    (University of Dar es Salaam, 2014) Jasper, Elinsia
    The study sought to explore the Managerial constraints facing female heads of secondary schools in Dar es Salaam in its three districts of Ilala, Kinondoni and Temeke. Specifically it intends to: (i) examine the managerial constraints female heads of secondary schools faces in performing their duties; (ii) examine leadership styles used by female heads of schools in performing their duties; and (iii) establish strategies devised by female heads of secondary schools to cope with the management constraints of secondary schools. This study used qualitative research approach, with a sample size of eighteen respondents. Purposive sampling was used to select participants of study. The study employed the embedded case study design. Data collection tools were documentary review and semi-structured interviews. Data were subjected to content analysis and direct quotations from the respondents were included.The main findings of the study revealed that female heads of school experienced constraints including cultural and social barriers, persistence of sexual harassment, lack of managerial skills as well as negative attitudes from the teachers, students and community. Also the study finds the use of participatory leadership as the mostly used leadership style. Additionally the employed strategies to cope with managerial constraints include the use of SMT, delegation of responsibilities, consulting DEOs, consulting documents of leadership management as well as inviting school inspectors. The study recommended that female heads of school should use a participative leadership style that would encourage them in delegation of duties to their staff, decision making an involvement of other stakeholders in day to day running of school. The government should conduct workshops and seminars/training intended to support them. Lastly, female heads of school should be encouraged to achieve leadership positions since they can manage the roles of leaders.
