Teori Kepemimpinan Kontigensi dan Kontemporer

Abstract

This study examines contingency leadership theory and contemporary leadership in educational organizations. Contingency leadership theory emphasizes that leadership effectiveness depends on the leader's ability to adapt their leadership style to the situation, organizational conditions, and the characteristics of their subordinates. Meanwhile, contemporary leadership emphasizes innovation, collaboration, effective communication, and the ability to adapt to changing times and technology. In education, the application of these two theories can improve organizational effectiveness, teacher performance quality, and create a more innovative and conducive learning environment. However, their implementation still faces various challenges, such as limited leadership competency, resistance to change, and a lack of supporting resources. Therefore, educational leaders are required to possess adaptive, innovative, and professional skills to be able to face various dynamics and improve the quality of education sustainably.
