Abstract

The interactions among teachers, facilities, leadership, and administrative systems influence the quality of educational services. A holistic approach is necessary to understand how morale, cooperation, professional practices, and facility management improve the effectiveness of early childhood education services. This study aims to analyze the effect of school principal leadership on the quality of Early Childhood Education services. The research used a quantitative correlational method with questionnaires administered to 35 respondents. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS through validity, reliability, and t-statistics tests to ensure the instruments' accuracy and the significance of variable relationships. The research findings revealed that school principal leadership (SPL) had a positive and significant impact on service quality (SQ), with an Original Sample of 0.791, a T-statistic of 17.960, and a P-value of 0.000. This indicates that morale, cooperation, active and professional learning, as well as the utilization and maintenance of equipment, play a significant role in creating quality administrative services and optimizing the use of school facilities. In conclusion, SPL significantly influences SQ, suggesting that morale, cooperation, professional learning, leadership, and the use of facilities are crucial in improving administrative service quality and overall school effectiveness.

Abstract

The "Crabs in a Barrel Syndrome" (CBS), a behaviour characterised by undermining peers to maintain one’s own position, can hinder collaboration and innovation in Early Childhood Education (ECE) institutions. This study aims to examine how CBS manifests in the workplace culture of ECE teachers and to explore collaborative leadership strategies to mitigate such behaviours. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving 9 participants across three ECE centres in Merauke, Indonesia. Thematic analysis was conducted using Braun and Clarke’s six-step framework. The findings reveal that CBS manifests as fear of dominance, resistance to change, and avoidance of open collaboration. However, interventions such as weekly reflection forums, collective appreciation systems, and participatory leadership proved effective in fostering trust, enhancing team cohesion, and nurturing a more constructive work environment. This study concludes that organisational designs that promote psychological safety and transparent communication are essential in countering harmful competitive cultures. Theoretically, the research contributes to the understanding of micro-organisational dynamics in educational settings, while practically, it offers concrete recommendations for ECE administrators to cultivate inclusive and collaborative workplaces.

Abstract

Crab mentality, often described as a tendency to obstruct or undermine the success of others, poses a significant challenge to collaboration and human resource development (HRD) within higher education institutions. This study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore how academics experience crab mentality, how they interpret and cope with it, and what implications it holds for HRD strategies. Data were collected from 15 purposively selected participants, including lecturers, administrative staff, and unit heads, at university X in Papua, Indonesia, through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that crab mentality manifests through passive-aggressive behaviors, lack of collegial support, resistance to innovation, and the downplaying of others’ achievements. Participants described feelings of isolation, mistrust, and alienation, which undermined their motivation and willingness to engage in collaborative projects. Organizational factors such as hierarchical structures, individual-based promotion systems, and competitive reforms aimed at achieving world-class university status further reinforced the prevalence of crab mentality. Despite these challenges, participants demonstrated coping strategies including endurance, selective collaboration, and seeking support from trusted peers. The study highlights that crab mentality directly contradicts the goals of HRD by weakening professional development, obstructing leadership cultivation, and reducing organizational learning capacity. To mitigate these effects, strategic HRD interventions are recommended, including team-based reward systems, transformational leadership development, structured mentoring programs, and transparent HR policies. These interventions are critical for fostering an academic culture that values collaboration, inclusivity, and innovation, thereby strengthening both institutional cohesion and global competitiveness.
