| Summary: | This study was aimed to develop an empirically substantiated Language Subject Leader Servant Leadership Attributes (SLSLA) Model. The study also aspired to test the model of Malay Language Subject Panel Head Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (SPHOCB) and Teacher Commitment (TEACOM). Meanwhile, it also aimed to identify whether SLSLA is significantly related to SPHOCB and whether the SPHOCB is significantly related to TEACOM. Ultimately, this study aimed to ascertain whether SPHOCB significantly mediate the relationship between SLSLA and TEACOM. Quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modelling using AMOS Version 21 was applied to test the models. A total of 820 Malay Language teachers from 198 National Secondary Schools completed the questionnaire. Exploratory Factor Analysis yielded a five-factor SLSLA Model which consists the dimensions of a) Self- Competence; b) Shares Leadership; c) Accountability; d) Teacher Capacity Building; and e) Stewardship. The findings of Confirmatory Factor Analysis demonstrated good fit statistics: normed ?2 =3.631, GFI= .935, CFI= .958, TLI= .952, RMSEA= .057 with adequate convergent and discriminant validity, and construct reliability. The model of SPHOCB (normed ?2 =4.484, GFI= .954, CFI= .970, TLI= .962, RMSEA= .065) and TEACOM (normed ?2 =3.663, GFI= .977, CFI= .982, TLI= .973, RMSEA= .057) also demonstrated good fit statistics. The study showed that a) SLSLA is significantly related to SPHOCB (=.71; p <0.05); b) SPHOCB is significantly related to TEACOM (=.57; p <0.05); and c) SPHOCB partially mediated the relationship between SLSLA and TEACOM. In conclusion, the SLSLA Model would benefit educational practitioners in designing development programs for subject leaders. The implication of the study was that it had facilitated a fresh look about servant leadership in middle- management context, dimensionality of organisational citizenship behaviour, teacher commitment, and the inter-relationships among these three constructs. |
