Leadership Behaviour of School Administrators in Public Schools: The Basic Dimensions of Initiating Structure and Consideration
Abstract
Leadership behaviour plays a great role for educational organizations to reach the success of their vision, mission and goals. The desired change in schools is almost always dependent on the leadership of school administrators whose leadership styles and behaviours like initiating structure and consideration. This study aimed to know the profile of the respondents; and the level of leadership behavior; the significant relationship between the profile of the school administrators and the level of leadership behavior; the significant difference among the assessment of the three groups of respondents on the level of leadership behavior. Descriptive-correlational survey methods and a questionnaire were utilized to gather the data. Findings revealed that the level of leadership behaviour was high. Moreover, the relationship between the profile and the differences in the assessment of community relations practices and the level of leadership behaviour were all found not significant.
