Abstract:
In educational institutions, writers have
explicitly established that leadership style is among the pillars of education.
The commitment level of teachers can vary based on several factors, including
personal dedication, work environment, job satisfaction, and external
influences. While it is difficult to generalize about all teachers, many
educators demonstrate a high level of commitment to their profession and their
students. The study attempted to investigate the relationship between
leadership styles and teacher commitment. 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 study revealed that even though the relationship is weak,
there is a significant and positive relationship between overall leadership style
and overall commitment. This means that head teachers' leadership style is a
factor that either increases or decreases teachers' commitment. The study
recommended that women be included in the recruitment and selection of teachers
for schools in the Ledzokuku Municipality in order to keep more teachers in the
Municipality. It
is also mentioned that the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education
Service should make efforts to improve the level of teacher commitment to
retain teachers in Ledzokuku Municipality.
