Abstract
This study strives to explore a Private Schools’ System (PSS) leadership beliefs and practices in foregrounding human resource development in the fields of
professional development and performance management throughout the work of school
at its substantive six dimensions: the human, the professional, the organizational, the
political, the moral and the managerial dimensions. The study begins by providing a
multi-disciplinary review of school leadership and human resource development, which
at its core is based on a theoretical and conceptual framework for understanding how
school leadership can help organizations accomplish their goals. Using a particularistic
case study design incorporating a mixed method approach (QUAL-QUAN model), the
paper aims to provide a detailed description of the beliefs and practices of leadership
personnel in selected PSS schools in respect to the composition and developmental dynamism of the human resources available to them. Specific dimensions of the study
include the teaching staff, the organizational setting, the political and moral aspects of
vision and practice; and the managerial components of leading human resource development in the schools.
The work of school leadership in developing human resource in education is a complex and multifaceted task that involves professional, political, organizational, moral
and technical dimensions. It is anticipated that the outcomes of the research will help
school leadership in achieving the heightened expectations of schools in different dimensions, exploring ways in which school leadership can strengthen teacher recruitment, development, performance management and retention and identify ways in which school
leaders can lift human resource development in an effective manner.
