Academic Leadership and Work-related Attitudes in Public University of Afghanistan

The essential part of the university is lectureship; lecturers are like role models. When university lecturers determine leadership habits, they will be more beneficial and productive. This study examined the perspective of faculty members on academic leadership, work-related attitudes, and the relationship between academic leadership and work-related attitudes. The quantitative study used an adapted questionnaire with 75 item questions for data collection. The questionnaire was piloted on 30 faculty members to determine its validity and reliability. The questionnaires were delivered to 400 public university faculty members in Afghanistan's eastern and capital zones using an online google form. Of 400 questionnaires given, only 304 completed questionnaires were returned within the time frame. The quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the assistance of SPSS. The descriptive statistics were used to analyse the frequency, percentage, and mean, while inferential statistics of Pearson Correlation were used to analyse the relationship between the two variables. The analysis of data revealed that faculty members have a high level of perspective of academic leadership (mean 4.69) and work-related attitudes (mean 4.68). The faculty members also have a heightened perception of each component of academic leadership and work-related attitudes. Despite high perspective in all components of academic leadership and work-related attitudes, the analysis revealed no significant between academic leadership and work-related attitudes among faculty members of Afghanistan public universities. The study recommends several future studies that can be conducted to strengthen the findings of this study.
