Assessment of Followership Styles Among Teachers Teaching in High Schools

Abstract

    Teachers having effective follower ship styles are considered crucial for school success.However, school leaders are frequently observed complaining about the reluctant behavior of many teachers in fulfillment of their professional responsibilities, which indicates the lack of teachers having an effective follower ship style. Therefore, the study investigated the proportion of teachers in terms of their follower-ship styles, i.e. exemplary, conformist, pragmatic, passive, and alienated. A survey was conducted to obtain data from 1209 teachers selected through the two-stage random sampling technique. Data was collected using a self-developed scale to assess the teachers' follower-ship. Results revealed that pragmatic followers are highest in number and alienated are the lowest. However, teachers having exemplary follower-ship styles are at the fourth number with less than the desired proportion.Hence, authorities of teachers' recruitment and professional development may sufficiently focus on effective follower ship styles among the teachers.
