ABSTRACT
This study seeks to ascertain the most appropriate leadership styles of Principals that enhance academic performance of students in the Nurses Training Colleges in the Central Region. The study was based on such research question as how do tutors perceive the leadership style of their respective principals? The assertions made by the authors in the literature review mentioned the issues of the attitude administrators, the level of female education, how females were perceived in all aspects of life and some traditional and/or social beliefs that affected the performance of female administrators and how they are perceived by staff.
The study was conducted in three (3) Nursing training schools in the Central Region, namely Cape Coast Nursing and Midwifery Training School, Anakaful Psychiatric Nursing Training College and Winneba Community Health Nursing Training School. The study was a descriptive survey. The sample for the study was 334 made up of 24 tutors, 300 students and 10 non-teaching staff members. Simple random method was used to select the sample for the study. Questionnaire was the instrument used for the study.
The study revealed that Heads’ supervisory roles had been ineffective in the Region resulting in poor academic performance of students. It was recommended that the Ghana Health Service (GHS) should make the programme management/ administration as a requirement for principalship.
