A Multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used for the study. A total of 324 individuals, including the Deans ofthe Faculties, Heads ofthe Departments and Heads of Quality Enhancements Cells from HEC recognized general public and private universities in Punjab, participated in this study. To evaluate the task-oriented leaders’ behavior, the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ) was administered whereas to assess the organizational performance of higher educational institutions, the researchers developed the Institutional Performance Questionnaire (IPQ) for the participants. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to test the relationship between two variables of the study. The results showed that the leader who has high task-oriented behaviour displays a low degree of organizational performance in higher education institutions and particularly anticipates that the task-oriented leader has not a significant role to implement the policy reforms in higher education institutions. This paper contributes to the theoretical and practical understanding of leaders’ behavior for the organizational performance and implementation of policy reforms in higher education institutions.  \nKeywords: Task-oriented leader, organizational performance, higher education institutions  \n* Assistant Professor, Lahore Leads University, Lahore, [email gulshan_fatima_alvi@yahoo.com](email gulshan_fatima_alvi@yahoo.com)  \n** Professor, Department of Science Education Institute of Education & Research, University of the Punjab,  \nLahore, email: [drrarpu@gmail.com](drrarpu@gmail.com)  \nIntroduction  \nThe Significant transformation has taken place in higher education institutions during the second half of the twentieth century (Staley & Trinkle, 2011). As the number of institutions and students' enrolment is increasing, different leadership behavioral styles are also emerging (John, Rowley, & Hu 2009; Daft, 2005). The leader’s behavior influences on all aspects of the organization’s performance that stimulate the employees to commence new projects for the completion of desired objectives (Mangi, Abidi, Soomro, Ghumro, & Jalbani, 2011).  \nResearch studies about leadership behavior in organizations have been initiated since the last ten decades (Al-Malki & Juan, 2018) . Consecutively the theorists concentrated on the qualities and traits of the leader that foster the performance of the organizations (Halaychik, 2016). During the theoretical development, Bass and Bass (2008) concluded that these efforts lead to the evolution of trait theory by Psychologist Gordon Allport in 1936 that explored the leader’s personality traits. With the time, researchers switched their concentration from the individual leadership towards leadership affected by a group(Lord, Day, Zaccaro, Avolio, & Eagly, 2017) . They evolved around the behavior of the leader influenced regarding by followers group. Trait theory was followed by a behavioral theory that was originated by the behaviors ofthe leaders.  \nWithin the perspective of historical literature regarding leader behavior, there are many reviews of different approaches and theories. Hooijberg, Lane, and Diverse (2010) highlighted the behavioral approaches to leadership ranging from Fiedler's (1967) LPC theory to House's (1971) Path-goal approach to Quinn's (1988) competing values formation (CVF) and Bass' (1985) transformational leadership theory.  \nFred Fiedler was a social scientist w","cbCaiaSf7qRybHIw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaSf7qRybHIw","pdf",309991,14,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Background and leadership theories\n## Task-oriented leadership definitions\n## Link to higher education policy reform challenges","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To examine the relationship between task-oriented leaders’ behavior and organizational performance in higher education institutions, and to see how leaders handle challenges created by gaps between planning and implementing policy reforms.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research data collected?\",\"answer\":\"A multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used, involving 324 participants including deans, department heads, and heads of quality enhancement cells from HEC-recognized universities in Punjab.\"},{\"question\":\"Which instruments were used to measure the study variables?\",\"answer\":\"Task-oriented leaders’ behavior was measured using the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ), while organizational performance was assessed using an Institutional Performance Questionnaire (IPQ) developed for the participants.\"}]","Relationship between Task-Oriented Leaders’ Behavior and Organizational Performance in Higher Education Institutions | PDF",1792082308,35]
