| Summary: | The purpose of this quantitative research was to investigate the gap between primary
and secondary school teachers in followership style at Adni Islamic School, Malaysia.
Surveys were completed by 92 teachers from both respective schools which included
the completion of the related questionnaire. The findings of this research show that all
Kelley’s Followership Styles (exemplary, alienated, pragmatist, conformist and
passive) represent the followership style of primary and secondary school teachers at
AIS. The most practised followership style is exemplary which amounted to 39
(42.3%) of teachers. Furthermore, the findings show that there was a significant
difference in followership styles between the male primary and secondary school
teachers of AIS. On the contrary, there was no any significant difference of
followership styles between the female primary and secondary school teachers of AIS.
In general, there was no any significant difference of followership styles between both
schools. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that the respective
educational organization structures maintain the domination of exemplary followership
style and enhance followership, since it is especially related to help followers achieve
exemplary level that is be expected to promote higher levels of organization
performance. Suggestions concerning further research on the subject of followership
are presented.
