Abstract

Professional learning communities (PLCs) are essential for fostering collaboration and continuous school improvement. However, their implementation faces significant challenges, including passive teacher attitudes, limited understanding of PLCs, increased workloads, and ineffective execution by school communities. Addressing these challenges requires a supportive organizational structure that enhances PLCs effectiveness. This study aims to examine the effect of middle leadership (MLT) on PLCs. Specifically, this study also examines the mediating effect of teacher participation in decision-making (TM) on the relationship between MLT and PLCs. Data were collected from 284 secondary school teachers in Penang and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings revealed that MLT had a significant effect on PLCs, and TM mediates the relationship between MLT and PLCs. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers and school leaders on fostering a collaborative school culture through effective MLT practices, ultimately strengthening PLCs implementation in Malaysian secondary schools. Furthermore, these findings underscore the significance of empowering teachers participation in decision-making to enhance PLCs effectiveness.

Abstract

This study investigates the mediating role of organizational learning (OL) in the relationship between leadership communication (LC), knowledge management (KM), and organizational commitment (OC) among academic staff in Chinese higher education institutions. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 402 academic staff and analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The model tested the direct effects of LC and KM on OL and their subsequent impact on OC. The results reveal that LC significantly influences OL (B = 0.615, p < 0.001), while KM also has a positive and significant effect on OL (B = 0.203, p < 0.001). OL, in turn, plays a crucial role in enhancing OC (B = 0.754, p < 0.001). Importantly, OL mediates the relationship between LC and OC (B = 0.464, p < 0.001) and between KM and OC (B = 0.153, p < 0.001). The model demonstrated high explanatory power, with OL accounting for 70.2% of its variance (R² = 0.702) and OC explaining 58.5% (R² = 0.585). This research uniquely integrates OL as a mediator in the triadic relationship between LC, KM, and OC, offering new insights into how organizational learning strengthens organizational commitment. It enriches the underexplored context of Chinese higher education and provides practical recommendations for academic leaders and policymakers. By fostering a learning-centric environment, institutions can enhance knowledge-sharing practices, improve communication strategies, and build long-term organizational loyalty among academic staff.
