Higher Education Faculty Leadership Styles and their Influence on Classroom Management and Instructional Strategy Choices

• In Event: OTP - The Role of Leadership in Training and Development

Short Description

The purpose of this study was to expand leadership research beyond the traditional business setting, considering how instructors’ leadership styles affect classroom management and the selection of instructional strategies. Like a supervisor in the workplace, an instructor’s leadership style can have an effect on student motivation and performance. Full-time faculty teaching face-to-face undergraduate courses at a regional comprehensive state university in Florida were surveyed to identify leadership styles, classroom management practices and instructional strategy choices.
