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.
