Impact of Transformational Leadership Style of School Heads on Altruism Organizational Citizenship Behavior of Teachers.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of principals'
transformational headship style on teachers' Altruism organizational
citizenship behavior (AOCB). This specific research fills the existing
gap in the relationship between these variables. The study included
entire Heads and Teachers of Public Sector Secondary Schools in 4
Southern districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as the population. By
using L.R Gay's (2003) sample size ratio formula, 8% of the
population was selected as samples for the study. For data collection,
the first instrument was the Short Form Multifactor Leadership
Questionnaire (MLQ) 1995 developed by Bass and Avolio to test the
transformational leadership behavior of Heads and the second
instrument was the organizational-citizenship-behavior scale
(OCBS), produced by Podsakoff & colleagues (1990) to assess the
rank of the Altruism citizenship behavior of teachers in Southern
districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The data were organized and
the responses to each item were analyzed using relevant statistics.
The findings of the study exposed that there is a significant
relationship between the Transformational Leadership behavior of
Heads and the Altruism Organizational-Citizenship Behavior
(AOCB) of Teachers of Secondary Schools in the southern districts
of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province
