The relationship of headmasters’ shared leadership and teachers’ motivation in primary schools
Anis Salwa Abdullah1.
This study was carried out to examine the relationship between the headmasters’
shared leadership and the teachers’ motivation in the UPSR-excellent primary schools.
Specifically, three components of shared leadership are tested, namely planning, management,
and problem-solving, development and mentoring, and support and consideration. While
motivation constructs are tested through eight components. A total of 120 teachers were
randomly selected from three SKPM Score 4 primary schools with UPSR GPS 2015 ranging
from 1.00 to 2.00 in Kelantan. The data were collected through 44 items-questionnaires using
Shared Leadership Perception Survey Instrument, SLPS (Wood, 2005) and Teacher Motivation
Survey Instrument, TMS (Boyle, 2014). The data were analysed using descriptive statistical
analysis, t-test, ANOVA test, Pearson correlation and linear regression. The study found that
shared leadership and teacher motivation in primary schools were at the high levels. In terms
of the differences in motivation based on the demographic factors, there is no significant
difference between male and female teachers. However, teachers' motivation based on teaching
experience is significant, that teachers with 20 to 29 years of teaching experience have the
highest level of motivation. This study also found that shared leadership is significantly,
positively correlated to teachers' motivation. In fact, the headmasters’ shared leadership also
positively and significantly influences the motivation of teachers. The K2 component is the
greatest significant predictor of teachers’ motivation. The results of this study support the all
the constructs, which is the shared leadership plays the important role and contributes towards
improving teachers’ job motivation in primary schools. This study suggests the relationship
and influence of shared leadership as a construct and its components as the significant
contributors by identifying the roles and interests of each component in the shared leadership
in order to increase the motivation of teachers in primary schools.
