The impact of leadership style, motivation, competence, and educational process on the quality of education based on structural equation modeling approach with t-test and critical ratio variables

Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of leadership style, competence, motivation and educational process on the quality of education both partially and simultaneously. This study uses the  quantitative method of causality that influences each other with the analysis tool used SEM. The number of populations in this study was 603 respondents, with sampling using a sample size calculator totaling 235 respondents with a confidence level value of 95% and a margin of error of 5%. The sampling method is based on stratified random sampling proportionally. The results of the study showed that there was no significant influence of leadership style on the quality of education.  There was no influence of motivation on improving the quality of education. While simultaneously, leadership style, motivation, competence and the education process did not affect the quality of education. Thus, among the 4 independent variables, only the education process variable affected the quality of education. For the lecturer competency variable, there was no influence on improving the quality of education.  However, for the education process variable, there was a significant influence on improving the quality of education. The study's insightful findings would enhance educational standards.
