Effects of Head Teaches' Task-Oriented Behavior on Teachers’ Performance at Secondary Level Lahore

Abstract

    This study aimed to illuminate the effects of head teachers' task-oriented leadership style on secondary grade teachers' performance. The head teachers and teachers of the secondary level of Lahore City constituted the population of the study. From this population, 300 teachers and students were selected as samples by stratified random sampling technique. Data was collected by using survey questionnaires. Two self-made questionnaires were developed and used to collect data from teachers and students. Participants were asked to respond to a 5-point Likert scale ranging from '1' indicating strongly disagree and '5' indicating strongly agree in terms of how strongly the head teachers practised task-oriented behaviour. Collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics that include mean, percentage, and independent sample t-test and regression analysis. The main finding of the study revealed that head teachers' task-oriented behaviour has a positive effect on teachers' performance at the secondary level.
