The Journament Score is computed from platform statistics — reader engagement,
accessibility, publication timeliness, keyword breadth, community impact and content
distribution — into a single 0–100 figure, recalculated as new articles and metadata
are indexed. Dimensions that cannot be measured for this journal are excluded rather
than estimated. It is independent of the paid AI Quality Analysis, which never
affects this score or the ranking.

About This Journal
Previous studies have focused on the effective aspects of leadership in education and neglected the toxic aspects
of educational leadership which is important to identify the behaviours of school leaders who intentionally and
unknowingly inflict enduring damage on their followers and school organisation. Thus, this study examined the
relationship between toxic leadership behaviour, followership characteristics and their productivity in Lagos State
senior secondary schools. Three hypotheses (tested at 0.05 level of significance). With the study’s foundation
anchored on correlational and descriptive research designs, its population comprised all Principals, Vice-principals,
and teachers in public senior secondary schools in Lagos State. The sample sizes were 98 Principals, 196 Viceprincipals
and 980 teachers after stratifying the population into Education Districts and thereafter selected through
purposive sampling technique. Analysis was carried out using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearsons
Product Moment Correlation Analysis and Regression Analysis were used to test the three hypotheses. Findings
indicate that a positive and non-significant relationship existed between toxic leadership behaviour and
followership commitment to work in Lagos State senior secondary schools (r = 0.025, ρ>0.05); the study also
found that there was a negative and non-significant relationship between toxic leadership behaviour and
followership loyalty in Lagos State senior secondary schools (r = -0.017, ρ>0.05), and the study further found that
there is a positive relationship among toxic leadership behaviour, followership commitment to work, and
followership loyalty with followership productivity in Lagos State senior secondary schools. It is concluded that
toxic leadership is present in Lagos State public senior secondary schools, as evidenced in the study. The study
therefore recommended that school teachers should be exposed to professional development training and
opportunities particularly in leadership before placement for leadership positions, as leadership preparation and
training are central to school effectiveness and school improvement, and qualified consultants with expertise in
organisational leadership should be engaged during the search and selection processes of school leaders so as to
detect toxic leaders in waiting.
