Abstract :Educational institutions are dynamic environments that require effective leadership to ensure optimal functioning and student success. This study aims to explore and evaluate various educational leadership theories using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a multi-criteria decision-making technique. By conducting expert interviews, this research identifies the key criteria that educational leaders consider vital for successful school management. The AHP methodology is employed to assign weights to these criteria and rank different educational leadership theories based on their alignment with these criteria. This study not only contributes to the selection of suitable leadership theories for educational settings but also showcases the practical applicability of AHP in educational research. The findings offer valuable insights for educational practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance leadership effectiveness and organizational outcomes in educational institutions.
