    Effects of Head Teachers’ Leadership Styles on Learners’ Academic Performance: A Case of Selected Public Secondary Schools In Katete District, Eastern Province
    (2020) BANDA, Grace
    This study explored the impact of head teachers' leadership styles on learners' academic performance in selected public secondary schools in Katete District, Eastern Province. The research focused on the perceptions of leadership styles, learners' performance from 2014 to 2018, and the effects of leadership on academic outcomes. Using qualitative methods, including unstructured questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions, the study involved 95 participants. Findings showed that head teachers predominantly used autocratic and laissez-faire leadership styles, and academic performance was consistently poor. The study recommends adopting blended leadership styles, embracing transformational leadership, and investing in capacity-building for head teachers.
