Keywords:
Digital Leadership, Work Engagement, and Teacher Performance EffectivenessAbstract
The objectives of this research were to (1) study the level of digital leadership work engagement and teacher performance effectiveness (2) study the direct and indirect effect of digital leadership work engagement on teacher performance effectiveness (3) examine the consistency of the relationship model among digital leadership work engagement and teacher performance effectiveness with empirical data. The sample consisted of 265 teachers. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The gathered data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modelling (SEM).
The research results found that 1) The overall average level of digital leadership work engagement and teacher performance effectiveness were at a high level ( = 4.33 SD = 0.54, = 4.46 SD = 0.48, = 4.45 SD = 0.44) respectively. 2) Digital leadership and work engagement had a positive direct effect on teacher performance effectiveness (b = 0.38 p<0.01, b = 0.54 p<0.01). Digital leadership had a positive direct effect on work engagement (b = 0.78, p < 0.01) and had an indirect effect on teacher performance effectiveness through
work engagement (b = 0.42, p<0.01). The total effect value was 0.80, explaining the variation of teacher performance effectiveness at 76 %. 3) The relationship model among digital leadership work engagement and teacher performance effectiveness was consistent with the empirical data (c2 /df = 1.30 p-value = 0.06 RMR = 0.0076 RMSEA = 0.034 GFI = 0.96 AGFI = 0.93 NFI = 0.99 and CFI = 1.00). Based on the findings, administrators should develop and apply digital leadership to enhance teachers' work engagement to work effectively and achieve school’s goals.
