Abstract

Job satisfaction is a pivotal element influencing the efficiency and effectiveness of organizations that assess the degree to which someone views their job favorable or unfavorable. This study aimed to examine the influence of school culture and leadership behavior on the job satisfaction of teachers. This research employed mixed methods research, specifically explanatory sequential design. The research took place in Semarang City, Central Java Province, Indonesia. Private elementary school teachers were surveyed using the purposive sampling technique regarding the level of school culture, leadership behavior, and job satisfaction. Then, the teachers were interviewed through IDI and FGD to confirm the salient points. Results were analyzed using mean and regression in the quantitative strand; and thematic data analysis in the qualitative strand. The results showed that there was as very high status of school culture, which means always evident, while perceived leadership behavior was rated very high, which means it is always observed, and job satisfaction was rated as very high, which means it is always manifested. Moreover, the combined influence of the two independent variables, school culture, and leadership behavior have significant influence on the job satisfaction of teachers. Further, confirmed very high rating and confirmed combined significant influence were the common essential themes. Furthermore, connecting-confirmations were the nature of data integration.

Abstract

This study aims to validate a scale that evaluates the leadership self-efficacy among educational leaders. The 92-item scale was developed by group of educational leadership practitioners at a Philippine university headed by Dr. Tan (2025) and was approved for use. To do so, the scale was administered to 200 educational leaders holding different positions. The data obtained were subjected to Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and created a seven-factor model. The factors are set of leadership skills named as Continuous Learning and Professional Growth (Factor 1), Stress Management and Well-being (Factor 2), Communication and Collaboration (Factor 3), Inspirational and Visionary Leadership (Factor 4), Integrity and Ethical Leadership (Factor 5), Adaptability and Resilience (Factor 6), and Mentorship and Empowerment (Factor 7). The model was confirmed utilizing the resulting values of five goodness of fit indices (GFIs) generated by the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). All GFIs resulted to values falling within the thresholds. These GFIs are already adequate to confirm that the model is relatively good fit. The standardized factor loadings (SFLs) and composite reliability (CR) were also excellent, thus, establishing convergent validity. Also, the estimated average variance extracted of all factors provided evidence of discriminant validity and reliability, respectively. Overall, the study resulted in a valid and reliable 26-item scale that effectively measures leadership self-efficacy among educational leaders.
