambodian high school teachers was at a high level (M=3.55, SD= 0.55). Ranks from the highest to the lowest mean values were: organizational alliance, job satisfaction, organizational climate, organizational culture, and quality of work life, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships among all studied factors. However, multiple regression analysis indicated unexpected negative pathways for job satisfaction and organizational alliance when controlling for other variables, suggesting complex context-specific dynamics. These baseline insights offer critical implications for educational policymakers seeking to refine teacher-centric support frameworks and institutional environments in Cambodia.
