Abstract
The study focused oil the administrative effectiveness of principals as perceived by teachers in Delta State secondary schools. The study also examined the effects of some demographic variables such as status (experience), gender and location on principals’ administrative effectiveness. Three research questions were posed to guide the study and three null hypotheses were tested. The target population of the study consisted of all the principals and teachers in Delta. State public secondary schools as of August 2001. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select the schools and teachers from 25 Local Government Areas of Delta State: 1.7 schools and principals with 675 teachers selected from 5 Local Government Areas were used for the study. Two sets of questionnaires were designed and utilized for the study. These were“Principal Demographic Inventory” (PDI) and“Teachers’ Perception of Principals’ Administrative Performance” TPPAP). The latter was the main instrument and it has a reliability of 0.57. The data obtained were analyzed using statistical tools such as simple percentages, mean scores, t-test and one way analysis of variance. The findings from the results showed that principals in Delta state secondary schools were generally effective in their administrative task performance. The female principals were slightly more effective than their male counter-parts. There was a significant difference between principals of merit grade status and principal grades 1 and 11. There was also a significant difference between rural and urban principals In view of the findings of the study, the researcher recommended that areas of least effectiveness should be examined and improved upon, more female principals should be made to head schools, and incentives should be given to principals in rural areas and principals should endeavour to delegate duties properly for very effective administration....
