Abstract

The study explores the magnitude of neuroticism personality trait (NPT), degree of transformational leadership style (TLS), and relationship between NPT and sub-factors of NPT with TLS. 640 school administrators were selected from the population. Multi multistage stratified random sampling technique was used in the selection of samples. NPT and TLS questionnaires were used for the purpose of data collection. Mean, standard deviation and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. Means were compared with the t test statistic, and ANOVA was used for the interaction effect of gender and school sector. Concluded from the results of the study that TLS has a statistically significant and strong negative correlation with NPT and their sub factors. Gender-wise statistically significant difference does not exist in the means score of NPT and TLS. The school sector-wise statistically significant differences exist in the means score of NPT at the 0.05 level of significance and do not exist in the means score of TLS. Gender and sector-wise interaction effect on TLS is statistically significance does not exist on the means score and Gender and school sector-wise interaction effect on NPT is statistically significance exist in the means score at 0.05 level of significance.
