The negative sign of regression coefficient of β = -.289 for laissez-faire leadership style was indicating to negative impact of the leadership style on the job performance of the teachers in secondary schools in private sector in Lahore district. Hence, it was evidencing that the principals’ leadership styles were significantly forecasting or promising job performance of the teachers in secondary schools in the district Lahore.
R of .757 of the coefficients of correlation in table 2 too foreshadows that autocratic, democratic style of leadership and laissez-faire leadership style are positively and moderately correlated with teachers’ job performance in Lahore district. R square (R2) of .573 and .570 for adjust R square statistics are further omening that the leadership styles are jointly and mutually contribute or inform 57.3 % of variation in the job performance of teachers. Correspondingly, the value F(3,523) of 233.579 infers that autocratic, democratic and laissez-faire styles of leadership significantly, together and collectively are promising and predicting job performance of the teachers in the schools in private sector in the district Lahore.
Hypothesis 2: Principals’ autocratic leadership style has no significant correlation with teachers’ job performance in secondary schools in private sector in Lahore district.

Similarly, the job performance of the teachers has 3.14 mean ( X̅ ) score and standard deviation ( SD ) value is .36 for the same ( N ) 527 respondents. It further elaborates that the Pearson correlation coefficient score which is .707 and p-value is .000. The positive sign of Pearson correlation coefficient of .707 and lesser p-value of .000 than alpha of .05 ( p < .05 ) are testifying that autocratic style of leadership of the principals and teachers’ job performance have statistically significant and positive relationship or correlation in the secondary schools in the district. Correspondingly, it implies that null hypothesis (2.Principals’ autocratic leadership style has no significant correlation with the job performance of the teachers in secondary schools in private sector in Lahore district) is rejected, while, the positive Pearson correlation coefficient and the significant p-value are manifesting that there is a statistically significant, strong and positive relationship or correlation between the autocratic style of principals and job performance of the teachers in secondary schools in private sector in Lahore district.
