Abstract
The study aims to investigate authentic leadership attributes (ALA) and its relationship with classroom management. The objectives of the study were to investigate ALA of the university leaders and teachers; and to measure the relationship between ALA and classroom engagement at university level. 6975 university leaders and teachers constituted the population of the study. The selected sample of the study was 967. The mixed method approach (convergent parallel design) was employed to collect information from the sample through modified form of Authentic Leadership Questionnaire (ALQ) developed by Walumbwa, Avolio, Gardener, Wernsing and Peterson (2008); and in-depth interviews. Analysis was done with Mean, STD, Pearson’s rank correlation and thematic analysis. The r value between authentic leadership attributes and classroom management in public sector universities is (r = .355) which shows medium relationship while (r = .519) shows large correlation in private sector universities which are highly significant as shown by the significant level (.000). These values show that relationship between ALA and classroom management in private sector universities is higher than public sector. It was found that r value (.426) which was significant at .000 showed significant medium correlations between ALA and classroom engagement at university. Based on the results, it is recommended that it may be well to conduct a research study on the authentic leadership at primary, secondary and higher secondary level, both at private and public sectors as these areas are in great need of authentic leadership because these sectors suffered a lot due to the unethical attitude of the leaders.
