The purpose of this study was to investigate stakeholders' perceptions on the
leadership styles of head teachers in public and private secondary schools in
Tanzania, focusing on Kinondoni Municipality, Dar es salaam. Situational
Leadership Theory (SLT), advocated first by Hersey and Blanchard (1969) was
applied to guide the study. The study employed a cross-sectional survey design. The
study targeted 6 head teachers, 60 teachers, 12 school committee members, 48
students and a DEO. Data were collected through questionnaire, interview and focus
group discussions. The study revealed that the democratic leadership style is the most
used style in public schools while autocratic leadership style was mostly applied in
private schools. Also, in both private and public secondary schools, the leadership
styles used by head teachers were valued in improving teachers' teaching and
learning spirit, enhancing teachers' job satisfaction and giving chances to teachers to
participate in decision making. However, the levels of effectiveness deferred in
private and public schools. Many public school teachers seemed to be satisfied by
their heads‟ leadership style where the majority of heads of schools employed a
democratic leadership style, while in private schools, most of head teachers
employed an autocratic leadership style, which was not preferred by many teachers
in the schools. The main recommendation of this study was that, school
administrators should find out the best leadership styles by involving all education
stakeholders in the school in order to apply the most effective leadership style in the
management of the schools. In the same vein, a specialized management and
leadership training course should be designed for those aspiring to become head
teachers in secondary schools and also the current serving heads should undergo in-service
and refresher courses on the modern rudiments of leadership styles so as to
improve their leadership skills. |
