Abstract
This study investigated the significance of situational leadership style in enhancing instructor self-efficacy, focusing on five universities in Shandong Province, China. Drawing on foundational theories by Albert Bandura, Paul Hersey, and Kenneth Blanchard, this research explored the complex relationships between leadership styles, instructor characteristics, situational contexts, and instructor self-efficacy. The study employed a mixed methods research design involving 443 instructors from diverse academic backgrounds. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire including demographic information, situational leadership style adapted and modified from Hersey and Blanchard’s model, instructor self-efficacy, competence, career planning, and peer support. The process involved obtaining approval and collaboration from university administrators while ensuring transparent communication with participants to secure voluntary engagement. This study confirms that situational leadership style has a significant positive impact on instructor self-efficacy. Instructor competence, peer support, and career planning are mediators in this relationship. The findings highlight the importance of combining external leadership strategies with internal capacity building to enhance instructor self-efficacy.
