Abstract

This concept paper was conducted aimed at identifying the instructional leadership practices of headmaster and their relationship with primary school teacher motivation. Hallinger and Murphy’s (1985) instructional leadership models and Herzbeg’s (1959) Two Factor Theory were used to discuss the relationships between these variables. The findings of previous studies found that the practice of instructional leadership has a relationship with the motivation of teachers who are the implementing group in determining the excellence of an educational organization. Headmasters are seen to take less role as instructional leaders who should be able to motivate teachers in improving the quality of teaching and learning. The implications of this concept paper can help the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE), State Education Department (JPN) and District Education Office (PPD) in strengthening the education policy formulated in terms of instructional leadership practices and training aspects to re-evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each leadership style practiced. This study is very useful to be used as a reference for headmasters, teachers and to add to the research literature related to instructional leadership practices and its relationship with teacher motivation. In conclusion, this study shows that instructional leadership of leaders is very relevant implemented in schools and becomes one of the leadership styles that need to be given focus to administrators in schools throughout Malaysia.
