Subject area: Management and Commerce  ·  Area of research: Leadership Style

Abstract

A leader's ability to inspire and drive others to accomplish organizational objectives is one of the primary factors that determine whether an organization succeeds or fails. The study focused on the department heads' behavioral leadership styles within the Alcala, Pangasinan, local government unit. To determine the extent of the respondents' behavioral leadership style, a descriptive survey is used. The quantitative analysis uses frequency counting, weighted mean, and ANOVA. The majority of respondents were between the ages of thirty and forty-one, which is consistent with their shorter service histories of five years or less. The department heads put a lot of emphasis on behavioral leadership strategies that care for people and provide results for their particular behavioral leadership. According to the study, grouping the respondents according to their academic profiles does not significantly alter their behavioral leadership.
