The Exercise Power, School Administrators, Success of Educational Institution, GuidelinesAbstract
The purpose of this study is to present the approaches to the use of power by supervisors that promote the success of educational institutions by analyzing documents and research in both domestic and international contexts. It was found that school administrators play an important role in managing schools to be of quality, efficient, and sustainable, and to achieve objectives according to the vision, mission, and strategies of the school, through cooperation and responsibility of teachers and personnel within the school. In addition, the use of executive power has an effect on the administration within the educational institution, consisting of 5 aspects as follows: (1) the use of legal power (Legitimate Power), (2) the use of reward power (Reward Power), (3) the use of coercive power (Coercive Power), (4) the use of expert power (Expert Power) and (5) the use of referent power that leads to success in effective administration. In addition, the goal of successful administration of educational institutions is that learners have characteristics and learning skills in the 21st century and that education is organized with quality and standards.
