Abstract

This study examines research-driven leadership and management in South African TVET colleges, focusing on methodological insights and best practices. Challenges include governance inefficiencies, leadership gaps, and poor student outcomes. Findings reveal that evidence-based leadership enhances institutional effectiveness, governance, and student success. The study concludes that integrating qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods into leadership fosters adaptability, informed decision-making, and sustainable reforms. Recommendations include adopting data-driven leadership, enhancing professional development, and implementing participatory governance policies. Future research should explore leadership styles' long-term effects on student success, cross-regional comparisons, and digital leadership innovations in TVET education.
