This quantitative study investigated democratic school leadership and self-efficacy of teaching and non-teaching personnel in a selected university in China. In this study, democratic school leadership was assessed as a construct of holistic meaning, transforming dialogue, power sharing, and holistic well-being. On the other hand, self-efficacy was treated as a composite of occupational self-efficacy, social self-efficacy and emotional self-efficacy. The study revealed that democratic school leadership is at a moderate level. It also showed that the self-efficacy of the teaching and non-teaching personnel is also at a moderate level. The study also determined whether there was a significant difference in the assessments of democratic school leadership and self-efficacy between the teaching and non-teaching personnel. Correlational test between democratic leadership and self-efficacy was also done. As output of the study, a management framework anchored on democratic leadership was developed.
