description: This research is about the teachers' perceptions of the leadership behaviour of the secondary school principals in the state of Malacca. The objective of this study was to identify the leadership behaviour of the principals and to determine whether there is a relation between the leadership behaviour exhibited by the principals and demographic factors like the gender, race, age and administrative experience of the principals.   The Leadership Behaviour Description Questionnaire -Form 12 was used to identify and describe the leadership behaviour of the principals. The questionnaire measures 12 dimensions of leadership behaviour, that is, representation, persuasion, initiating structure, role assumption, production emphasis, superior orientation, consideration, reconciliation, tolerance of freedom, tolerance of uncertainty, integration and predictive accuracy. The 12 subscales can be collapsed to determine whether the leaders portray system oriented leadership or person oriented leadership. The sample comprised of ten principals and a total of 100 teachers responded to the questionnaires distributed. The data collected was used to identify the leadership behaviour exhibited by the principals. Most of the data was summarized descriptively.   The major findings of the study showed that all the principals exhibited desirable leadership behaviour in both dimensions of leadership behaviour, that is system orientation and person orientation. When compared to demographic factors, it was found there were differences in relation to gender, race, age and administrative experience.
