ABSTRACT
Teachers occupy a central and vital position in any educational system and that
their attitudes and commitment have been of paramount interest to educational
authorities. The study seeks to examine the influence of head teachers’ leadership
style on teachers’ commitment in the Adentan Municipality. Descriptive design of
the quantitative method of research was employed for the study. The systematic
random and simple random sampling methods were used in selecting respondents.
Questionnaire was the main data collection instrument and a sample size of 100
teachers was used. Frequencies, tables, and percentages were also used to present
the data. The research found that the leadership style mainly exhibited by head
teachers was transformational as teachers are encouraged to develop their
strengths and articulate compelling vision of the future. It was further identified
that factors such as effectiveness of leadership, behavior and supportiveness of
head teachers influenced teachers’ commitment in the basic schools. The study
also showed a positive correlation between head teachers leadership style and
teachers commitment. It is recommended that the Ministry of Education and the
Ghana Education Service should organize in-service training for head teachers in
the practice of the full range leadership styles to increase commitment levels of
teachers.
