THE IMPACT OF INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP OF THE MIDDLE LEADER TEAM ON THE LEARNING ORGANIZATION FOR TEACHERS IN NATIONAL SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Learning organizations have gained the attention of organizational leaders through the idea of continuous learning, as many leaders have begun applying the concept of learning organizations in various organizational contexts. The need for learning organizations has also brought new focus to the Middle Leader Team (MLT) in schools. However, today’s MLT faces increasingly complex issues and challenges daily, forcing them to select and apply the most effective and impactful leadership styles. Therefore, this research aims to analyze whether MLT instructional leadership influences the learning organization for teachers in national secondary schools. In general, the methodological approach in this study involves quantitative research through a survey method. A total of 451 questionnaire instruments were analyzed using two statistical software packages: Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0 and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) version 24.0. Regression analysis conducted between MLT instructional leadership, and the learning organization showed a significant difference from zero at the 0.05 level (two-tailed). Since the significance value was less than 0.05 (p<0.005), the findings of this research conclude that MLT instructional leadership has a significant direct effect on the learning organization.
