Abstract:

The study examines the nature of leadership styles employed by head teachers in public basic schools in the Ledzokuku Municipality. A cross-sectional sample method was used in this research. This architecture captures how things are at a certain point in time. The population size is 850, which comprises all head teachers and teachers currently teaching in public basic schools in the Ledzokuku Municipality. The survey revealed that teachers are moderately committed to their schools. The affective commitment was also shown to be higher than normative and continuance commitments among teachers. This conclusion is critical to the study because instructors are more motivated by internal variables like fringe benefits and moral reasons to keep their membership in their schools than by external ones like fringe benefits and moral reasons. According to the findings, the only demographic element that influences teacher dedication is gender. As a result, female teachers were discovered to be more dedicated to their schools than their male counterparts were. As a result, it is suggested that the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service invest in teachers in order to increase their normative commitment level and obligate them to stay in schools in the Ledzokuku Municipality.
