Published Article / This study reports the findings of the masters studies on management styles that
are adopted in effective secondary schools and examined how the effect of
participative management styles could positively change the status of ineffective
secondary schools. Two hundred educators and five school principals were
sampled for the study. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used
to collect the data for the study. The respondents argued that their school
principals adopted democratic, transformational, situational, and behavioural
styles of management. They further believed that the adoption of participative
management styles would positively change the status of ineffective secondary
schools. They argued that by adopting democratic, transformational, situational
and behavioural styles of management will encourage educators to: i) develop
effective teaching and learning in their classrooms as they will be highly
motivated; ii) adopt participative teaching methods that encourage learners to
take part in classroom activities with confidence; and, iii) adopt team teaching
which contributes to better performance in the classroom.
