Original research THE EFFECTS OF MANAGEMENT MODELS AND SCHOOL LEADERSHIP ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF TEACHERSPages 35-44 Abstract
This study explored the effects of management models and school leadership on academic performance of teachers. Data was collected through interview schedule, field notes and open-ended questionnaire. Criterion purposeful sampling technique was used to select ten principals and ten teachers from ten schools. Data analysis was conducted using typological analysis, content analysis and Atlas.ti. The findings have established the effects of management models and school leadership on the academic performance of teachers, management models and school leadership used and association between management models and school leadership and existing academic performance. Principals need to study and learn the application of management models and school leadership; apply management models and school leadership to optimise their success and enhance academic performance which results on student academic performance. Principals further need to use a combination of two constructs, strike the balance and avoid manipulation of one construct against other one.
Keywords: management models, formal models, leadership models, transformational leadership.
