Abstract

The administrator having appropriate leadership styles will be more competent to handle their jobs. The administrators will be professionally more competent by possessing the suitable leadership styles. The productivity of the institutions depends on the efficient management by the administrators by implementing the suitable leadership styles. Therefore, this study is an endeavour to specify the influence of leadership styles on the professional growth of administrators. The sample size consisted of 500 administrators selected through simple random sampling. In this study, academic administrators from colleges and universities gave information of their leadership styles and professional growth by employing the instrument of Shyji, p. (2014) and Nadeem & Tariq�s Professional Development Index Scale (2016). In the study, the results reveal that the leadership styles predict the change in the professional growth of academic administrators. The professional growth of administrators show positive and significant relation with the leadership styles of administrators and thus different skill development programs and workshops should be organized to further exalt the leadership behaviour in administrators and thus improve their effectiveness as administrators which in turn influence their professional growth
