EFFECT OF DISTRIBUTED LEADERSHIP PRACTICES ON TEACHER PERFORMANCE: COMPARING THE DIFFERENCE IN TEACHER’S PERFORMANCE ON THE BASIS OF DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract

This quantitative research work was conducted on the topic effect of distributed leadership practices on teacher performance in terms of their demographic characteristics. 535 (288 male and 247 female) teachers of sample were selected. The data were collected using two research instruments: (a) The Distributed Leadership Inventory (DLI) for the measurement of distributed leadership practices (b) Teacher Performance Questionnaire (TPQ). Data were collected through questionnaires. The results indicated that there is a statistically significant difference between participants’ responses on the base of experiences i.e., male and female about effect of distributed leadership practices on teacher performance at secondary level and there is insignificant difference between participants responses on the base of academic and professional qualification i.e. male and female teachers about the effect of distributed leadership practices on teacher performance at secondary level. The effective leadership by school leader is a key element in improving the performance of teacher.
