The Role of Ai in Capacity Building of Principal for an Affective Institutional Management in Azad Jammu And Kashmir

Abstract

This paper explored how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used in improving the capacity building of principals in order to manage the institution effectively. The main aim was to elicit whether AI based leadership and management practices have a considerable impact on principals ability-building. The quantitative research methodology was embraced and a sample of 50 principals was gathered in the public and private secondary schools. The questionnaire with the dimensions of AI-supported leadership such as decision-making, strategic planning, resource management, professional development, communication, and operational management was structured to measure the dimensions of AI-supported leadership. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data to examine both effects together and separately on the capacity building of principals due to AI-related practices. The findings showed that there was a high statistically significant correlation between Artificial Intelligence and the capacity building of the principals where the regression analysis displayed high explanatory power. A number of AI-powered functions, in particular, leadership effectiveness, strategic planning, evidence-based decision-making, and professional development became notable predictors of capacity building. The results show that Artificial Intelligence improves the leadership potential of principals via a multidimensional construct of practices, which can lead to the management of institutions in a better way. The paper arrives at the conclusion that the application of AI in the school leadership activities can reinforce strategic and operational leadership and empirically underlies AI-based leadership development and policy efforts in education.
