Enhancing Educational Outcomes through Educative Leadership: A Case Study of GDUFS

Abstract

This paper explores the concept of educative leadership and its impact on enhancing educational outcomes in international higher education. Drawing on theoretical frameworks of stewardship, cultural development, moral literacy, and emotional well-being, the study examines how educative leadership is practiced at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies (GDUFS). Using a case study approach, the paper analyzes the influence of leadership strategies on cultural inclusivity, moral values, and emotional resilience among teachers and students. Findings highlight both strengths and challenges in fostering a supportive learning environment, emphasizing the importance of intercultural competence, ethical decision-making, and emotional support systems. The study concludes that effective educative leadership not only improves academic performance but also cultivates holistic growth, preparing students and educators to navigate global complexities.
