| Summary: | This inquiry studied the nature of leadership in Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and how
it functions in the management of the organisation.
The study used qualitative case study as the
methodology. The informants were PTA exco members,
teachers and parents. Semi-structured interviews
which were recorded act as the primary data of this
inquiry. Each recorded interview was transcribed
verbatim into the computer. There searcher has also
used documents provided by informants to support
the findings. Data were managed using a personal
computer and the 'cut and paste' method. The study found that the PTA leadership
focused more on the task related activities than
the relationship activities. Teachers were found
to be more actively involved than parents. The
communication between parents and teachers was
minimal and stunted the efforts of developing a PTA
which balances between carrying out various activities and simultaneously building a close knitted
relationship among members. |
