Abstract

This study investigated teachers’ perception of principals’ leadership behaviours as correlates of their organizational citizenship behaviour in secondary schools in Onitsha education zone of Anambra State. The study adopted a correlational survey research design. The population of the study consists of all the 5,423 teachers in the state government-owned secondary schools in the education zone. The sample size for this study comprised 2000 teachers in the state government-owned secondary schools in the area of the study. Two research questions were raised for the study while two null hypotheses was formulated and tested. The structured questionnaire was validated and used as the instrument for collecting data titled “Questionnaire on Principals’ Leadership Behaviour” (QPLB) and “Questionnaire on Teachers’ Organizational Citizenship Behaviour” (QTOCB). The instrument was subjected to reliability testing, the Cronbach Alpha Method was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument and it yielded an overall co-efficient of 0.81 for the two instruments. It was found that there was a positive and significant relationship among principals’ instructional resource allocation and staff development and teachers’ OCB in secondary schools in Onitsha education zone of Anambra. The finding also revealed that there are no significant joint relationship among principals’ leadership behaviours (instructional resource allocation and staff development) and teachers’ organizational citizenship behaviour in secondary schools in Onitsha education zone of Anambra. Thus, it can be concluded that principals’ leadership behaviour variables significantly influence teachers’ OCB in secondary schools in Onitsha education zone of Anambra. Based on the findings of the study, it was therefore recommended amongst others that principals in secondary schools in the area should effectively monitor teachers’ instructional delivery to render suggestions for enhancement and consistent with the stated goals of the school.
