Measuring valuable antecedents of instructional leadership in educational organisations

On the contrary to business organisation, several researchers argue that instructional leadership is the most appropriate style for educational organisations. This study aims to investigate: (1) the effect of resource capacity, quality management, and communication on trust; and (2) the influence of trust on instructional leadership. This study was conducted using a survey method on high school teachers in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Using a purposive sampling technique, researchers collected 352 responses which were then analysed using SEM-PLS. From three antecedents, communication was found as the most significant antecedent to explain trust between staff. Furthermore, trust has a substantial impact on Instructional Leadership.
