Unveiling The Journey: From Entrepreneurial Leadership to The Emergence of Entrepreneurial Culture in Malaysian Schools

Siti Sabihah  Ghazali; Steven Eric  Krauss; Suhaida Abdul Kadir

Entrepreneurial leadership within school administrations stands out as a notable aspect of contemporary educational systems. While there is a growing body of information on entrepreneurial leadership in schools, there remains a lack of specific insights into the practices of these entrepreneurial leaders within centralized school systems. Schools, traditionally regarded as non-profit organizations, are now witnessing a significant shift towards entrepreneurial leadership in their administrative structures. Despite past studies emphasizing the crucial role of school leaders in shaping school culture, there is a dearth of detailed discussion on the specific practices of centralized entrepreneurial school principals. This study aims to address this gap by examining how entrepreneurial leadership practices influence the cultural emergence of schools. To achieve the objectives of this study, two entrepreneurial school principals from different backgrounds and locations were selected. These principals were chosen based on their successful implementation of entrepreneurial practices as recognized by their followers and community members. A total of 18 respondents, including school principals, teachers, and stakeholders, were interviewed and assessed following the study's objectives. In conclusion, this study contributes to the educational literature by expanding our understanding of entrepreneurial culture within schools through the lens of leadership practices employed by school principals.
