This study measures the impact of transformational leadership and entrepreneurial orientation on the performance of academic leaders, in order to determine the degree of mediation of entrepreneurial orientation between transformational leadership and performance. Correlational research design has been used to study the relationship between multiple variables. The approach is cross-sectional quantitative research using the questionnaire method with ordinal 5-point Likert scale instruments to obtain the data. The sample consists of 81 respondence received from the Google Form sent out to private Higher Learnings Institutions, with achieved power (1-β err prob) within the acceptable range of more than 0.80. All three constructs have passed the reliability test with Cronbach's Alpha score more than 0.80. Simple regressions analysis was used to examine the impact of transformational leadership on performance, the impact of entrepreneurial orientation on performance, and the mediation effects of entrepreneurial orientation. The findings agreed with previous studies that transformational leadership and entrepreneurial orientation have significant positive impact on performance. In addition, the results showed no signification mediation effect of Entrepreneurial Orientation, similar to partial mediation effect found in previous studies. Therefore, our public and private sectors should join together to support higher education business with more contribution and resources on training of effective leadership style and entrepreneurial practice for the potential increased performance.
This study aimed to determine the level of transformational leadership practices by PHEIs CEO’s in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. The four dimensions of transformational leadership studied were individual consideration, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation and idealized influence. The study also looks at the level of lecturers’ job satisfaction as well as the relationship with the practice of transformational leadership style by the CEOs. The respondents consisted of 465 lecturers employed in 15 PHEIs in the Klang Valley district, Selangor. The data obtained was analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Descriptive analysis and Pearson Correlation Coefficient were used to analyze the strength of the relationship. The results provided an extent of support to the main hypothesis; CEOs that practiced transformational leadership do have an impact on the job satisfaction of lecturers. Main implications are discussed and directions for future research are also provided.

The aim of this study is to discover the relationship between different leadership styles and alternative entrepreneurial strategies in the not-for-profit public school system. We develop a conceptual framework for understanding various strategies of corporate entrepreneurship. Accordingly, we hypothesize that transformational leadership can promote a ‘‘vigorous entrepreneurial strategy’’ that encourages radical change, whereas monitoring leadership can only promote limited change by means of an incremental ‘‘calculated entrepreneurial strategy.’’ Passive-avoidant leadership restricts organizational entrepreneurship to the boundaries of existing constraints, mainly using a ‘‘conservative strategy.’’ These relationships were tested using a sample of 1,395 teachers working under 140 elementary school principals. The results partially support the expected relationships. It was found that although transformational leadership provides the most accommodating managerial background for radical entrepreneurship, the relationship is complex. We discuss the implications of these findings for both theory and practice.

Over the last quarter of the 20th century, higher education institutions (HEIs) were affected by social and economic policy changes. These changes encouraged HEIs to adopt entrepreneurial behaviour and act as a business. This paper is a review, critique, and discussion of literature on the new shape of higher education institutions and the need for transformational leadership in entrepreneurial universities. This review shows that academic leaders are needed to build and maintain the competitiveness of their institutions to succeed in the international education market. It also shows that there is a need for transformational leaders who are able to craft and implement the desired plans and have the vision to make HEIs more efficient while maintaining the core values of academia.
This study investigates the connections between managerial competency and performance of university leaders.
