The Effects of Transformational Leadership, Organizational Culture, and Readiness for Change on Teacher Performance Through Innovative Work Behavior

Teacher performance is an important factor in improving the quality of education, particularly amid increasingly dynamic demands for change and innovation. Although transformational leadership, organisational culture, and readiness to change have been widely studied as determinants of teacher performance, the findings of previous research remain inconsistent. Furthermore, research that positions innovative work behaviour as a mediating mechanism in explaining the relationship between these factors and teacher performance is still relatively limited, especially in the context of private schools operating under educational foundations. This study therefore aims to examine the influence of transformational leadership, organisational culture, and readiness to change on teacher performance, with innovative work behaviour as a mediating variable. The novelty of this research lies in its examination of innovative work behaviour as a mechanism through which leadership, organisational, and individual readiness factors influence teacher performance in the context of private schools. This study employs a quantitative approach with a survey method involving 131 teachers from six senior high schools under the auspices of the Prayoga Riau Foundation. Data were analysed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with a bootstrapping technique of 5,000 resamples. The results show that transformational leadership does not have a significant effect on innovative work behaviour or teacher performance. Organisational culture and readiness to change, by contrast, have a positive and significant effect on innovative work behaviour, while organisational culture also has a direct effect on teacher performance. Innovative work behaviour is proven to have a positive effect on teacher performance and mediates the influence of both organisational culture and readiness to change on teacher performance. These findings indicate that improving teacher performance is more effectively achieved through strengthening an organisational culture that supports innovation and increasing readiness to face change, thereby fostering the development of innovative work behaviours. The practical implications of this study highlight the importance of developing school policies oriented toward innovation, collaboration, and adaptability as a strategy for improving teacher performance.

This study aims to analyse the influence of perceived quality, price fairness, and brand image on the repurchase intention of imported dairy products from France, with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable, among consumers in the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek). This study employs a quantitative approach using Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) with AMOS version 31.0. The study population consists of consumers who have purchased and consumed French imported dairy products, including UHT milk, cheese, yoghurt, butter, cooking cream, and whipping cream. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a sample of 385 respondents. The findings reveal that perceived quality, price fairness, and brand image positively influence both customer satisfaction and repurchase intention. Customer satisfaction has also been demonstrated to mediate the relationship between perceived quality, price fairness, and brand image on the one hand and repurchase intention on the other. The perceived quality variable is the most dominant factor in increasing customer satisfaction and repurchase intention. These findings strengthen the applicability of the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S-O-R) theory and Expectancy Disconfirmation Theory (EDT) in explaining consumer behaviour in the premium imported dairy product segment. This study contributes to the consumer behaviour literature while offering practical insights for companies and importers in developing effective marketing strategies to enhance repurchase intention and strengthen customer loyalty towards French imported dairy products. The managerial implications suggest that companies should prioritise customer satisfaction through consistent product quality, effective communication of price value, and the development of a trustworthy and credible brand image. Marketing strategies should focus on enhancing consumption experiences, educating consumers about product quality, providing transparent product information, and managing premium brand positioning rather than relying primarily on price discount programmes.
