The study looked at how teachers in leadership roles view different styles of leadership. They wanted to see which type of leadership (transformational, transactional, or laissez-faire) was most common, and how this varied by gender and age. They also looked at how these leadership styles were linked to positive outcomes like efficiency and satisfaction. The researchers found that transformational and transactional leadership styles were more common than laissez-faire. Men and women had different views on leadership, and age also played a role in how leadership was perceived. Overall, transformational and transactional leadership styles were linked to better outcomes for teachers in leadership positions.
