Bureaucratic Leadership Style and Teachers' Professionalism: A Case Study of Public Sector Universities

Abstract

    This research aims at examining the role of bureaucratic leadership style on teachers' professionalism in public sector universities and the difference between bureaucracy and professionalism, with a special reference to legal-rational authority. A validated self-structured closed-ended questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was designed for data collection from a sample of 40 teachers of Public Sector Universities. An Ordinal Regression Analysis (ORA) was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study show no significant difference between the role of bureaucratic leadership and teachers' professionalism in university as they are interrelated, having a direct link of professionalism with individuals' approaches, behaviors and performance. The results also revealed that the Bureaucratic Leadership style is a more suitable style that enables individuals to work with more dedication and honesty. Bureaucratic leadership is more effective than many others styles of leadership. Hence, the study recommends that it is practised that every style of leadership is not suitable for every organization or institution so, leaders must be competent enough to use the best style according to the situation.
