The Impact of Leadership Styles in Junior Secondary Schools in The Western Area Rural District, Sierra Leone.

Abstract

Abstract This study was about the impact of leadership styles in junior secondary schools in the western area rural district of Sierra Leone. The study was led by three research objectives which were to; assess the Leadership Styles of School Administrators. Examine the Working Relationship between Teachers and School Administrators. Determine the Impact of Leadership Styles on School Administrators The research involved five schools, 35 teachers, and 15 principals, selected through simple random sampling. Data collection was done through questionnaires and interviews. The findings revealed that leadership styles in these schools face challenges such as poor working conditions and low remuneration, leading to poor results and high teacher turnover. Teachers also expressed dissatisfaction with the leadership of their unions, who do little to negotiate with the government to improve working conditions. A large proportion of teachers reported that situational leadership style is mostly used by school administrators, and there is a good working relationship with school administrators. Most teachers are motivated by the leadership styles of their school administrators. The researcher recommends that the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education and the Council of Principals of FSecondary Schools organize in-service training for school administrators to increase teacher commitment. Additionally, school administrators should work to improve the effectiveness of their leadership styles, as not all teachers are satisfied with their leadership styles. Keywords: Impact, Leadership Styles, Junior Secondary Schools, Western Area Rural District, Sierra Leone
