Abstract
This study explores the influence of leadership behaviors on leadership transformation in high schools and higher education, emphasizing the need for effective preparation of future leaders. The issue arises from a lack of focus on leadership development in educational settings, which is critical for enhancing educator performance and organizational commitment. A quantitative survey approach was employed, involving 351 students from universities and high schools. Data collection was conducted via questionnaires, and descriptive statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Version 25.0, with standardized hierarchical regression analysis applied to test relationships. The findings reveal that transformational leadership behaviors significantly and positively influence job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and teacher performance. Leaders' individual attention to team members was identified as a key factor in improving leadership effectiveness. The study highlights the critical role of structured, evidence-based leadership development in fostering a positive organizational culture within educational institutions. Leadership behaviors that focus on communication and conflict management were found to be instrumental in achieving these outcomes. Educational institutions should prioritize leadership training programs to prepare effective leaders and enhance institutional performance. Future research should incorporate qualitative methods to provide a deeper understanding of leadership dynamics across high schools and higher education contexts.
