Practices of Transformational Leadership and Their Effects: A Case of Secondary School System in Sindh

Abstract

This study investigated the practices of transformational leadership of headmasters in government secondary schools of Sindh. Qualitative research methodology based on semi structured online interviews was conducted in order to answer the research questions. The research adopted purposive sampling to get interviews from thirty schoolteachers who were teaching in government secondary schools in district Larkana. The qualitative raw data were transcribed, categorized, and themes were generated for the understanding of research. The findings of the data revealed that the practices of the transformational leadership play an important role in changing the school system if practiced in these government schools. Mostly, the government secondary schools of Sindh suffer due to lack of transformational leadership, who can work effectively and efficiently for the success of the school system. Headmasters lack the fundamental qualities like motivation, mentoring, inspiration, and intellectual consideration to transform the school culture for achieving the desired educational goals. Only few schools run smoothly and achieve success due to the presence of transformational leadership. The study recommends that the role of transformational leadership should be enhanced by recruiting and placing efficient and capable headmasters in such schools for accomplishing the educational goals.
