PERCEIVED LEADERSHIP STYLES AND ACADEMICIANS’ JOB PERFORMANCE: TEACHING, RESEARCH, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES IN INDONESIA

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the perceived leadership style and academicians’ job performance. Participation consisted of 244 lecturers of public universities (n = 188) and private universities (n = 56) who responded to a questionnaire survey on the perception of indigenous leadership styles in Indonesia and academicians’ job performance, namely teaching performance, research performance, and community services. The study adhered to a correlation research design by employing path analysis to investigate and assess the relationship degree amongst perceived leadership styles, teaching performance, research performance, and community services. This research identified a significant relationship between perceived leadership styles and three kinds of education performance. Meanwhile, this study also demonstrated that both research performance and community services mediated the relationship between perceived leadership styles and teaching performance.
