Abstract

Academician leadership comprises balancing decision-making and power dynamics within higher learning institutions. Academicians must navigate between educational decision-making and managerial approaches to meet performance appraisal. This role has evolved to include strategic actions and accountability, often requiring professional managers without traditional academic backgrounds. In higher learning institutions, the academician can be a symbol of power to the students. Academicians can use their power to instruct their students to accomplish their tasks to achieve their goals during their study in higher learning institution. However, they must also be mindful of the potential negative effects of power, such as reduced empathy and increased selfishness, and strive to uphold virtues like empathy and generosity. The main objective of this study was to identify the relationship between academician leadership power towards student performance and the mediating effect of emotional intelligence between academician leadership power and student performance. The population for this study was 650 students from Diploma in Office Management and Technology, UiTM Cadangan Terengganu and the sample size was 70 students based on the G-Power. The questionnaires have been distributed online by using a simple random sampling technique. The respondent for this study is diploma students in Office Management and Technology from semester 2 until semester five. However, only 224 have completed and returned the questionnaires, and the data is analyzed using SPSS 28.0 and PLS 4.0. There are five dimensions under the academician leadership power. Seven hypotheses were constructed for this study where five were supported and two were rejected including the legitimate power. Thus, emotional intelligence as a mediator between academician leadership power and student performance was supported the hypothesis. It is suggested to future research to use the new variable of psychopathology of power with its dimension and the affect of this new leadership power to the student performance.
