“…The measures of leadership capabilities, competencies, and performance Ghasemy, Hussin, Megat Daud, Ghavifekr, & Kenayathulla, 2016;Ghasemy, Hussin, Megat Daud, & Md Nor, 2015;Ghasemy, Hussin, Zabidi Abul Razak, Maah, & Megat Daud, 2016) developed in the context of Malaysian HE were used to collect data for this quantitative study. It is noticeable that except for the change-oriented capability scale, other scales had been developed on the grounds of ALTC study instrument.…”

The study was undertaken to identify the essential leadership capabilities and managerial competencies as the key leadership performance drivers in Malaysian focused universities. To collect data, the previously developed scales of capabilities, competencies, and leadership performance in the context of Malaysian Higher Education (HE) were distributed among the leaders in seven public focused and 12 private focused universities. In total, 172 completed surveys were collected among which 94 had been filled out by the leaders in Malaysian public focused and 78 had been completed by leaders in private focused universities. The data were screened and SmartPLS 3 was employed to analyze the data. Also, Finite Mixture Partial Least Squares (FIMIX-PLS) segmentation and Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA) were run to extend the results. The outcome of FIMIX-PLS didn't reveal unobserved heterogeneity within the data and, through IPMA, change-oriented capability was identified as the main improvement area to be addressed by management activities. Moreover, the implications of the findings were discussed and future directions were recommended.Keywords leadership capability and managerial competency, leadership performance, FIMIX-PLS, IPMA, Malaysian public and private focused universities

“…It also extended the literature of change-oriented leadership in the context of HE, as suggested in earlier leadership studies such as Ekvall and Arvonen (1991) and Yukl (2004). As a matter of fact, change-oriented capability in academic settings Ghasemy Hussin, and Megat Daud (2015) was added to the Academic Leadership Capability Framework. Also, using advanced statistical procedures available in second generation quantitative analytic tools (Hair et al 2014), two models for the contribution of leadership capabilities and managerial competencies to leadership performance in entire Malaysian HE system were developed.…”

This study was undertaken to determine the extent to which leadership capabilities and managerial competencies explain leadership performance in Malaysian Higher Education context. Data were collected from academic leaders in 25 public and private universities and colleges using a few previously developed scales in Malaysian context. Next, the collected data through 368 surveys were screened thoroughly prior to the main analysis. A variance-based structural equation modeling approach was adopted and SmartPLS 3 was used to analyze the data, followed by running finite mixture segmentation and importance-performance map analysis. The results did disclose unobserved heterogeneity within the data. Through the study, two models namely low-current-tenure leaders and high-current-tenure leaders models were developed. Moreover, role-specific competency and change-oriented capability were identified as the major areas of improvement to be addressed by managerial activities based on low-current-tenure leaders and high-current-tenure leaders models, respectively.

“…The necessary permission to use this scale was obtained prior to starting the data collection procedure. Furthermore, the administration of this measurement scale in the current study's piloting phase (Ghasemy et al 2016b) revealed a considerable level of reliability in the Malaysian academic context as displayed in Table 1. We measured the competency construct as a higher order construct, with learning and teaching, self-organization skills, and university operations being the lower order constructs.…”
