This study aims to identify the leadership style practiced by principals from teachers’ perception and its relationship to school effectiveness. Questionnaires were used to collect data. A total of 260 teachers were randomly selected from secondary schools in Samarahan District, Sarawak. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, t-test and correlation. The results showed that principals are more likely to adopt success-oriented leadership style rather than directive style, participatory and considerate. The results also showed significant differences in the dimensions of leadership style according to the effectiveness of the school. The comparison between the mean scores of leadership style and SQEM scores is found to have a high and significant relationship. Suggestions for improvement
and enhancement of the quality of leadership are also recommended.
