N2  - The School Improvement Programme (SIP) is the central core strategy that the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOEM) employs in fulfilling its educational mission. The purpose of this study is to examine the status of the strategic leadership styles of NPS heads that involved in the SIP. The study selected 150 (out of 350) schools involved in MOEM's SIP. Approximately 600 senior management team teachers were required to complete the 10-page survey questionnaire, which consists of 52 seven-point Likert scale items. The collection centre received 135 envelopes containing 420 completed survey questionnaires from the sampled schools towards the end of May 2007. The data screening process omitted 14 out of 420 cases prior to data analyses. The employment of a full fledge Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), AMOS 7.0 and SPSS statistical application would be used to confirm the dimensionality and the psychometric properties of the scales respectively. The study confirmed that NPS heads possess 7 out of 10 required strategic leadership style dimensions. Finally, the study also confirmed the presence of strong relationship between the strategic leadership styles of NPS heads in the SIP. The findings from the study provide useful and pertinent information to senior management team teachers, the NPS heads and especially to MOEM as stakeholders. First, it will enable the senior management team members to reflect on themselves and thus try to shift their paradigm. Secondly, the NPS heads may be able to apply and practice their effective strategic leadership styles especially in synergizing the human resources they possess for the success of the NPS concerned. The findings of the study are also relevant to the MOEM's third core strategy, which is central to the Educational Development Master Plan (2006-2010).
