The worldwide Covid-19 pandemic has significantly changed the leadership style of Malaysian school leaders. To balance the current leadership challenges of the pandemic and the rapidity of technology, school leaders must think ahead and infuse new ones in leadership styles. As a result, the purpose of this study was to identify the functions and behaviours of new leadership styles of school leaders. The results of the questionnaire analysis collected from 103 respondents (principals=74) and (headmasters=29) school leaders using SEM AMOS successfully identified and validated nine functions and 42 behaviours in the new school leadership style. These functions are virtual meetings, virtual forums or discussions, sharing of new information, file sharing, virtual communication, supervision of digital technology-assisted teaching, monitoring student performance with digital technology, promoting development and professionalism. These functions include virtual meetings, virtual forums or discussions, the dissemination of new information, file sharing, virtual communication, the supervision of digital technology-assisted teaching, the monitoring of student performance with digital technology, and the promotion of development and professionalism. This study is expected to have a significant impact on school leaders' use of new leadership styles in the school. |
