The main purpose of this study is to investigate leadership among secondary school Agricultural Science teachers and their job performance in Akwa Ibom State. To achieve the aim of this study, three research hypotheses were generated to direct the study. Literature was reviewed based on the variables derived from the postulated hypotheses. Survey research design was adopted for the study. Four hundred (400) respondents were randomly selected for the study. The selection was done through the stratified and simple random sampling techniques. The questionnaire was the main instrument used for data collection. Pearson product moment correlation analysis was employed to test the hypotheses directing the study. The hypotheses were subjected to testing at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the analysis revealed that leadership variables such as creativity, communication competences, and human relation competences, ability to take decisions, health and fitness and intellectual capacity of Agricultural Science teachers significantly relate to their job performance.
