        abstract = {The purpose of the study was twofold: a) to examine the causal relationship
of principal change leadership competencies (PCLC) and teacher change
beliefs (TCB); b) to investigate the moderating effects of demographic factors
on the above relationship. PCLC was operationalised using Principal Change
Leadership Competencies Scale while TCB was measured using Teacher Change
Beliefs Scale. A total of 936 teachers from 47 High Performing Secondary School
in Malaysia completed the survey. Structural equation modelling was applied
to test the models whereas invariance analysis was conducted to examine the
demographic moderators. The result demonstrated that PCLC was significantly
related to TCB (.81). In other words, in any school change, PCLC operates as a
significant predictor for TCB. As changes in TCB are greatly influenced by PCLC,
with TCB being the critical factor which leads teachers to embrace change, school
principals need to competently strengthen teacher self-influences through the
mechanism of personal agency ? the belief system. Besides, the results of the study
also revealed that the moderating effects of gender, age, year of experience and
location of school were statistically significant. Hence, the above demographic
factors should take into consideration in the causal relationship of PCLC and
TCB in any school change.},
