Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the leadership activities of in selected secondary schools of Horo-Guduru-Wollega Zone in Ethiopia. To this end, descriptive survey design was used and both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed. Out of 30secondary schools, 8 secondary schools were selected through stratified random sampling technique. 82 teachers, eight secondary school principals, three secondary school supervisors and 14 woreda education experts were used as primary sources of data. Secondary data sources were secondary school reports, and relevant policy documents. Data for the study were collected through questionnaire, semi-structured interview guide and focus group discussions. The data collected were analyzed by using frequency counts, percentages, mean and weighted mean. The findings of this study revealed that the lazesss-faire leadership style was the most commonly used; leadership style among principals of secondary schools in the zone. Teachers’ job performance was also found to be at a moderate level in the schools. From the findings, it was recommended that school principals should use both laissez-faire and democratic styles of leadership in their school administration in order to enhance better job performance among teachers. The use of the autocratic leadership style should be discouraged among school principals as it could not bring a better job performance among teachers.
