Abstract

This article explores school leadership through the lens of Victor Vroom's expectancy theory, contextualized within the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). It examines how Vroom's insights on motivation and decision-making can be applied to educational leadership in an era of rapid technological change. The analysis focuses on four key themes: the relevance of Vroom's theory to 4IR education, adapting leadership styles for technology-enhanced learning, motivating educators in a digital landscape, and collaborative decision-making in tech-driven schools. By synthesizing Vroom's principles with the demands of 4IR, this article aims to provide school leaders with a framework for effective leadership in the modern educational environment
