Sustainable development is a process occurring on several levels, which placed the expectations on educational institutions, especially secondary schools, change radically. Schools, therefore, are gradually likely to emphasize enhanced and sustainable teaching practices under the agenda of the United Nations 2030, sustainable future. Hence, the job-oriented development of teachers is a critical factor of the school leadership mechanism. Considering this, the present empirical research was designed to study the mechanism of path-goal theory (PGT) to sustain teachers’ job-oriented development in private secondary schools in Pakistan. The viewpoint of teachers, whose job performance is ultimately affected by the school leadership behavior and who perform the job at the front line in schools, was taken on board for the investigation. A total of 2469 secondary school teachers from 785 private secondary schools participated in the present study. Confirmatory factor analysis, t-test, Pearson correlation, and path analysis structural equation modeling analytics were mainly involved in the data analysis. Overall, the findings substantiated the constructive PGT mechanism, especially indicating that directive leadership is the most influential and effective leadership behavior in complex tasks, including when teachers are inexperienced. Moreover, the helpful role of supportive leadership and achievement-oriented leadership behaviors backs up the directive behavior. Although participative leadership behavior was problematic in the studied schools, it should be constructively adopted, as it was found to be a statistically significant predictor. Therefore, training programs for school leaders with good experience in participatory leadership functions can be productive for long-term teachers’ motivation. The literature shows that several secondary school teachers still perform poorly because of inadequate leadership, and the viewpoint of teachers on PGT was ignored in earlier studies. Hence, there was a dire need to conduct this research to address these concerns, especially in the non-Western, Asian context. In addition to pioneering academic research on leadership PGT in the secondary school context, the PGT elements were investigated, including teachers’ extrinsic and intrinsic motivation for the first time, adding new understanding about the theory.

Encouragement of humanistic education through the lens of prosocial behavior of adolescents is a complex and extensive issue of the modern world. Prosocial behaviour can indirectly affect the achievement of pupils at school through its connection with some academically relevant forms of behaviour which lead to success at school and work. Also, this connection can be explained by the teacher’s preferences of prosocial pupils, which is reflected in the teacher’s expectations and behaviour towards pupils, as well as the evaluation of their work. Besides, prosocial behaviour can also directly affect pupils since the prosocial interaction of peers can have a positive effect on the intellectual exchanges between pupils, which contributes to a more successful learning process. Taking into consideration the significance and role of the school and teachers, as representatives of the educational process, in encouraging prosocial behaviour in the young at secondary schools, we face a problem: Do secondary school teachers encourage prosocial humanistic behaviour of the young, by what actions and activities are they guided in the process and how does that reflect on the behaviour of pupils? This study tried to give some answers related to this problem in the field of education.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of teachers who lack motivation and self-efficacy in carrying out their duties. This factor causes a significant decline in school performance and productivity. Therefore, by knowing the level of teacher motivation and the level of self-efficacy of teachers, then the recommendations required by the government to produce quality and high-performing teachers will be known more clearly. Thus, the issue of producing quality and high-performing teachers are used to answer research questions and fill the research spaces found in this study. This study aims to identify the relationship between motivation and self-efficacy of teachers in High-Performance Secondary Schools, Cluster Schools of Excellence, and also Ordinary Day Schools in the state of Penang. A quantitative approach was used in the data collection process of this study. The study instrument consisted of three parts; namely demographics, teacher motivation, and self-efficacy of secondary school teachers. The study sample consisted of 122 secondary school teachers in three schools in the state of Penang. Quantitative data were analyzed using various tests, namely the Independent T-Sample test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis using SPSS software. The findings of the study indicate that there are significant differences in teacher motivation based on teacher age category and teacher tenure. The findings of the study also showed that there were also significant differences in self-efficacy based on length of service. The correlation analysis test also showed that there was a significant relationship between teacher motivation and self-efficacy with a weak magnitude.
