School-Based Management: A Literature Review of Its Implementation and Impact on School Organizational Effectiveness

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the general patterns underlying the success of school-based management (SBM) implementation, as well as to identify the main challenges that often arise in its implementation. Thus, this study can provide an important contribution in understanding the dynamics of SBM and its implications for efforts to improve the quality of school management and the effectiveness of educational organizations at the local level. This study presents a systematic review of school-based management literature through the collection, documentation, examination, and analysis of research publications. The results of the study show that SBM can improve the effectiveness of school organizations through decentralization of decision making, increased community participation, and increased accountability. However, the success of SBM is greatly influenced by contextual factors, such as resource support, principal managerial competence, and stakeholder involvement. While SBM is able to improve the quality of school management and organizational culture, its impact on student learning outcomes has not been consistent. In addition, the increasing bureaucratic burden and declining teacher morale are challenges that require attention in the implementation of SBM.
