Abstract
This research aimed to 1) study the level of influence of integrated leadership on quality schools and 2) check the fitness of the structural equation model for modeling integrated leadership and its effect on quality schools using empirical data. Descriptive research was the research methodology utilized. The sample of this research included 300 teachers and school administrators selected by multistage random sampling and following parameter amounts of 15:1. The tool of this research was a 5-rating scale questionnaire. This research had two latent variables and five observable variables. The research instrument reliability was 0.943.
After data from the research were analyzed, it was found that:
- Integrated leadership levels were high on average with the highest level factor being integrated vision and the lowest factors being teamwork and aiming for goals.
- The quality school levels were high on average with the highest level factor being integrated vision and the lowest level factors being teamwork and aiming for goals
- The structural equation model for the effect of integrated leadership on quality schools showed a direct influence with empirical data 0.781, 61.10 percentage and R2 = 0.611.
- The structural equation model for the effect of integrated leadership on quality schools had the empirical data of = 31.525, df = 25, / df = 1.261, P-value = 0.1722, RMSEA = 0.029, SRMR = 0.025, CFI =0.997, TLI = 0.995
