Abstract

The need for effective principal in every school is critical and the demand for leadership talent is increasing especially among novice principals. Therefore, an effective induction program would be crucial to support novice principals in improving their knowledge and leadership skills. This quantitative study aims to determine the level of implementation of the novice principal induction program regarding professional development course, coaching, and mentoring; and to identify the main components that contribute to the improvement of organizational management among novice principals. A total of 417 novice principals who participated in the induction program in Malaysia provided their feedback in a questionnaire consisting of 44 items. The items include three components in the induction program, encompassing the professional development course, coaching, and mentoring in improving organizational management. The study found that the professional development course is the main component followed by coaching in improving the management skills of novice principals. Hence, novice principals’ learning in induction should be directly linked to their own professional development to increase the effectiveness of school operations and student achievement.

Abstract

Teacher job satisfaction is essential for ensuring high-quality education. While instructional leadership and teacher professional development are widely recognized as influential factors, their interaction remains insufficiently examined, particularly in the context of private primary schools in China. This study investigates how headteachers’ instructional leadership and teachers’ professional development contribute to job satisfaction, using data collected from 350 teachers in private primary schools in Zhengzhou, China. Regression and mediation analyses were conducted with SPSS and PROCESS to assess the direct and indirect relationships among the variables. The findings reveal that both instructional leadership and professional development positively influence teacher satisfaction. Furthermore, teacher professional development partially mediates the effect of instructional leadership on job satisfaction, indicating a dual pathway through which school leaders can enhance outcomes for teachers. These results underscore the importance of supportive leadership and continuous professional opportunities in fostering a satisfied and motivated teaching workforce. The study contributes to the growing body of applied educational research in non-Western contexts and offers practical implications for improving teacher retention and development practices in private education settings.
