Abstract

The higher education system in Malaysia has recently demonstrated rapid growth along with the rapid technological development, changing nature of business process, and the growth of new leadership in the education sector. The function of mood, motivation, and creativity (MMC) in the institutions of higher education (IHE) has initiated the need to strategize to enhance the effectiveness of leadership for improved organisational performance and productivity. The lack of effective leadership at IHE levels is evident, which potentially affects the employees’ organisational performance. In addressing the phenomenon, this quantitative study comprehensively assessed the authentic leadership style (ALS) and mood, motivation, and creativity (MMC) in the Malaysian higher education institutions using the questionnaire survey approach. This study utilised structural equation modelling using partial least squares (PLS-SEM), which revealed significant and positive relationships between ALS and MMC. Thus, this study concluded that the use of ALS improves the overall performance of the employees in the Malaysian IHE towards achieving the status of a developed country. (Abstract by Author)
