Abstract
The performance of schools is highly dependent on the leadership of
school heads, and, flexible leaders accelerate school performance.
The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine leadership
behavior in selected boys’ secondary schools that are performing
well. Based on multiple-case study design, four high-performing
schools from Quetta were selected as sites. Collectively, four
principals, four vice-principals and purposively selected sixteen
teachers constituted the sample of the study. The data were collected
from semi-structured interviews. For the data analysis, the study relied on grounded theory approach through open-coding, axial
coding and selective coding. The findings revealed that the school
principals possessed different leadership behaviors, such as changeoriented, relation-oriented and task-oriented behaviors. Moreover,
different leadership behaviors contribute to school performance.
The implications of the study, recommendations and suggestion are
also discussed.
