An investigation of the relationship between administrator leadership style and teacher moraleBhella, Surjit Kaur 14 February 1975 (has links)
Industry, business, military and other government agencies
are increasingly recognizing the significance of human factors in the
productivity of complex organizations. Educational institutions are
no exception to this fact. It is assumed that morale and productivity
are related to the managerial style of the supervisor. Leaders are
faced with the challenge of directing the work group toward the target
of increased productivity while at the same time maximizing member
satisfaction.
The basic research problem of this study was to investigate
the relationship between leadership style of high school principals
(in terms of their Concern for Production and Concern for People)
and certain dimensions of teacher morale. The null hypothesis
which guided this study was that there was no significant relationship
between teacher perceptions of administrative behavior and
teacher morale.
A stratified random sampling technique was used to select
132 teachers from ten high schools in the state of Oregon. The results
are based on 126 returns, 90 male and 36 female respondents.
Principal Leadership Style Questionnaire was used to measure two
dimensions (Concern for People and Concern for Production) of administrative
behavior. Purdue Teacher Opinionaire was used to
measure ten factors of teacher morale.
All hypotheses were tested at .05 level of confidence. The
first primary hypothesis asserting that there would be no partial
correlation between administrative dimensions and Teacher Rapport
with Principal was rejected. The second primary hypothesis that
there would be no partial correlation between administrative dimensions
and Satisfaction with Teaching was accepted. Partial correlation
was 4ppliedto analyze the primary hypotheses by eliminating
the effects of secondary hypotheses (Rapport Among Teachers,
Teacher Salary, Teacher Load, Curriculum Issues, Teacher Status,
Community Support of Education, School Facilities, Community
Pressures, Age and Sex). T-test based on regression coefficients
was applied to analyze the secondary hypotheses. Out of 20 secondary
hypotheses tested, five of them were rejected.
Analysis of the primary and secondary hypotheses concluded
that Curriculum Issues, Rapport with Principal and Teacher Salary
are positively related to both the dimensions of administrative behavior.
Rapport Among Teachers was positively related to Concern
for People but not Production. Satisfaction with Teaching, Teacher
Load, Teacher Status, Community Support of Education, School
Facilities and Services, Community Pressures, Age and Sex of the
teachers are not related to the perceived leadership style of the
principal. Teachers Satisfaction with Teaching is probably related
mostly to those things that happen directly with pupils inside the
classroom over which principals have little influence.
Results of the two administrative dimensions indicated that a
principal's leadership behavior is perceived by his faculty in various
ways. However, on the average, administrators were rated high on
both the "Production" and "People" dimensions of administrative
behavior and perceived as having a "6,7" or "7,8" leadership style
as described by Blake and Mouton (1964).
Analysis of this research further suggest that educational administrators
investigated in this study seem to have above average
skills in the eyes of their faculty in promoting both goal achievement
and member satisfaction. It is recommended that the design of this
study be replicated on a larger teacher population and sample size
in different geographical areas. / Graduation date: 1975

Perceptions of Cyberbullying from Secondary School Administrators in TexasMitzner, Kris Doreen 2011 December 1900 (has links)
This mixed method study examined perceptions and experiences of secondary school administrators in Texas regarding cyberbullying. It was designed to gather quantitative information related to cyberbullying in secondary school campuses in Texas as well as descriptive details from the qualitative portion of the survey and follow up interviews.
Data were collected from an electronic survey and follow up interviews. The results were analyzed statistically and for emerging themes. Six themes emerged from the qualitative survey questions and interviews. These themes were: 1) common definitions and descriptions, 2) target on individuals, 3) effect on school climate, 4) speed of replication and permanence of information, 5) difference between public and private information, and 6) need for education.
The perception from secondary school administrators was that cyberbullying incidents are appearing in the majority of secondary schools in Texas and it is important for administrators to understand and respond to cyberbullying.

Evaluation Measures: Do They Measure the Special Education Administrator's Roles and Responsibilities by Which They Are Held Accountable under NCLB and IDEA 2004Smith, Sandra F. 10 May 2007 (has links)
Special education is a field inherent with compliance and accountability issues. Special Education Administrators are tasked with the responsibility of implementing programs and maintaining compliance with state and federal standards while ensuring high quality educational performance. This research examined how the current Special Education Administrators are being held accountable under NCLB and IDEA. In addition, the previous roles and responsibilities of Special Education Administrator were reviewed in order to provide background information and to provide insight into Special Education Administrators' perceptions of key responsibilities under NCLB and IDEA 2004. The guiding questions for this study are: (1) What do Special Education Administrators perceive as their role and responsibilities under NCLB and IDEA 2004? (2) Do Special Education Administrators perceive their evaluation tool as an adequate measure of the current roles and responsibilities by which they are held accountable under NCLB and IDEA 2004? (3) Does the criteria by which Special Education Administrators are evaluated reflect what the research supports as those components related to roles and responsibilities under NCLB and IDEA 2004?
The research design included quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis. The population for this study was stratified sample of 30 Special Education Administrators for the Commonwealth of Virginia. An online survey was utilized to conduct the initial research. In addition, in-depth interviews of special education administrators were conducted in order to gain a better understanding of how they are currently being held accountable.
Research revealed that Special Education Administrators perceive they are currently being held accountable under NCLB and IDEA; though research concludes that current performance evaluation methodology does not measure the professional standards, including the roles and responsibilities of the Special Education Administrator. The conclusions of this study emphasize the importance of examining the performance evaluation procedures for Special Education Administrators in the Commonwealth of Virginia. / Ph. D.

The Impact of the Accountability Movement on Principal Evaluation: Understanding the Role of Formative Versus Summative AssessmentStrong, Dawn 27 October 2016 (has links)
This study analyzed the required inclusion of school test scores in the yearly evaluation of school principals within the current school reform and standards and accountability movements of both the federal and state departments of education. Extant data from a single school district in Oregon was used for this study, and included: (a) district-wide elementary principal summative performance evaluation scores, (b) district-wide fourth and fifth grade fall and spring reading curriculum-based measures scores curriculum-based measures, (c) 2013 and 2014 spring reading scores from the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS-R), and (d) student demographic variables. The student non-academic predictor variables (demographic risk factors) included in the study were (a) attendance, (b) English Language Proficiency (ELP), (c) Free and Reduced Meals (FARMS), (d) percent Other-than-White, and (e) Special Education. Multiple regression analyses were used to determine which assessment and/or non-assessment factors accounted for differences between principals’ summative evaluation scores. The results indicated that Summative Principal Ratings are poor predictors of the academic success of all students whether using large-scale summative assessment (OAKS-R) or formative assessments (easyCBM), with all measures only accounting for a miniscule portion of the Summative Principal Rating variance. However, demographic variables were slightly more related to the Summative Principal Rating. Practical implications of using student test scores to hold principals accountable for the academic results of all students are discussed in relation to district administrative policy and placement procedures for administrators and teachers, examining the behaviors and practices of teachers’ whose students have shown the most gains, and using these successful teacher practices a basis for teacher-to-teacher district-wide professional development. Finally, suggestions for future research in the areas of improving principal evaluation systems and the study of direct and indirect impacts principals have on student success and achievements are discussed.
