From control to collaboration
Entrepreneurial leadership in educational settings
Creating Sustainable and Thriving Teams
To improve their practices, teachers need to regularly develop and practice teaching innovations. Hence, this study examines such practices via the relations between entrepreneurial teachers and their entrepreneurial ecosystem, including schools’ formal structures and informal collegiality. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the survey responses of 734 teachers from 30 Hong Kong primary and secondary schools examined the structure of…
Navigating the terrain of educational entrepreneurship (EE)
The present review explores the contentious realm of educational entrepreneurship (EE), seeking to demystify its complex conceptualization and dissect the diverse ways its principles resonate across educational sectors. Our review employs bibliometric analysis, guided by the theoretical lens of professional capital, which encompasses human, social, and decisional capital, to map the intellectual contours of EE over the past four decades. Through …
From training to practice
Principals’ ethical leadership in the AI Era
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education has intensified questions about how principals exercise ethical leadership in the adoption and governance of emerging technologies. This article reports a systematic review of research published between 2018 and July 2025 at the intersection of school leadership, ethics, and AI. Using a PRISMA-informed search databases, 62 peer-reviewed studies were identified and synthesized. The ana…
Role models in policy learning
In Hong Kong’s higher education landscape, where traditional academic pathways prevail, recent reforms seek to address skills gaps and align vocational education with industry demands through the establishment of Universities of Applied Sciences (UASs). However, the adaptation of international UAS models to Hong Kong’s unique socio-economic context remains underexplored. While policy borrowing is widely discussed in the literature, there is a not…
Language as cultural influence on teachers’ identity blending and diversified teaching practice
Research has shown that when exposed to more language choices, those who incorporate additional home languages are more likely to be open to other cultures and cultural change. This paper examines the influence of home language on Hong Kong teachers’ openness to adopting blending strategies to reconcile cultural differences and how these interactions underpin their willingness to adopt diverse teaching methods. Structural equation modelling of 64…
Principal–teacher perceptual (in)congruence in instructional leadership, teacher collaboration, and organisational trust in Hong Kong schools
This study examines the joint impact of principals’ and teachers’ perceptions of instructional leadership on teacher collaboration. Using Programme for International Student Assessment 2022 data from Hong Kong, we employ polynomial regression with response surface methodology to understand how perceptual congruence and incongruence are associated with teachers’ collaborative practices. The findings reveal a U-shaped relationship for both congruen…
Cross-Sector internship insights
This study investigates the impact of cross-sector internships on vice-principals (VPs) in Hong Kong SAR, China, focusing on leadership development. Using the extreme team model, the program integrated VPs into various industries to learn from CEOs in business and NGOs. Qualitative methods, including questionnaires, reflective journals, video presentations, and interviews with 24 experienced VPs and eight CEOs, were employed. The findings reveale…
Middle leaders as catalysts for faux comprehension and pseudo-understanding
Case study of four Hong Kong schools using action-driven sensemaking framework. • On teachers' superficial compliance and misaligned goals masked by overconfidence. • Extends sensemaking theory through strategic compliance and cognitive bias. • Suggests improved guidelines and communication for better reform implementation. This study examines 'Faux Comprehension' and 'Pseudo-Understanding' among middle leaders and teachers in curriculum developm…
Entrepreneurial teacher leaders as reframers of pastoral care
Studies have shown that teacher leaders take the initiative to shape and exercise pastoral care practices to meet the rapid changes in student learning and well-being. The present study aims to examine and conceptualize the relationship between teacher entrepreneurial behaviour (TEB) and the renewal of pastoral care practices while accounting for any possible mediating effects of new technologies. We collected 446 responses to survey questions fr…
Demographics, social norms, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention
Purpose Framed by social cognition theory, this study examines the impact of environmental factors (e.g. social norms) on students’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ES) and entrepreneurial intention (EI). Design/methodology/approach We obtained responses to a survey from 811 senior secondary students in Hong Kong. We then employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the proposed hypothesis. We removed non-significant parameters in testing th…
Balancing act
This study examines the impact of Teacher Entrepreneurial Behavior (TEB) on teachers' emotions when launching new educational initiatives. Teachers (n = 303) from 10 schools in Hong Kong completed a longitudinal survey assessing TEB, teacher emotions, and duty overload at two-time points. Results indicate that TEB mediates the relationship between positive emotions and emotional climate among colleagues, while duty overload does not significantly…
Advertising a school’s merits in Hong Kong
Against the background of expanding parental choices and declining global birth rates, schools are experiencing rising competition regarding student enrolment. Schools have responded by strategically presenting information about their students’ academic achievement and whole-person development orientation in the hope of attracting parents’ interest. However, few studies have investigated the impact of these factors on student enrollment, particul…
Enhancing School Appeal
This study explores the mechanisms that underlie the effect of school marketing strategies on parents’ perceived school attractiveness, particularly emphasizing the mediating role of parents’ perceptions of being welcomed in urban schools. Additionally, we investigated how schools’ marketing strategies work differently among parents with different value orientations toward schooling. Structural Equation Modeling and Cluster Analysis Data were app…
Capturing interactions between middle leaders and teacher entrepreneurial behaviour
Limited but increasing research has noted that middle leaders (MLs) play a crucial role in structuring a supportive working environment to help entrepreneurial teachers transform educational innovation into practice. This study aims to increase understanding of the extent to which MLs with different levels of experience influence teacher entrepreneurial behaviour (TEB). The study employs the three dimensions of the ‘person-environment fit model,’…
