Popis: Purpose of the Study: The leadership of a headmaster at the school has a major influence on school management and teacher management. These influences also impact the task load of the Special Education Integration Program (SEIP) teacher. Various studies have been conducted in Malaysia and abroad on this issue. Based on previous studies and research on existing leadership theories, five leadership factors impact the SEIP teacher's task load, namely leadership style, attitude, knowledge, experience, and qualifications. The purpose of this study is to determine whether these factors affect the task load of the SEIP teacher. Methodology: A fully quantitative method was used in this study by distributing a set of online questionnaires to SEIP teachers across Malaysia using the Google for platform. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) through AMOS software is used for data analysis purposes. Main Findings: The findings show that all the factors mentioned in the leadership style, attitude, knowledge, experience, and competency of achievement are validated as influences on the SEIP teacher's task load. There have been several studies examining the leadership factor affecting the task load of the SEIP teacher, but the application of the CFA approach using AMOS is still underdeveloped. Therefore, the findings of this study can further confirm previous findings on this issue. Application: This research can be useful for the headmaster and the SEIP teachers to give their best in school management. Novelty: It is common to read about the issue for this research is the premier school, but this research was based on the special education field.
