Behavioral leadership styles refer to the behavioral approaches faculty members applied in the classroom.  Job performance is the sum total of a teacher’s execution in their classes. This study aimed to determine the behavioral leadership styles in relation to faculty members’ job performance in the three selected colleges, namely the College of Arts and Sciences, Teachers College, and College of Business Administration of the University of Bohol during the school year 2012 – 2013 and benefits in the process of devising mechanisms to improve quality of behavioral styles to job performance. Quantitative descriptive studies were utilized employing a standardized tool to determine the behavioral leadership styles of the faculty, the researcher-made questionnaires for the profile, and documentary analysis taken from the data of the University Human Resource Office was used in determining the job performance of the teaching employees and In-Depth-Interview (IDI) among faculty members of the three colleges. It made use of frequencies, percentages, and Chi-Square. Results showed that leadership style is not a predictor of faculty’s job performance. However, the job performance of the faculty with a task-oriented leadership style is significantly better than the people.
