Exploring Charismatic Leadership as a Strategy forImproving Teacher Performance: A SystematicLiterature Review

Ringkasan Penelitian

ABSTRACT:
This study aims to examine the role of charismatic leadership as an
effective strategy in improving teacher performance through a
systematic review of the latest literature. Charismatic leadership has
long been considered a potential strategy for improving teacher
performance in educational contexts. This study aims to
systematically review the literature on charismatic leadership using a
Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to identify its
antecedents, implications, and limitations. The results of the review
indicate that certain personality traits, such as agreeableness,
persistence, and cognitive ability, are consistent predictors of
idealized influence, while extroversion is more dominant in
influencing inspirational motivation. Empirical evidence also
supports that charismatic leadership can increase teachers' extra-role
behaviors (OCB), improve task performance, and positively impact
performance outcomes at both the group and educational
organization levels. These findings confirm the important role of
charismatic leadership in professional and service contexts in
education, and its implications for leadership selection and training
practices. However, the results also reveal significant limitations,
including heterogeneity in definitions and measurement instruments,
the predominance of cross-sectional research designs with self-
reports, and the lack of a multilevel approach to analysis. Therefore,
further research is needed to adopt longitudinal, experimental, and
multilevel designs to achieve a more comprehensive, valid, and
applicable understanding of the role of charismatic leadership in
education. The results of this study provide a theoretical and practical
basis for leadership development and the design of training programs
for teachers.
