This book was released on 1975 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled A Gender Study on Leadership: The Female and Male Principals of Hong Kong Secondary Schools as Perceived by Teachers and the Principals Themselves Submitted by Alice Kingman Lo Ip Shan for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in December 1996 Although much has been written on gender and leadership, there is still a lack of consensus as to whether women and men lead in the same or different ways. This study is an exploration of: (i) female and male principals' task/relationship leadership traits and transformational/transactional/laissez-faire leadership styles as perceived by teachers and the principals themselves, and (ii) how four representative principals (two female and two male) were perceived by their teachers and themselves in terms of their leadership behaviours in performing various administrative duties at school. The instrument used for the quantitative part of the study was a three-section survey. A total of 5,044 questionnaires was sent to 194 schools. The major findings of the quantitative study were: (1) female principals were in general perceived by teachers to be significantly more task-oriented than the male principals, but there was no difference of statistical significance in the perception of female and male principals' relationship leadership traits, (2) female principals were perceived by teachers as significantly higher than their male counterparts in the display of all four transformational leadership factors, one transactional leadership factor and significantly lower in the display of the laissez-faire leadership style, (3) female principals were perceived by teachers as significantly more frequent in performing both task-oriented and relationship-oriented responsibilities than male principals do in general, (4) female and male principals ranked themselves very similarly in describing their own task/relationship leadership traits, transformational/transactional/laissez-faire leadership styles and frequency in performing task/relationship-oriented responsibilities, (5) findings were generally convergent with those reported above when principals were also compared by type of school and by the same gender, and (6) teachers tended to rank principals consistently lower in principals' task, relationship, transformational, transactional and higher in laissez-faire leadership behaviours than principals ranked themselves. Data for the qualitative part of the study were gathered by 20 individual interviews. The questions asked in the interviews centered on ten core school administrative duties that included: (i) setting of goals; (ii) seeing to needs of students; (iii) decision-making; (iv) commitment to learning; (v) communication with staff; (vi) motivation; (vii) professional development; (viii) review and evaluation; (ix) conflict management; and (x) crisis management. The interviews were analysed based on the transformational, transactional, laissez-faire, task and relationship leadership behaviours of the four principals. The major findings of the qualitative study were: (1) the descriptions of the leadership behaviours of the four principals by teachers and themselves supported the rankings assigned to the principals in the quantitative section of the study, and (2)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the relationship between principal leadership practices and teacher morale. A sample of ten public secondary schools, with a total of 664 teachers and ten principals, participated in this study. The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI)(Kouzes and Posner, 2002) was used to gather information regarding the principals' leadership behaviors. Teacher morale was measured by using the Purdue Teacher Opinionaire (PTO)(Bentley & Rempel, 1968). The PTO provides a total score as a single measure of the general level of teacher morale while also providing ten subscale scores on different dimensions of teacher morale. Demographic data was gathered through the Tennessee State Department of Education website and through personal interviews with school officials. Research questions explored teachers' overall level of morale, self-perceived and observer-perceived leadership practices of the principal, differences in teacher morale between less experienced and more experienced teachers, the specific leadership behaviors affecting teacher morale, and organizational and structural dimensions of each school that may impact teacher morale. Results showed that teachers who participated in this study exhibited a moderately high degree of teacher morale. The principals who took part in this study exhibited a higher rating in self-perceived leadership practices than the level found in existing research. Principals in this study also indicated that they engaged in the identified leadership practices more frequently than their teachers' perceptions of their behavior. There were significant differences between teachers with five or fewer years of teaching experience and those with more than five years experience. In measuring the relationship between leadership practices and teacher morale, a positive correlation was revealed pertaining to each of the five factors. In the analysis of school demographic characteristics and teacher morale, it was revealed that there was a relatively strong, positive relationship between teacher morale and Act scores as well as student matriculation to college. Recommendations for future research are presented.
