The current work intended to explore the perceptions about leadership as reported by teachers who hold positions of leadership, management, and coordination. In specific, we proposed to investigate which leadership dimension is perceived as more frequent (i.e., transformational, transactional, or laissez-fair) and further explore the endorsement of specific categories within each leadership dimension. Also, these leadership profiles were tested across gender and age. Finally, the associations between leadership dimensions and outcomes were also investigated. We expect to find that: 1) the transformational and transactional models values of leadership will be predominant in comparasion with the laissez fair model value; 2) the perceptions of men and women will differ (genre); 3) The perceptions of participants will vart with age; and 4) the transformational and transactional leadership dimesnsions and respective categories would be associated with more positive outcomes (i.e., efficiency, satisfaction and extra effort).
