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.
The results of Table 3 reveal that autocratic leadership style
has 3.17 mean ( X̅ ) score and standard deviation ( SD ) value is .31 of
the participants ( N ) of 527. 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.
