Abstract

The purpose of this quantitative survey type study was to find out the effectiveness of transformational leadership practices in primary school organization in Kota Bharu District, Kelantan, Malaysia. Data were collected from 244 teachers randomly selected from 11 daily primary schools. The measurement tool used was the “Transformational Leadership Inventors” (TLI) which contained 22 items related to the six dimensions of transformational leadership developed by Podsakoff, McKenzie and Boomer (1996). For organizational effectiveness, the Effectiveness International School Questionnaire (EISQ) by Doran (2004) which contained 55 items with 11 dimensions was used. The IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26.0 (IBM SPSS 26.0) was used to analyze the data.
