Abstract
The leadership factor of a school is important in creating a conducive school climate to provide an effective learning environment. This study was conducted to identify the relationship between instructional leadership and school climate in Medium Performing Secondary Schools in the State of Kelantan. A total of 355 (L = 137, P = 218) respondents were involved in this study from 18 schools involved. Two (2) types of instruments were used to obtain research data, namely the Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale instrument by Hallinger and Murphy (1985) and the School-Level Environment Questionnaire (SLEQ) instrument by Johnson, Stevens, and Zvoch (2007). Both of these measuring instruments use a seven-point interval scale. The data were then analyzed using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) version 25 which involved Pearson correlation analysis. The findings of the study showed that there was a very strong positive relationship, and this value was significant (r = .90, p <.01) for the relationship between the instructional leadership of school administrators with the level of school climate. The findings of this study can be used by school leaders as a guide in evaluating the aspects of leadership that they have practiced over the years to form a positive school climate that can provide an effective learning environment. In addition, the findings of this study can also be a basic reference to improve various instructional leadership skills such as sharing vision, values, duties, and responsibilities of organizations that have a very strong relationship with school climate to create a conducive and effective school climate in improving school excellence.
