The type of leadership exemplified in educational organizations has a significant role to play in organizational success or failure. Using a correlational research design, we investigated the effects of leadership behaviors exhibited by leaders in various higher education institutions in the country (as perceived by 14 Filipino graduate scholars) on productivity (measured in terms of passing rates in board examinations in 2016). Results showed that the presence of more leadership behaviors (concerned with both productivity and people) are strongly associated with greater organizational productivity, while leader- follower relationships and productivity did not show significant association. The educational leader’s people and task orientations were established to have complementary roles in predicting school productivity. The data derived from this study also showed consistent patterns with respect to the underlying relationships proposed by various trait and behavioral theories of leadership and through the application of the Leadership Grid.
