“…This present finding is supported by Alshahrani and Baig in pointing out that nurse leader employed transactional leadership as compared to transformational leadership [9]. Further, the findings of Lorber et al, demonstrated that most of the leaders used transactional leadership styles [12]. However, the study finding is contradicted with the study results of Abualrub and Alghamdi, and Moussa et al, who stated that Saudi nurses perceived their nurse leaders as transformational rather than transactional leaders [13,14].…”

Background: The need to define the leadership styles of the nursing directors is imperative as it gives the organization an insight of what to achieve. This study determines the leadership styles of the nursing directors in the Ministry of Health, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This research aims to assess the association of the age, gender and year of employment of the nursing directors to their identified leadership styles. Methods:This research employed the correlational approach in probing the leadership styles of the nursing directors in the Ministry of Health, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. There were 22 nursing directors (100 % response rate) participated in the study. The researcher used the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, Form 6-S (MLQ-6S) by Bass and Avolio. Results: The data suggests that nursing directors employed transactional leadership style in leading their subordinates. It is found out that age has a significant difference in the transactional leadership styles (.037>.05). However, gender and year of employment revealed no significant difference to transformational leadership (.792), transactional leadership (.857), and the laissez-faire (.346). Conclusion: Demystifying the leadership styles of the nursing directors and its variables can contribute to the understanding of the leadership needs to carry out towards organizational outcomes. The study implies a clear demarcation between an expectation of the leaders and the employees of how leadership and work shall be carried out in the organization.

This study examined the leadership styles of head teachers and how these leadership styles influence teacher motivation in the public basic schools in the Anomabo Education Circuit of the Mfantsiman Municipality in the Central Region of Ghana. Quantitative approach of Cross-sectional survey design was adopted for the study. Purposive and random sampling techniques were used to select 115 respondents for the study. The respondents were made up of 14 head teachers and 101 teachers. The data for the study was obtained using Self-administered questionnaires. A test-re-test method was used to establish the reliability of the instrument, and correlation coefficient of 8.51 and 8.63 obtained for the questionnaires of the teachers and the head teachers respectively. The data obtained were analysed using mean and standard deviation. The results revealed that the most dominant leadership style used by the head teachers in the Anomabo in their administration is autocratic. Nevertheless, transformational leadership style is least employed by the headteacher in the Anomabo Education Circuit. Generally, teachers in the public schools in the circuit are motivated to perform their responsibilities to the best of their abilities and knowledge. However, the teachers are not highly motivated with regard to remuneration and conditions of Service. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the government should increase the salaries and offer other incentives to the teacher to motivate them to work well. Head teachers should also involve teachers when making decisions on issues that bother on the welfare of teachers. Furthermore, head teachers should be encouraged to enroll for professional development courses to keep abreast with the best leadership styles that will assist them to achieve the desired educational goals. The Ghana Education Service, through the Mfantsiman Municipal Education Directorate should organize regular in-service training programmes for the head teachers to improve upon their leadership skills and administrative practices.

“…It is perhaps no coincidence therefore that within the health service around the world, transactional styles of leadership are by far the most common (Lorber, Treven, and Mumel 2016). However, despite the high rates of prevalence of transactional leadership within such settings, there is a view that such leadership styles are not as effective for the development of team morale and engagement (Lorber et al 2016). This exposes the tension that can often occur between the attainment of organisational goals and the cultivation of a nurturing environment for individual team members (Hamstra et al 2014).…”

“…In the context of student leadership, transformational leadership has been identified as a challenging theoretical foundation for the development of formal student leadership due to its styles that are not as effective for the development of team morale and engagement as stated by Lorber et al (2016). However, this leadership theory is widely used in educational institutions in the relationship between instructors and students.…”

The aim of this research is to examine the developmental trajectory of students’ leadership. The developmental trajectory of student leadership is dependent upon several interacting theoretical foundations such as developmental, transformational and transactional approaches to leadership. All these approaches are specific and interactional which makes them feasible choices for the theoretical foundation about students’ leadership. Using a qualitative research approach and drawing on interviews conducted with students’ leaders of the University College Cork in Ireland, the results indicated that students’ leaders are very much influenced in their choices and actions by considerations for their future, and the development of skills and experiences that will provide personal and organisational benefit to those involved. Whilst leadership styles at this stage of their development seemed to be in a state of flux and had not been fully honed within students’ leaders, there were notable findings relating to the importance of them to be mentored by experienced leaders from their institution.
