Abstract

The study presented in this article was aimed at investigating how entrepreneurial leadership can build the commitment and loyalty of stakeholders to technology and vocational education (TVE) organisations. A phenomenological qualitative approach was adopted to carry out the research. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. The key research informants included five directors; deputy heads of study programmes; parents and school committees. All data collected were validated through a triangulation technique. The results of data analysis showed that the application of entrepreneurial leadership significantly increased the commitment and loyalty of stakeholders to the vocational education organisation, with the educational institutions noted for excellence. © 2017 WIETE.
