Abstract


Perkembangan teknologi semasa dan perubahan iklim kerja pasca pandemik Covid 19 menjadikan kepimpinan maya semakin relevan dan penting. Kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti tahap amalan kepimpinan maya guru besar, tahap kesediaan guru terhadap perubahan, menguji hubungan antara kedua-dua pemboleh ubah serta menentukan tahap kepimpinan maya dan kesediaan guru terhadap perubahan berdasarkan faktor demografi. Kajian tinjauan ini melibatkan 303 sampel guru daripada 1100 populasi. Analisis deskriptif yang memberikan nilai min, sisihan piawai, frekuensi dan peratus adalah untuk menentukan tahap pemboleh ubah manakala analisis inferensi melibatkan ujian korelasi Pearson, ujian t serta anova satu hala dibuat untuk menguji hubungan dan perbezaan antara pemboleh ubah. Dapatan menunjukkan tahap amalan kepimpinan maya guru besar (min = 3.97, sisihan piwai = 0.73) dan tahap kesediaan guru terhadap perubahan (min = 3.98, sisihan piawai = 0.60) adalah pada tahap yang tinggi. Dapatan juga menunjukkan terdapat hubungan positif yang kuat antara tahap amalan kepimpinan maya dengan tahap kesediaan guru terhadap perubahan (r = 0.65). Analisis juga menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan tahap amalan kepimpinan maya guru besar berdasarkan faktor jantina tetapi terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan berdasarkan faktor umur. Seterusnya dapatan menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan dalam tahap kesediaan guru terhadap perubahan berdasarkan faktor jantina dan tempoh perkhidmatan. Antara implikasi kajian ialah latihan kepimpinan perlu mempunyai komponen kepimpinan maya, manakala untuk kajian akan datang dicadangkan agar kaedah kualitatif digunakan untuk memperjelaskan lagi faktor-faktor dalam kepimpinan maya yang boleh meningkatkan kesediaan guru untuk melakukan perubahan di samping melibatkan sampel yang lebih menyeluruh.

Abstract

Current technological developments and post-pandemic work climate of Covid 19 make virtual leadership increasingly relevant. This study aims to identify the level of virtual leadership practice of head teachers, the level of teacher readiness for change, the relationship between the two variables and to determine the level of virtual leadership and teacher readiness for change based on demographic factors. The survey involved 303 teachers out of 1100 populations. Descriptive analysis giving mean values, standard deviation, frequency and percentage was to determine the level of variables while inferential analysis involving Pearson correlation test, t test and one-way anova was made to test the relationship and difference between variables. Findings show that the level of head teachers’ virtual leadership (mean = 3.97, standard deviation = 0.73) and the level of teachers' readiness (mean = 3.98, standard deviation = 0.60) are at a high level. The findings also show that there is a strong positive relationship between the variables (r = 0.649). The analysis also showed that there was no significant difference in the level of virtual leadership practice of head teachers based on gender factors but there were significant differences based on age factors. Furthermore, the findings show that there are significant differences in the level of teachers' readiness based on gender factors and length of service. The implications of the study are that leadership training should have virtual leadership component, while for future studies qualitative methods and more samples are recommended.
