| contents | <p>Abstract <br>This study investigated Principals’ Leadership <br>Behaviours as correlates of Students’ Academic <br>Performance in Public Senior Secondary <br>Schools in South-South, Nigeria. Five research <br>questions and five null hypotheses were raised to <br>guide the study. Correlational survey design and <br>ex-post facto design were adopted for the study. <br>From a population of 84,841 teachers and 709 <br>public senior secondary schools, a sample size <br>of 382 teachers and 71 public senior secondary <br>schools in Edo and Delta States in the South<br>South, Nigeria was taken using multistage <br>sampling technique. Two instruments titled ―Principals’ Leadership Behaviour <br>Questionnaire (PLBQ)‖, and ―Students’ <br>Academic Performance Proforma (SAPP)‖ were <br>used to elicit data for the study. The reliability of <br>the PLBW was determined using split half <br>method and correlated using Pearson product <br>moment correlation which yielded reliability <br>index of 0.82.Descriptive and inferential <br>statistical tools were employed for the analysis <br>of data. Research questions were answered using <br>mean scores and standard deviation; while the <br>null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of <br>significance using linear regression and multiple <br>regression analysis. The findings of the study <br>revealed that task centred, people centred, <br>transformational and transactional leadership <br>behaviours were exhibited by school principals; <br>there is a high extent of teachers’ continuing <br>professional development; and a very good <br>performance in SSCE results in public senior <br>secondary schools in South-South of Nigeria <br>from 2013 to 2022. The study concluded that <br>there is significant relationship between <br>principals’ leadership behaviours and students’ <br>academic performance in public senior <br>secondary schools in South-South of Nigeria. </p> <p>Based on the findings and conclusion, it was <br>recommended among others that principals <br>should critically identify and continuously <br>demonstrate leadership behaviours that enhance <br>their administrative competences and facilitate <br>satisfactory academic outcomes of secondary <br>school students in South-South of Nigeria. </p> |
