Abstract

This research aimed to examine the position power of headmasters of Vocational High Schools (SMK), the correlation of every indicator towards latent construct variable of the position power, and the indicators that significantly affected the formation of the latent construct variable of the position power of SMK headmasters. The research employed a survey methodology with sample consisting of 168 vocational high school teachers in Medan. Questionnaires as the research instrument measured the position power of SMK headmasters with a reliability coefficient of 0.913. Data analysis techniques used descriptive statistical analysis and confirmatory factor analysis with SEM analysis using AMOS tools. The research findings showed that the position power of the SMK headmasters was classified as strong (65.48% strong, 30.95% sufficiently strong, and 3.57% insufficiently strong). The subsequent findings demonstrated that coercive power was the strongest indicator (92.93%) that affected the formation of the latent construct variable of the position power of the SMK headmaster, which was followed by reward power indicator with 88.92%, expert power indicator with 85.38%, legitimate power indicator with 81.72% s, and referent power indicator with 79.21%. These findings significantly contributed to the development of the leadership theory in educational settings, particularly in vocational education.
