This study aims to examine the effects of implementation quality and educator support on policy effectiveness, as well as to assess the moderating role of educator support. This study employs a quantitative approach with a case study design conducted at an educational institution with a large-scale program implementation. Data were collected through a structured survey of 300 students and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The analysis includes tests of direct effects, moderation effects, and the explanatory and predictive power of the model. The results indicate that both implementation quality and educator support have positive and significant direct effects on policy effectiveness. However, educator support does not function as a moderating variable, suggesting that these two factors operate independently as parallel determinants. These findings highlight that policy effectiveness at the school level is shaped not only by the technical aspects of implementation but also by the active role of frontline actors in practice. This study contributes to the literature on micro-level policy implementation and offers practical implications for strengthening coordination and implementation systems in school-based nutrition policies.
