This study examined the relationship between leadership styles demonstrated by
school heads and students‟ academic achievement in community-based secondary
schools in Tanzania. The objectives of this study were: (1) To explore dominant
leadership style demonstrated by school heads in community-based secondary
schools in Tanzania.(2) To examine students‟ difference in academic achievement in
relation to leadership styles demonstrated by school heads in community-based
secondary schools.
The study involved 1809 participants who were randomly and purposively selected.
The study used structured questionnaires for data collection where by Pearson
Moment Correlation Coefficient (r) was used for data analysis. The study revealed
that democratic was the dominant leadership style demonstrated by school heads in
community-based secondary schools. However, the findings showed that there were
positive but insignificant and very weak correlations (r = .11, p< .56 and r = .05, p<
.81) between Autocratic leadership style and school‟s performance in grades A and C
respectively. Likewise, there were negative but insignificant and very weak
correlations(r = -.05, p<.78 and r = -.08, p<.66) between autocratic leadership style
and school‟s performance in grades B and D respectively. Furthermore, there were
negative insignificant but very weak correlations (r = -.06, p< .78 and r = -.11, p<
.66) between laissez-fair leadership style and school‟s performance in grades A and D
respectively. On the other hand, there were very weak insignificant positive
correlations(r= .00,p<99 and r =.02,p<90)between laissez-fair leadership style and
school‟s performance in grades B and C respectively. Similarly while there were positive
but insignificant and very weak correlations (r =.17, p<.38 and r =.08, p>.05) between
democratic leadership style and school‟s performance in grades A and B respectively;
there were negative but insignificant and very weak correlations (r = -.06, p< .83 and r =
-.11, p>.05) between democratic leadership style and school‟s performance in grades C
and D respectively.
Based on the findings, it was recommended that teachers should encourage students
remember modeled behaviors by encouraging them to use various learning strategies
and methods. For further research, to be studied using different sample, methodology
and different area of study. |
