Data were collected from the sample group including primary school teachers and head teachers in District Nowshehra. Using structured questionnaires, data were collected from primary school teachers as part of a quantitative survey approach. The findings of the study provided some insights into the perspectives that educators have towards academic leadership and the effects that it has on their motivation. The results showed that head teachers' have a variety of leadership behaviors and practices, including the promotion of constructive relationships, the participation of teachers in decision-making, and the utilization of technology for the purpose of communication. Further, there is an emphasis placed on maintaining strong relationships among staff members, there is room for additional improvement in the level of participation of instructors in decision-making. In addition, there was a lack of uniformity in how the assistance and direction provided by school administrators in the improvement of instructional methods were interpreted by their subordinates. The research shed light on the favorable connections that exist between leadership skills and the motivation of teachers. According to the findings, effective leadership techniques have the potential to increase teacher engagement, which in turn improves the outcomes of student learning.
