CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Do you know the single greatest problem in any organization, the answer is
simple: lack of managerial skills. Unfortunately, most of the leaders often lose sight of
this fact. Without help in dealing with people and developing skills in management, at
best, most of leaders can give only a mediocre leadership. Leadership can be defined as
an art of influencing people to get the necessary support and cooperation in community
affairs to maintain solidarity among people. Some have natural leadership gifts, which
with seeming ease they worked well with others, motivate co-workers and subordinates
and never seem to have demands on people and most of us do not fell to this category but
these skills are usually acquire through experiences-often painful ones but they come
easier when solidly based on understanding of human behaviour.
The Central Philippines State University, Cong. Mariano M. Yulo Campus, as one
of the educational institutions build organization for Cenphilians welfare especially the
studentry. This two organizations operating in the university are: the Supreme Student
Government Organization (SSG), which is the highest governing body of students that
serves as a link between the administration and students; and the Future Leaders of the

raise followers consciousness levels about the importance and value of designated
outcomes and ways of achieving them. They also motivate followers to transcend their
own immediate self-interest for the sake of the mission and vision of the organization.
Such total engagement (emotional, intellectual and moral) encourages
followers to develop and perform beyond expectations (Burns, 2000; Bass, 2000). Burns
(2000), observes that transformational leadership involves the process of influencing
major changes in organizational attitudes in order to achieve the organizations objectives
and strategies. Bass (2000) observed that transactional leaders work their organizational
cultures following existing rules and procedures, while transformational leaders change
their cultures based on a new vision and a revision of shared assumptions, values and
norms. When an organization must adapt to changes in technology, its leadership is a
critical factor in its successful change.
Bass (2000) operationalized the work of Burns (2000) by developing a
model of transformational and transactional leadership, referred to in more recent
publications as the full range leadership model (Bass and Avolio, 2000).
Messick and Kramer (2004) argued that the degree to
which the individual exhibits leadership traits depends not only on his characteristics and
personal abilities, but also on the characteristics of the situation and environment in
which he finds himself. Since human beings could become members of an organization in
other to achieve certain personal objectives, the extent to which they are active members
depends on how they are convinced that their membership will enable them to achieve

side of the coin, emphasizes the skills of leadership, such as how leaders work with
others and how they apply their knowledge and experience to achieve the desired results.
The concept and definition of leadership and style may differ from one person, or
situation, to the other. The word leadership has been used in various aspects of human
endeavor such as politics, businesses, academics, social works, etc. Previous views about
leadership show it as personal ability. Messick and Kramer (2004) argued that the degree
to which the individual exhibits leadership traits depends not only on his characteristics
and personal abilities, but also on the characteristics of the situation and environment in
which he finds himself. Since human beings could become members of an organization in
other to achieve certain personal objectives, the extent to which they are active members
depends on how they are convinced that their membership will enable them to achieve
their predetermined objectives. Therefore, an individual will support an organization if he
believes that through it his personal objectives and goals could be met; if not, the
persons interest will decline. Leadership style in an organization is one of the factors that
play significant role in enhancing or retarding the interest and commitment of the
individuals in the organization.
Leadership Style and Performance
In the literature, leadership has been identified as an important subject in the field
of organizational behaviour. Leadership is one with the most dynamic effects during
individual and organizational interaction. In other words, ability of management to
13
execute collaborated effort depends on leadership capability. Lee and Chuang (2009),
explain that the excellent leader not only inspires subordinates potential to enhance
efficiency but also meets their requirements in the process of achieving organizational
goals. Fry (2003) explains leadership as use of leading strategy to offer inspiring motive
and to enhance the staffs potential for growth and development. Several reasons indicate
that there should be a relationship between leadership style and organizational
performance. The first is that todays intensive and dynamic markets feature innovationbased competition, price/performance rivalry, decreasing returns, and the creative
destruction of existing competencies .Studies have suggested that effective leadership
behaviours can facilitate the improvement of performance when organizations face these
new challenges (McGrath and MacMillan, 2000; Teece, Pisano and Shuen, 2003).
From this review of related literature, it is evident that although some scholars
believe that leadership enhances organizational performance while others contradict this,
different concepts of leadership have been employed in different studies, making direct
comparisons virtually impossible. Gaps and unanswered questions remain. Consequently,
the current study is intended to re-examine the proposed leadership-performance
relationship and, thus, contribute meaningfully to the body of growing literature and
knowledge in this area of study.
14
Leadership Dilemma
Leaders often find themselves in a dilemma because they are people with unique
patterns of confidence and fear that come from their life influences, education,
experiences, and personal needs. They may want to be themselves, to be at peace with
themselves, and to avoid the situations that make them uncomfortable. They May want to
grow into their full potential while maximizing the potential of the people they lead.
Leaders also find themselves with a societal and organizational environment of
constraints and challenges, of limitation and freedom. The basic dilemma lies between
what they believe desirable and what they can actually do in practice. Effective leaders
ask themselves questions such as: How democratic can I be? ; How authoritarian must I
be? They struggle with the series of dilemma: Competition is healthy, but I want
teamwork to decision-making and this takes time; I can see opportunities for quick
results in one-person decisions, but shared responsibility motivates better and brings
about longer-lasting solutions (and believe in the educational values of this process).
There are five typical patterns of leadership: (1) Telling. Leaders identify problems,
consider options, choose one solution, and tell their followers what to do. Leaders may
consider members view, but members dont participate directly in decision-making.
Leaders of this style may even use coercion. (2) Persuading. Leaders make decisions and
try to persuade group members to accept them. They point out that they have considered
the organization goals and the interests of group members. They even point out how
members will benefit from carrying out the decision. (3) Consulting. Group members
15
have opportunities to influence the decision making from the beginning. Leaders present
problems and relevant background information. Leaders invite the group to suggest
alternative actions. Leaders then select the most promising solution. (4) Participating.
Leaders participate as members in the discussion and agree in advance to carry out
whatever decision the group makes. (5) Delegating. Leaders define the boundaries within
which to solve problems or accomplish tasks. Then they turn it over to the group to work
out solutions or to implement the tasks.
Contrasting Leadership Styles
The Authoritarian Style shows certain characteristics and we can sum them up
by saying that authoritarian style leaders:
1. Are generally strong-willed, domineering, and to some extent, aggressive.
2. Must have their own way, which for them, seems the only way.
3. Look upon his subordinates like functionaries than as person, and the subordinates
trying their best without hesitation or estimation, follow directions without question.
4. Ordinarily are not ready to listen to views and suggestions of others (although they
may pretend to), if they offer different opinions
5. Do not encourage equal relationship (i.e., adult to adult) with underlings. As a rule they
do not allow themselves to get close to employees. They do like to see employees to get
16
close to one another, for such cliques, as authoritarian leaders perceive them, might
endanger their authority.
6. Have business-like and task-oriented attitudes. The job comes first.
7. Generally blame poor results on the inability of others to carry out instructions
correctly.
The following self-talk describes the authoritarian leader attitudes:
I know best what is to be done here. The others in the group expect as much me.
This is, after all, my job as their leader. Because I cannot do everything myself, I need
their help, not their ideas and plans, to implement what needs to be done. I can take care
of the thinking, and I do more than my share of the doing too, but I shall need their help. I
suppose Ill have to listen to them. These days, they expect that much of me. But I dont
expect to hear anything new. Im quite confident that well end up doing it my way. Of
course, Ill handle the proceedings during the meeting, and Ill manage to control the
pace of things well. After all, the agenda is mine and Ive thought each point already. Ill
also dispose of any disputes that may arise, since the task is the thing that counts and we
cant be held up by any petty personal squabbles. That would be a sheer waste of time.
Better that we all keep our feelings to ourselves anyway.
Laissez-Faire Style
17
Laissez-faire leadership may be the best or the worst of leadership styles. If the
leader follows the normally understood definition and standard practice of noninterference and hands-off when supposedly leading his or her followers, the worst
form of leadership is manifested. However, when the twenty-first century properly
prepares his or her followers, laissez-faire leadership emerges as the ultimate form of
leading. The two words laissez-faire and leadership are absolute direct opposites. The
French term laissez-faire was originally used relative to mercantilism, and is defined in
economics and politics as an economic system that functions best when there is no
interference by government, and is considered a natural economic order that procures
the maximum well-being for the individual and extends to the community. Leadership is
defined as an interactive process that provides needed guidance and direction. Leadership
involves three interacting dynamic elements: a leader, a follower(s) and a situation. The
leaders role is to influence and provide direction to his/her followers and provide them
needed support for theirs and the organizations success. World, political, religious, and
military leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Mao Tse Tung, Winston Churchill, Martin
Luther King Jr., and George Patton have led multitudes, and even countries, to victory
against seemingly insurmountable odds. Early twenty-first-century leaders must develop
a future vision, obtain commitment for such a vision, and inspire, motivate, and empower
others to attain the highest level of accomplishment. The noted author James MacGregor
Burns (2003) presents two types of leadership: transactional and transformational.
Aspects of transactional leadership are almost overlays of positive and proactive
18
19
5. They rarely set policies without explaining the reasons, and proposing them to
their groups, when they can, for suggestions and criticism.
6. They believe that responsibility for getting a job done depends as much on the
group as upon themselves. They try to have this attitude shared by all group members.
7. They allow group members a good deal of freedom in their work, once they
have shown their ability to do it.
8. They keep looking for better ways to do things, and are open to change when
convinced that such changes seem called for and would lead to greater effectiveness.
9. They believe in the effectiveness of group work. They also believe that groups
of committed individuals working together have greater potential when those same
members work as individual.
We can characterize the attitudes of democratic leaders in the following selftalk: I place a high value on sound and creative decisions that emerge from real
understanding and searching within a group of committed people who take their life
together seriously. I listen for, and try to elicit, ideas and opinions that differ from my
own. I have clear convictions, but I am also open to change in the face of sound ideas and
reasoning.
I realize that, however competent and experience I am, I may not have all
the information needed, and definitely lack the experience of the others in the group. I am
always ready to learn. When conflict arises in the group, I do my best, with my groups
help, to identify the issues involved and to uncover their resources. When aroused by
20
someone or something, I try to contain myself and stay in touch whatever might be going
inside of me. I try to maintain a sense of humor to keep things in perspective. I put a lot
of energy into group work, because I firmly believe in the effectiveness of teamwork.
Transactional Style
A transactional leader is someone who, as the name imply, relates to his team and
tasks in terms of "transactions". His decisions are often based on tangible benefits and
losses, rewards and punishments, results and performances. Between a transactional and
transformational leader, the transactional leader is a much more common species.
Transactional leadership involves a relationship between the leader or manager and his
team that is carrot-and-stick in nature. This means to say that team members are rewarded
when they carry out an action that benefits the team's performance, and they are punished
when they take an action which is detrimental to the team's performance. Rewards and
punishment are often used to signal to the team as to the appropriate and desirable action
to take. Evidently, the transactional leadership style is very much based on "exchanges"
in favors and debts, or "transactions". As such, it is also worthy to note that a
transactional leader is often also an autocratic leader as he enlists the use of punishment
and reward to motivate his team.
In terms of operations, a transactional leader may be considered to be task
oriented. A transactional leader makes decisions based on what produces best results.
That is to say, a transactional leader would allocate resources, manpower, time and
money based on what he believes would suit the immediate outcome the most, for
21
22
lead by example. It is through their action that they touch the hearts of their followers,
and it is the strength of this faith that they create that makes their follower hold firm and
loyal in the face of adversity.
A transformational leader is far sighted in terms of operations. Rather than
being too caught up in the day-to-day affairs, the transformational leader looks beyond to
concern him with larger issues such as team dynamics, visioning, goals setting and people
development. People developed in particular. A transformational leader is always
concerned with developing his team. He looks at tasks as opportunities to develop his
team members rather than as jobs for them to complete. He sees the development and
growth of each and every team member as his obligation and will go out of his way to
ensure that they are always in the process of growth and learning.
Autocratic Versus Democratic Leadership
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail, as the Maslow
quote goes. The best leadership is said to be situational, with effective leaders changing
their approach to accommodate their situation. This can become a challenge when the
situation changes rapidly or when the leader is capable of only one approach.
The continuum leadership style is often presented as and either/or proposition
with regards to how leaders deal with people. Autocratic and democratic are terms
used to define end points of a continuum developed over the years by those who study
such things, as outlined in the table below:

inherent close supervision increases role ambiguity, reduces productivity, and decreases
group harmony.
The
democratic
approach on the other hand works best when it is visibly supported by higher authority,
members are well-educated, leaders have the skills to conduct meetings with the
members, and time can be afforded for trust to develop. If these factors exist, then the
democratic approach results in higher rates of productivity, reduced personnel turnover,
reduced absenteeism, and better employee physical and mental health.
Which
approach is appropriate depends in part on the nature of the follower and the
environment.
becomes educated and seeks greater participation, when business becomes more
complex, and when the use of advanced technology increases and there is greater
emphasis on team expertise. Immature, dependent, and inexperienced subordinates are
more likely to expect and accept authoritarian direction, whereas a democratic approach
results in more rapid employee development. We are often presented with value
judgments of autocratic leadership as bad and democratic leadership as well. This is not
always the case. Authoritarian leadership works best with authoritarian followers in an
authoritarian culture. There are times when an authoritarian approach is appropriate, as
the leader of a high performing group can afford to be more democratic than the leader of
a poor performing group.
Transactional Leadership versus Transformational Leadership

the service she provides in raising the child is unconditional, dedicated, committed. Mom
plays a major role in shaping up the kids future life. This type of relation is called as
Transformational. Leaders do exist in this world with these behaviors. Transformational
Leaders work toward a common goal with followers; put followers in front and develop
them; take followers to next level; inspire followers to transcend their own self-interests
in achieving superior results.
Transactional and Transformational Leadership
Transactional and Transformational Leadership defined prior to defining each
characteristic of transactional and transformational leadership, it is important to clarify
how both of these are defined.
Transactional leadership can be summarized simply as transactions between
leaders and subordinates, in an effort to improve performance of subordinates. Authors
use similar definitions to describe transactional leadership and in general, describe it to be
leadership which is based on transactions between manager and employees (Bass, 1990,
p. 20). Bass (1985) describes transactional leadership in detail, explaining that changes
in degree or marginal improvement can be seen as the result of leadership that is an
exchange process: a transaction in which followers needs are met if their performance
measures up to their explicit or implicit contracts with their leader (p. 27). Another
similar definition from Bromley and Kirschner-Bromley (2007) explains transactional
leadership as leaders which specify explicit requirements and conditions of the task, and
provide rewards for fulfilling those requirements, and that fulfilling the requirement is
27
completing the transaction (p. 54). Transformational leadership lies on the opposite end
of the spectrum, in that this type of leadership strives to inspire and transform their
employees in order to improve their performance.
Transformational leadership research was recognized and originally developed by
Burns in 1978, and later more fully developed by Bernard Bass (Bromley, 2007). Bass
(1990) explains that transformational leadership occurs when leaders broaden and
elevate the interests of their employees, when they generate awareness and acceptance of
the purposes and mission of the group, and when they stir their employees to look beyond
their own self-interest for the good of the group (p. 21). Characteristics of Transactional
and Transformational Leadership Both transactional and transformational leadership have
four characteristics each. In order to have an understanding of both types of leadership, it
is important to review all eight. All eight characteristics work together to create the full
range of leadership skills. The first four characteristics described below are transactional
leadership characteristics. The first characteristic of transactional leadership is contingent
reward, which Bass (1990) explains leaders exhibit when they contract exchange of
rewards for effort, promises rewards for good performance, (and) recognizes
accomplishments (p. 22). The second characteristic is management by exception (active)
which is when a leader watches and searches for deviations from rules and standards,
(and) takes corrective action (p. 22). The third characteristic, management by exception
(passive) is when a leader intervenes only if standards are not met (p. 22). The final
transactional characteristic is laissez-faire leadership when a leader abdicates
28
29
leadership more frequently than transactional leadership in their work (p. 420). They
further concluded that the most prominent behavior, under transformational leadership,
was inspirational motivation (p. 420), and that the most prominent transactional behavior
is contingent reward (p. 421). These conclusions again, support that transformational

leadership augments transactional leadership as well as that transactional leadership
characteristics are valuable in building this relationship between the two. A final example
of how transformational leadership and transactional leadership interact with one another,
does not utilize the MLQ, but simply provides a discussion about how the two interact
within the realm of team leadership. Corrigan & Garman (1999) discuss how
transformational and transactional leadership skills are needed to develop leaders in a
team situation. The research was conducted in a mental health institution and the authors
discuss the importance of transformational skills in building team cohesion. There was
need to form team cohesion and provide leaders the ability to inspire team members and
help the team move forward with creative problem solving. The three transformational
factors that were important for the team leaders to inhibit were: inspiration and
charisma, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration (Corrigan et al., 1999,
p. 304).
In conjunction with the three transformational factors, the team leaders also
needed to have skills that allowed them to motivate team members in the here-and-now
(Corrigan, et al., 1999, p. 308). This motivational need and focus requires the leaders to
30
not only inhibit transformational skills but transactional skills. In making transactions, the
leaders had three goals: clarifying expectations, motivating improvement, and
recognizing achievements (p. 308). These things were done through use of contingent
rewards, goal setting, and performance feedback. The development of team leaders
needed transactional skills to help maintain effective programs (Corrigan et al., 1999, p.
310). They then augmented the transactional skills with transformational skills in
building a cohesive and motivated team (p. 310). The interaction of both
transformational and transactional leadership skills was valuable to these leaders in that
they utilized the appropriate skill, which allowed the team leaders to meet both present
and future needs of the team members and organization.
Goleman (2000), who has identified six leadership styles. Of these six styles of
leadership, (Coercive, Authoritative, Affiliative, Democratic, Pacesetting, and Coaching)
it is the Democratic style of leadership identified by Goleman that most interests me, as it
is the style that I feel has worked best in my educational leadership roles and in those
leaders whom I have admired. While he clearly suggests that the Democratic style
positively impacts climate and organizations, Golemans findings were largely gathered
from executives of a specific consulting firm. I am curious as to how the democratic style
of leadership impacts educational settings. Specifically, as a coach, I am curious to
understand the democratic leadership style and to see how a democratically-minded
coach might practice it. Ones style of leadership can determine his or her success as a
leader and the success of the group one leads. This premise is often accredited to
31
32
they studied the effects of the leadership styles on schoolchildren (Lewin et al., 1939).
For the sake of this 5 personal study, Lewins characteristics and description of the
participative or democratic leadership style is the one that I will use as the basis for
creating my own characteristics of a democratic leader. Lewins study found that
participative (democratic) leadership is generally the most effective leadership style of
the three that he identified. Democratic leaders offer guidance to group members, but
they also participate in the group and allow input from other group members. In the group
with the participative leaders, the children were encouraged by group members to
participate in decision making processes, but the leaders retained the final say over the
decision-making process (Lewin et al., 1939). It is this basic understanding that has come
to define the modern day definition of democratic leadership. Lewin noted in his study
that group members felt engaged in the process and were more motivated and creative
with the democratic leadership style (Lewin et al., 1939). Ironically, Lewin observed that
while the participative style was the most effective of the three styles, the children in this
group were ultimately less productive than those children in the authoritarian leadership
style group (Lewin et al., 1939). While the basic understanding and characteristics of the
democratic leadership style for this study will come from Lewins work, there are many
other researchers who have added, supplemented, or changed some of Lewins trend
setting work on democratic leadership. The more modern literature on democratic
leadership seems to repeat, and build on much of Lewins work, but many modern
researchers seem to emphasize the specific characteristics of democratic leadership styles
33
and/or discuss the negative aspects of democratic leadership in more detail. In order for
my study to be comprehensive, I gathered a wide variety of literature that discusses these
two emphasized aspects. Since Lewins study, more recent researchers like Goleman
(2000) suggest the idea that the authoritarian style of leadership, often regarded as the
opposite of the democratic leadership style, is quite possibly the style that impacts the
climate of groups the most. For example, Daniel Goleman developed a framework for
defining leadership styles in which he links leadership styles and emotional intelligence.
This detailed work on has become the framework for modern day analysis of leadership
styles. In his study, Goleman has categorized leadership styles into the following
categories: 1) CoerciveDemanding immediate compliance. 6 2) Authoritative
Mobilizes people towards a self created vision. 3) AffiliativeA style that creates
harmony through empathy, communication, and relationship building. 4) Democratic
Forges consensus through participation and collaboration. 5) PacesettingSets high
standards for performance and expects those in the team to do as the leader does. 6)
CoachingDevelops others through empathetic self awareness (Goleman, 2000).
Through this more specific categorization system of leadership styles, Goleman
recognized, based on his research, that democratic leadership styles are not always the
most positive as far as impacting climate. In fact, his study showed that it was the
authoritative style that had the most positive impact on climate (Goleman, 2000). While
this idea of the authoritative leadership style being the most positive on impacting climate
is not totally surprising to many, it is one that warrants clearer understanding. This
34
35
argues that Whatever schools might say about the importance of critical thinking, social
participation, personal autonomy, social responsibility, and the like, the message of the
hidden curriculum can often be one of conformity, obedience, hierarchy, and order
(Osborne, 2001, p.48). This notion would seem to support the idea that perhaps a
hierarchical organization such as the school is not the best setting for inculcating
democratic values (Oppenheim and Torney, 1975, p. 21). The opinion of Osborn is that
the hidden curriculums of educators comes in two forms and are compromising
democracy in an educational setting. The first consists of the rules of conduct that schools
knowingly enforce on students, rules about attendance, punctuality, dress, hallway
behavior, smoking, and the rest. The second lies more below the surface and can be much
less obvious to students and even to teachers. It consists of the social interactions among
students, the interchanges between teachers and students, the implicit and often unspoken
signals through which teachers reveal their expectations, and the many occurrences that
impinge on a students day without anyone necessarily doing anything from deliberate
intent, but which combine to shape the character traits and behavior patterns that have an
impact on the kind of adult citizen a student might become. (Osborne, 2001, p.48) While
Osborne, a researcher who primarily studied Ontario schools, provides evidence, and
supports the claim that this compromising of democracy exists in Ontarios educational
system, he explicitly states that this hidden curriculum cannot be ignored by those
seeking to further expand democracy in education. In short, if schools are to serve as
training grounds for democracy, they cannot ignore the so-called hidden curriculum.
36
Democracy depends in large part on students feeling sufficiently capable and competent 9
to involve themselves in the affairs of their society, to work for their preferred cause
without trampling on the rights of othersand these and many other such traits are
learned, or not learned, as much through everyday experiences of schooling as through
any particular lesson (Osborne, 2001, p. 49). So, one can see that the teaching of
democratic values, while often stressed as important in developing todays youth as
democratic citizens, is not being done through a regular democratic practice within
Ontarios schools. Furthermore, he argues that the reason for this lack of teaching
democratic values can be blamed on the lack of democratic teaching styles in a variety of
educational means and methods. Yet, while Osborne does stress the need for greater
teaching of democratic values in schools, he does not discuss, in the above noted
research, the means of making that happen. The evidence provided by Osborne
concerning the hidden curriculum and the lack of teaching democratic values through
democratic education, is often linked to a lack of democratic leadership in education. The
works of Michael Fullan on the topic of educational leadership are very recognizable in
the Canadian educational setting. While most of Fullans work regarding educational
leadership emphasizes what he refers to as the Cultural Change Leader (Fullan, 2001), a
term and book title that he uses to help explain the current role of todays educational and
business leaders, he does illustrate democratic leadership qualities as essential to leading
in this culture of change and many would identify democratic leadership qualities in his
characteristics of the Cultural Change Leader. Aspects like commitment, relationship
37
building, and knowledge creation and sharing are examples of key democratic style
qualities that Fullan suggests are essential to a framework for leadership and evident in a
Cultural Change Leader (Fullan, 2001, p.4). This idea is elaborated in other works by
Fullan like his article The Change Leader (Fullan, 2002) where he emphasizes the
importance of the relationship between principals and teachers. Fullan states, The
Cultural Change Principal knows that building relationships and teams is the most
difficult skill for both business and education leaders (Fullan, 2002, p.18). However
difficult, Fullan emphasizes throughout the article the importance of this relationship
building and sees it as a key component to educational leadership. The similarities of this
relationship building characteristic 10 described by Fullan with the definitions of a
democratic leadership style as defined by the earlier works by Lewin and Goleman, is
interestingly similar. Understanding and defining the democratic leadership style in
education is very much the key component in much of the work by Philip Woods (2005).
Woods focuses on the idea of democratic leadership, examining what is meant by
democratic leadership, what forms it can take, and how it is relevant to school education
and learning. He shows how the ideals and theories of democratic leadership can translate
into practice, and sets out some of the challenges that democratic leadership poses in the
context of modern education (Woods, 2005). I found this study to be an interesting study
into the understanding of democratic leadership in education. Furthermore, the most
underlying argument made by Woods in his book Democratic Leadership in Education, is
that the theory and practice of democracy and democratic leadership is essential in
38
understanding how society will understand how to improve schools (Woods, 2005). The
study of democratic leadership in education seems to be linked to the idea of inclusion.
Jim Ryan (2005) analyzed the research on inclusive leadership and the importance
of leadership as an intentionally inclusive practice that values all cultures and types of
students in a school (Ryan, 2005). There is a strong link to democratic style leadership
practices in the way that Ryan offers practical suggestions for encouraging inclusive
leadership in schools. In coaching team sports, it is essential to the teams success that all,
or at least as many members as possible, feel included in the team. Inclusion of team
members is a democratic trait that is very important in educational leaders of all types
who inspire to create a democratic atmosphere within their organization. I found that
much of the characteristics of an inclusive leader as defined by Ryan are evident in
democratic leadership style educators, as well as democratic leadership style coaches.
Continuing with the theme of linking inclusion and democratic leadership in educational
leadership, Ryan and Rottman (2009) study administrators who try to create inclusive
communicative practices in order to promote democratic practices. Interestingly, the
study reveals that while the administrators in the study encourage strong communicative
relationships, this seemingly democratic process gives way to more bureaucratic, undemocratic and non-inclusive means (Ryan and Rottman, 2009).

a goal (Robbins et al., 2007) Desires want wishes aims goals needs drives motives and
incentives (Luthans, 2005). The forces that energizes behavior, gives direction to
behavior, and underlies the tendency to persist (Bartol&Martin, 2001, p.377).
Motivation is desires to put forth efforts in pursuit of organizational goals mangers can
always improve their understanding of the forces that energize employees. There is
enormous energy within every person and manger certainly should not prevent its
release (Mondy & Premeaux, 2002, p.308). The set of forces that initiates, directs, and
make people persists in their efforts to accomplish a goal (Williams, 2009, p.578).
Refers to forces within an individual that account for the level, direction, and persistence
of effort expended at work (Osborn, 2008, p.110).
Transactional Leader
Approaches followers with an eye to exchanging one thing for another Burns
Pursues a cost benefit, economic exchange to meet subordinates current material and
psychic needs in return for contracted services rendered by the subordinate . Bass
The leader who recognizes the transactional needs in potential followers but tends to go
further, seeking to arouse and satisfy higher needs, to engage the full person of the
follower to a higher level of need according to Maslows hierarchy of needs Bass
As exactly said by Bass the transactional leaders work within the organizational
culture as it exists; the transformational leader changes the organizational culture.
42
Transformational Leadership
Based on detailed studies of various works in Transformational Leadership
reveals following broader characteristics of Transformational Leader which includes:
clear sense of purpose, expressed simply value driven (e.g. have core values and
congruent behavior), strong role model, high expectations, persistent, self-knowing,
perpetual desire for learning, love work, life-long learners, identify themselves as change
agents, enthusiastic, able to attract and inspire others, strategic ,effective communicator,
emotionally mature, courageous, risk-taking, risk-sharing, visionary, unwilling to believe
in failure, sense of public need, considerate of the personal needs of employee, listens to
all viewpoints to develop spirit of cooperation, mentoring , able to deal with complexity,
uncertainty and ambiguity.
Theories of Leadership in the Philippines
Alampay (2002:64) viewed leadership as a phenomenon that involves values. Of
the eleven characteristics of the twenty-first century leaders that listed, some three or four
relate to value, such as focus on people, inspiring trust and doing the right thing. Ones
personhood is influenced by values. Values shape how people act and behave.
Transformational leadership is based on the leaders values and needs. It can be roughly
contended then that process of the leadership starts and ends with the leader. The verbs
used by researchers to equate with leadership include: initiating, controlling, defining,
designing, envisioning, enabling, setting the basis. Such verbs connote no less than that
the leader occupies the central role in triggering the leadership process, and the
43
completing and closure of the leadership process. The leader is the strongest element that
has the greater potential to influence the process more than any other element or
ingredient that may go into the leadership process equation from the start to finish.
The implication of these related statements is that the most interesting aspect in
the leadership phenomenon to study is all about the leader. It may even be already
sufficient to study leadership by just studying the leader. They do not come as
independent factors directly affecting the leadership process, but as indirect only
considered because it so happens that the leader gave them importance in his decisions.
The leadership process consists of many inter-connected processes that start from the
leader main decisions. A complete leadership inquiry would be worthwhile but the most
part is an inquiry about the leader, it is important to look at the origins of the influences
on the leaders decision. Just studying the origins of the decisions of the leader alone is
already sheds much light into the succeeding process or the whole leadership process.
Making decision is a mental process cognitive process) resulting in the selection of a
course of action among several alternative scenarios. Every decision produces a final
choice. The output can be an action or an opinion of choice. Ones values very much
determine his personal values. The goals one chooses are the outer expression of his
personal values. A persons values determine how he perceives any particular situation.
The leaders decision marks a gate keeping process. It only includes what the
leader- being the controller, regulator, orchestrator of the processwants to include in his
agenda or priorities. If the leader does not want to include the followers in this activity or
44
program, then the element of followers cannot be considered or is absent in the context in
his decisions, then that factor is virtually be excluded in the leadership process. But if the
leader includes them because he thinks it is valuable to do so, given his values, beliefs,
principles, philosophies, views, perspectives and the like, influence the decision
outcomes and choices.
Leadership for the Twenty-first Century (Educational System)
The Twenty- first Century fever is upon us sprinkling evidence of change; with a
lot of challenges, overwhelming complexities, compelling commitments and concern
from everyone in the learning society geared toward the improvement of the quality of
life.
These exciting yet alarming issues in the bailiwick of education demand
leadership potentials to address and respond to the requirement of a multi-faceted,
change-based universal world. The primary concern of the educational system is the
creation of effective schools which anticipate the enormous perspectives of global change
from the context of relevant, responsive, and rectifying paradigms shifts. Along this
trend, it is the global of any educational management training program to inspire and
equip school leaders with knowledge and skills that will enable them to lead institutions
toward effectiveness and reforms.

This chapter covers the presentation, analysis and interpretation of data. Data are

The table 1 shows the mean distribution of the leadership style of the SSG, it
reveals that the Laissez-faire Leadership Style is the highest occurring leadership style in
the SSG Organization with the mean of 2.23 and the standard deviation of .42 followed
by the transformational leadership style that ranks second, with the mean of 2.18 and
.51 standard deviation value. The participative leadership style ranks as the third
occurring leadership styles in its 2.15 mean and .49 standard deviation, then the
transactional leadership style ranks fourth with the mean of 2.11 and the .50 standard
deviation value. Lastly, the autocratic leadership style ranks the lowest occurring
leadership style with the mean of 2.01 and the standard deviation of .40. All the
variables of the leadership styles had a verbal interpretation of high.
From the responses gathered from the respondents the top 3 leadership styles used
by the SSG Organization are the laissez-faire, participative and democratic leadership
styles. Laissez-faire style is characterizes leaders uninvolved with their followers and
51
Our broad definition of leadership thus incorporates the most commonly used
definitional features: the leader as person (dispositional characteristics), leader behavior,
the effects of a leader, the interaction process between a leader and follower(s), and the
importance of context (Bass, 2008).It is also important that we differentiate it
conceptually from power and management, respectively, because these concepts are often
confused with leadership. Power refers to the means leaders have to potentially influence
others.
Davies and Brundrett (2010) warn not to dismiss autocratic leadership style as
52
totally inappropriate referring to specific cases where autocratic leadership might prove
to be effective. Davies and Brundrett (2010) further elaborate that occasions where the
application of autocratic leadership might prove to be effective include, but not limited to
emergency situations and crises that can be resulted impacted by a wide range of factors.
However, the literature review has found a consensus among authors about
inappropriateness of application of laissez-faire leadership style, regardless of the sector,
public or private.
At the same time, the overall idea of dividing leadership into different categories
is dismissed as impractical by Schermerhorn et al. (2011) and Griffin (2011). Specifically,
Schermerhorn et al. (2011) argue that each leadership case is different as a subject to a
range of unique circumstances, and therefore categorising leadership into rigid molds
would not be appropriate.

The table 2 shows the mean distribution of the leadership styles of the FLP
officers, it reveals that all the leadership style in the FLP Organization had a high verbal
interpretation. The laissez-faire is the most occurring leadership style with a 2.25 mean
value and the standard deviation of .46, followed by the participative leadership style
that ranks second with the mean of 2.21 and the standard deviation of .48. The third
occurring leadership style is the transactional leadership style with the mean of 2.17 and
the standard deviation of .51. Then the rank four is the transformational leadership style
with a 2.14 mean value and a .51 standard deviation and the autocratic leadership style
which has the mean of 1.98 and the standard deviation of .45 is the least occurring
leadership style.
In the responses gathered from the respondents, it shows that the top three
leadership style of the FLP organization are the laissez-faire, participative and the
transactional leadership styles. Laissez-faire leaders are most successful in environments
with highly trained and self-directed followers but not suited to environments in which
the members require feedback, direction, oversight, flexibility, or praise. While

a .5147 mean, 1.585 Z test value and .114 sig. value; transactional leadership style had

style had a .05418 mean, .588 Z test value and .113 sig. value, failing to reject the null
hypothesis.
56
In the data gathered it revealed that the leadership styles of the two organizations
were the same despite of the difference in ranking of each leadership styles in every
organization. This implies that the SSG and FLP organization as two different
organization operating in the university display the same leadership styles in handling
and running the organization despite of the difference duties and responsibilities being
accomplished.
Fatokun et al., (2010) mention that a leader is a person who takes the central role
in interactions and who influences the behavior of other members of the group.
He is an individual who has authority over others and is responsible for guiding their
actions. Leadership must be defined in terms of the ability to build and maintain a group
that performs in doing decision making for organization. Moreover, leaders should be
evaluated in terms of the performance of the group over time and their leadership skills.
The true leaders really know their responsibility to give order and engage with
subordinates in order to adapt to situations. This means leaders are using the most
appropriate style to suit the people and circumstances at particular time. In addition,
Bohn and Grafton (2002) presume that leadership means the way to create a clear vision,
filling their subordinates with self-confidence, created through coordination and
communication to detail.
The situational and contingency theories of leadership suggesting that relations
between leader characteristics (e.g., traits, behaviors) and leader outcomes depend on the
situation in which the influencing processes occur. They argue that the success of

study focuses on the evaluation of leadership and organizational performance.
