The purpose of this study was to identify and compare the perceptions of public school principals, teachers, and key district personnel regarding the categories of barriers to the instructional leadership of principals. The subjects included 53 principals, 30 key district personnel, and 377 teachers. Subjects rated each of the 63 questionnaire items according to the degree that each was perceived as a barrier to the principal's instructional leadership performance. / Data were analyzed by calculating frequency distributions and percentages for demographic data, means and standard deviations to compare respondent groups' perceptions of the categories of barriers to the principal's instructional leadership, and a One-Way Analysis of Variance and Tukey's Post Hoc Comparison procedure to compare significant differences in respondent groups' perceptions of the categories of barriers to the principal's instructional leadership. / The results of this study indicated principals perceived that their instructional leadership was inhibited by factors listed in the categories of Paperwork, Conferences, Autonomy/Power, and System/Organizational Factors; key district personnel perceived that principals' instructional leadership was inhibited by factors listed in the Role Expectations and Behavior category of barriers; and teachers perceived none of the categories of barriers as inhibiting principals' instructional leadership. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 51-12, Section: A, page: 3978. / Major Professor: William Snyder. / Thesis (Ed.D.)--The Florida State University, 1990.
