Abstract
This study aimed at determining relationship of demographic variables with heads’ self
perception of transformational and transactional leadership styles. The data were collected
including both boys and girls public primary schools in the eight districts of the Punjab. Two
instrument i.e. Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and Demographic Variable
Measurement Instrument (DVMI) were used to collect data from 467 heads. Data were analyzed
by employing ‘independent sample t-test’ and ‘one way ANOVA’ statistical techniques.
Transformational leadership emerged as the most preferential leadership style of public school
heads. Female heads found to be most transformational as compared to male heads. Whereas,
male heads demonstrated more transactional leadership style as compared to female heads.
School locale showed no effects on heads’ perception of their leadership style. Heads’ academic
and professional qualification did not affect heads leadership style. However age level affected
heads transformational leadership style and heads having age group 51-60 years found more
transformational leaders.
