Ethical Leadership and Teachers’ Job Performance at Secondary Level

Abstract

The study's primary focus was on secondary school teachers' job performance and Ethical leadership. The study's objectives  were to I )compare secondary school teachers' ethical leadership styles according to demographic factors such gender, location, title, and district; and (ii) ascertain the association between ethical leadership and teachers' work performance at the secondary school level. The researcher created and put to the test five hypotheses using inferential statistics in order to meet these goals. The survey's cross-sectional design was used by the researcher. Using a simple random sample technique, data were gathered from 680 male and female secondary school teachers (SSTs) working at all the public sector secondary schools in four districts of the Dera Ghazi Khan Division. Self-administered questionnaire, the results were gathered. A 38-item scale for measuring ethical leadership was created and verified by Kalshoven et al. (2011), while a 25-item scale for measuring teachers' job performance was created by Goodman & Svyantek (1999). With the help of SPSS version 26, data were analysed. According to the research, there is less significant difference in secondary school teachers' ethical leadership behaviors based on their gender or job title. But there is a discernible difference based on their location and district. Furthermore, it is evident from the study's findings that ethical leadership and teachers' work performance at the secondary school level are significantly correlated.
