Abstract
Kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti tahap kepimpinan beretika, tingkah laku kewarganegaraan organisasi dan pengupayaan guru, dan pengurusan disiplin guru sekolah rendah di negeri Sabah. Reka bentuk kajian ini berbentuk tinjauan kuantitatif menggunakan soal selidik yang diadaptasi daripada instrumen sedia ada merangkumi empat konstruk utama iaitu kepimpinan beretika, tingkah laku kewarganegaraan organisasi dan pengurusan disiplin serta diubah suai mengikut konteks tempatan. Seramai 65 orang guru sekolah rendah di Sabah yang dipilih melalui persampelan rawak mudah dipilih sebagai responden kajian rintis. Hasil deskriptif menunjukkan skor min bagi konstruk keempat-empat konstruk berada pada tahap yang tinggi. Nilai min ini menandakan bahawa kepimpinan beretika, tingkah laku kewarganegaraan organisasi, pengupayaan guru dan pengurusan disiplin berada pada keadaan yang positif dalam konteks sekolah rendah di Sabah. Dapatan ini menunjukkan bahawa guru di sekolah rendah di Sabah mengamalkan kepimpinan beretika memainkan peranan penting dalam mencorak budaya organisasi sekolah melalui amalan keadilan, teladan moral, serta komunikasi nilai secara berterusan. Guru mempamerkan tingkah laku kewarganegaraan organisasi menyumbang kepada peningkatan kebertanggungjawaban bersama dalam menangani isu disiplin. Guru yang diupayakan berasa dipercayai dan diberi kuasa dalam membuat keputusan profesional serta melaksanakan pengurusan disiplin dengan baik, walaupun masih terdapat ruang untuk penambahbaikan. Hasil kajian ini dijangka dapat menyumbang kepada pembangunan model pengurusan disiplin berasaskan etika, kolaboratif dan pemberdayaan, sekali gus memperkukuh kecekapan guru dan keberkesanan kepimpinan sekolah dalam mengurus cabaran pengurusan disiplin secara holistik di sekolah rendah di Sabah.
