| Summary: | The distributed leadership strategy considers organizational factors as well as team and group dynamics. In actuality, this strategy challenges the notion that one person should take the initiative to bring about change to sustain. Shared leadership, according to this theory’s proponents, is necessary since educational institutions are too complicated to be run by a single person. In organizations, a variety of people in various jobs are responsible for managing a variety of difficult activities. The recognition by organizational management of the idea that leadership responsibilities and positions should be shared leads to distributed leadership. The leaders of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions speak of a low degree of opposition to change but a significant level of anxiety regarding the funds and resources allocated. A quantitative method was used with a survey online questionnaire approach to identify the role of leaders in TVET institutions’ employed distributive leadership. There were 531 respondents among academic staff in TVET institutions who gave a response to this survey voluntarily. Four constructs consist of bounded empowerment, developing leadership, shared decision, and collective engagement as instruments for this study. The results show that the level of distributive leadership styles is high even though two constructs, which are bounded empowerment and collective engagement, have a medium-high interpretation of the mean score. The findings also demonstrate that there is a strong positive relationship among the constructs in distributive leadership. According to the survey, most leaders are aware of how distributed leadership is used in organizations; that is, they see distributed leadership as a shared kind of leadership in which everyone is given the chance to lead. According to the study’s findings, the majority of TVET institution leaders today use distributed leadership, which depends on the leadership’s willingness to hand over control and the staff’s level of enthusiasm to lead in the future. © 2024, Tech.
