This research aimed to determine the association between school heads' leadership skills and the job performance of secondary school teachers. The study's objectives were to identify the leadership skills of secondary school heads, assess teachers' job performance, and determine the association between the leadership skills of school heads and teachers’ job performance in district Jhang. The researchers developed questionnaires to measure the school heads’ leadership skills and the job performance of secondary school teachers. Taking secondary schools in the district as population, 30 secondary schools from tehsil Jhang were selected as a study sample. A stratified sampling technique was used to collect the data. The study found a weak positive relationship between school heads’ leadership skills and secondary school teachers' job performance. The study suggests that orientation sessions and refresher courses might be organized to meet the needs of learning leadership skills by school heads. The study was delimited to district Jhang only; another study with a larger sample size is recommended. Furthermore, it is also recommended that a survey be conducted that may explore the mediation and moderation role of factors in the relationship between school leadership skills and teachers' job performance.
