Factores de liderazgo docente que influyen en el desempeño estudiantil de la Carrera de Administración de Empresas de la Universidad de Cuenca en el periodo 2023-2024

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the factors of teacher leadership that influence the academic performance of students in the Business Administration program at the University of Cuenca. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) proposed by Bass and Avolio was used to measure the aspects of teacher leadership based on the students' perceptions, as well as those of the teachers as a self-evaluation. A descriptive design was applied, under a correlational inferential approach. The sample consisted of 22 teachers and 262 students. The analysis of descriptive traits, such as percentages, was used to describe the demographic data of the respondents and the data analysis was done through regression and Spearman's correlation. The results showed that the predominant leadership is full-range mixed leadership with 64% of teachers applying it. In addition, it was found that, in general, there is a considerable relationship between teacher leadership style and academic performance. However, the explanatory capacity of the leadership styles studied with performance is low.
