Data was collected from 637 college faculty members and 170 principals of Degree colleges situated in 34 districts of the Punjab, Pakistan. The questionnaire for this study consisted of a combination of instruments. It comprised; a) four leader behaviors b) task structure c) acceptance of leader, d) job Expectancies and e) the Job Descriptive Index. The questionnaire, which was administered to the principals, was Role Ambiguity scale and Anxiety and Stress Scale. Data was analyzed using ANCOVA through SPSS.

Further tests are clearly needed for having sound evidence to evaluate the merits of the path-goal theory of leadership.
