Role of Transformational leadership on Engineering Education Quality Mediating by Teachers Quality

Abstract

Globally, there is need to develop the education system for enhancing the economic growth by developing the students. Now, the education system becomes the business for stake holders that affect the education quality. The education quality provide the vision for students for getting better jobs, managerial positions in the organization, enhancement in  leading qualities. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of transformational leadership on engineering education quality. The current study also examines the mediating role of teacher’s quality, and how teacher’s quality mediates the relationship of transformational leadership and engineering education quality. This study shows the engineering education quality of Indonesian students. Engineering education quality can be determined by the factors of transformational leadership. GAT (General aptitude test) is one of the factor of engineering education quality that is implemented by national testing service (Public institution) and are deliberated as the most trustworthy and identical assessments in the nation to measure student academic know-how. Under this study, quantitative analysis is perform and collecting data from fresh undergraduates students. The data is collected through administrated survey questionnaire, it is more appropriate method in this study because it will give factual data on numerical figure bases that can be evaluate easily and that is free from any type of the ambiguities. The simple random sampling technique is used under this study for selecting the sample from large population. By using simple random sampling technique the questionnaire is distributed among 250 college fresh undergraduates’ students. From 250 questionnaires 200 questionnaires received back from students. The nature of the study is cross sectional only one time data is collected from students. This study used the Smart PLS software for analyzing the relationship among variables such as transformational leadership, engineering education quality and teacher’s quality. The findings of the study reveals that transformational leadership and its factors such as idealized behavior, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individual attributes has significant and positive relationship with engineering education quality. It can be improved by providing best leadership characteristics like transformational leadership. The finding also reveals that teacher’s quality has significant and positive relationship with transformational leadership and engineering education quality.
