Abstract
The major purpose of the study was to explore the
relationship between principal’s leadership style and teacher
occupational stress as perceived by teachers of Government Colleges
for Elementary Teachers (GCETs) in Punjab, Pakistan. The instruments
of data collection were developed and validated. The data were
collected through mail and analyzed using SPSS. The findings of the
study confirmed the relationship between principal’s leadership style
and teacher occupational stress i.e. teachers were more stressed when
principal’s leadership style was autocratic, while under democratic
leadership style, teachers had lower stress. The study also confirmed
that all respondents were under some sort of occupational stress of
varying intensity. The findings have implications for (i) addressing
teachers’ occupational stress and conditions under which the heads and
teachers work; and (ii) structuring a productive learning organization
through collegial leadership approach.
