Popis: The study analysed the relationship between democratic style of leadership and performance of teachers in Uganda. The study employed a correlational descriptive research design with quantitative and qualitative paradigms. A sample of 72 respondents out of 155 target population was chosen using a table advanced by Morgan & Kreijcie (1970). Data was garnered utilising questionnaires and interview schedule and analyzed employing Descriptive statistics and Inferential analyses for quantitative data and systematic content analysis was utilised for analyzing qualitative information .The research study findings came up with a significant correlation between democratic style of leadership and performance of teachers, a case of primary schools in Rukungiri district in Uganda. It was therefore concluded that democratic leadership style has a potential to improve performance of teachers than other leadership styles like laissez-faire and autocratic leadership styles. The scientific research study recommended that democratic leadership style should be dominantly used by Head teachers so as to tap its benefits of participatory decision making and increased employee commitment in school organizations.
