| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to examme the leadership soft skills of deans in public universities of Malaysia. The conceptual framevvork of this study is based on the model of leadership soft skills (Crosbie, 2005), the concept of structural empowerment (Kanter, 1977) and the model of organizational trust (Mayer, Davis, and Schoorman, 1995). A total of 295 support staff grade 17-36 was selected as respondents through stratified sampling technique. Both methods of data collection, the quantitative and qualitative methods were utilized to ascertain detailed and in-depth data on how the deans perform their leadership soft skills were obtained. Findings indicated that deans implemented moderately all the eight components of leadership soft skills. Structural empowerment ยท and perceived trustworthiness were significantly related with all the eight components of leadership soft skills at .01 significant level. The most significant predictor for perceived trustworthiness was communication skills (p = .351 ). However, structural empowerment failed to function as a mediator between leadership soft skills and perceived trustworthiness. Qualitative findings which showed that all deans were able to communicate well evidently supported the quantitative findings. Finally, this study also provides recommendations and suggestions for future research. | en_US |
