Abstract

The success of students depends upon the behaviour of the teachers. The leadership quality of a teacher is an integral part of the success and achievement of the student. This study aims to find the impact of teacher leadership on student academic performance. A hypothesis testing research design is adopted, and data is collected from 400 students of the Business school through a well-designed questionnaire. Data analysis is done with SPSS 21. Results reported a significant impact of teachers’ leadership on students' academic performance. It is also reported that both types of leadership have a significant and positive influence on students. At the same time, better influence is reported for teachers' transformational leadership on academic performance than transactional leadership. It is recommended that teachers use leadership qualities with students and influence their performance and behaviour for a bright future.
