Description
Summary:<p>The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of teacher transformational</p><p>leadership style on student satisfaction, mediated through teacher effectiveness and</p><p>school climate in selected Chinese universities. The aims of this study include</p><p>examining the relationship between teacher transformational leadership style and</p><p>student satisfaction, determining the mediating role of teacher effectiveness and school</p><p>climate, and exploring the potential moderating effects of demographic variables. This</p><p>study utilized a quantitative research method, with a cross-sectional survey design to</p><p>collect data to answer the research questions and hypotheses developed. The data was</p><p>collected through three sets of questionnaires from 260 teachers selected through the</p><p>stratified random sampling from the selected Chinese universities and was analysed</p><p>using the Simple Linear Regression and Sobel-test, hence answering the seven research</p><p>questions and hypotheses. The findings revealed that teacher transformational</p><p>leadership style had a positive and significant effect on teacher effectiveness, school</p><p>climate, and student satisfaction. Moreover, teacher effectiveness and school climate</p><p>were discovered to mediate the relationship between teacher transformational</p><p>leadership style and student satisfaction. This study provides insights into the</p><p>importance of teacher transformational leadership in promoting student satisfaction in</p><p>Chinese universities. The findings suggest that teacher effectiveness and school climate</p><p>are key mechanisms through which teacher transformational leadership impacts student</p><p>satisfaction, thus acted as mediators between teacher transformational leadership and</p><p>student satisfaction. This study has significant implications for both theory and practice.</p><p>From a theoretical perspective, it advances understanding of the complex nature of</p><p>teacher leadership and its impact on student outcomes. Further, the findings provide</p><p>empirical evidence that supports the relevance of transformational leadership in higher</p><p>education. In terms of practical implications, the study highlights the importance of</p><p>investing in teacher professional development to enhance their leadership capabilities.</p><p>Additionally, universities should prioritize creating a positive school climate to foster</p><p>student satisfaction.</p>
