Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the job satisfaction levels of assistant high school principals serving within the geographical region of one intermediate unit in south central Pennsylvania as measured by the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. The study used four instruments to collect data: a demographic questionnaire, the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), open-ended research questions, and interview questions. The three questions that guided the study were: a) What factors do high school assistant principals perceive lead to job satisfaction? b) What factors, present or absent, do high school assistant principals perceive lead to job dissatisfaction? c) What role does the school district play in enhancing factors that lead to job satisfaction as perceived by high school assistant principals? Twenty four assistant high school principals serving in public schools located within three counties in one intermediate unit in south central Pennsylvania were surveyed using an on-line Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ Long Form). Demographic data pertaining to age, gender, experience, school size and location, hours spent at work, and salary were collected through the use of the demographic questionnaire. Additional data were obtained through the open-ended research questions and individual interviews. The majority (83%) of the high school assistant principals participating in this study expressed satisfaction with their jobs. As a group, the assistant principals in this study were "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with all of the 20 dimensions as measured by the MSQ. The mean general satisfaction rating of participants was 3.68 out of a possible high of 5.0. The greatest area of satisfaction was Moral Values and the greatest area of dissatisfaction was Company Policies/Procedures. Specifically, the assistant high school principals in this study reported that being able to carry out their assigned duties without violating their personal beliefs was the most important factor contributing to job satisfaction. Respondents also reported satisfaction with working directly with students and seeing them succeed, helping teachers to improve instruction, and being directly involved with running and supervising the building. The study found that in regards to variables contributing to job dissatisfaction, respondents reported dissatisfaction over dealing with difficult parents, with the lack of appreciation received, and with the amount of time the position required. Conflicts with staff, disciplinary issues, and the ever increasing demands of the job were also factors leading to dissatisfaction. The research revealed that assistant high school principals feel that there are some things school districts can do to make the job more satisfying, including increasing professional development opportunities, maintaining a student focus, reducing the number of expectations, and increasing the level of compensation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After seven decades of empirical research about the topic, job satisfaction has proven to be a critical managerial factor in many professional fields, providing critical analysis of worker productivity and organizational effectiveness. However, although educational research has begun to address the impact of administrative leadership, there are still scant empirical findings about job satisfaction in the educational context, especially studies focused on the assistant principal position. With ever-increasing scrutiny on public school accountability, having data regarding AP job satisfaction is a powerful tool for principals and other educational leaders, holding the promise of improving AP productivity, reducing AP turnover, and, thereby, improving both school leadership and student achievement. This study about practicing APs in Alabama (N = 518) was one of the first statewide studies that specifically addressed the AP position at all school levels: elementary, middle and high school. This study (a) involved developing a valid and reliable AP-focused job satisfaction instrument to capture this needed data and (b) demonstrated research protocols and analytical techniques needed to analyze the dependent variable, overall AP job satisfaction. The researcher investigated the influence of AP personal characteristics (e.g., age, ethnicity, gender, highest educational level), cast as control variables, on overall AP job satisfaction. This study also addressed independent variables measuring both general job facets (e.g., salary, autonomy) of the AP position and job-specific facets (e.g., student discipline, shared decision making) of the AP Position. The job facet variables were the predictor variables of interest in the analysis.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a lack of information regarding job satisfaction among high school principals in the state of Missouri. For this study, 108 high school principals in the state of Missouri responded to an internet survey using the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) to explore the specific variables of age, gender, salary level, number of assistant principals, school size, AYP status, education level, and years as a principal to determine which variables may or may not contribute to job status. A discriminant functional analysis (DFA) was conducted to determine the extent the variables play a role in explaining the level of satisfaction of principals in the study. The findings of this study indicate that high school principals in Missouri are generally satisfied with their jobs. Respondents were most satisfied with social service, achievement, and activity and were least satisfied with advancement, compensation, and security. The DFA indicated that that principals felt less satisfaction with the ability to implement new ideas when their salary was [greater than] $100000 and were at schools with [greater than] 2000 students. Principals felt the most satisfaction with the ability to implement new ideas when their salary was $75000-$100000 and were at a school with 1001-1400 students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book highlights the importance and complexity of the assistant principalship. As noted in all the chapters, the assistant principal is a critical partner in creating a professional learning community that serves all students well. Often neglected or ignored in the literature, assistant principals are more than disciplinarians and student or building managers. In the best of all worlds, they provide the professional support and partnership with their principals to create high-performing schools. Unfortunately, as noted in some of the chapters, the ideal and actual roles that assistant principals exercise often create a gap that seethes with disillusionment and dissatisfaction. The challenge for the profession is to better align the roles and expectations of assistant principals so that they can experience the best of being a school leader.

Book excerpt: This qualitative study explored job satisfaction and stress among principals in Pennsylvania. The study took place in seven public school districts from 1 county in southeastern Pennsylvania that serves students from Kindergarten to 12th grade. Instruments used in this study included the Principal Satisfaction and Stress Questionnaire (PSSQ), which is a survey with Likert scale and open-ended questions designed for this study, and individual interviews. Thirty four principals participated in the PSSQ and 9 principals participated in the interviews. Principals involved in the study led either elementary, middle, or high schools. The results of the study suggest that there are factors which directly affect job satisfaction for principals and also factors which contribute to the stress of the position. According to principals, spending time with students and teachers positively affects job satisfaction. Principals also reported that policy instructions from the Pennsylvania Department of Education negatively affect job satisfaction. Principals indicated that challenging policy demands and overwhelming mandates were the greatest stressor of the position. The second greatest stressor faced by principals was time constraints. Principals stated that additional support and limiting state mandates would increase job satisfaction.

Book excerpt: Far too little attention has been paid to the role that assistant principals have in the development of high performing schools. Impact provides specific, practical, and replicable leadership strategies for today’s assistant principal. Impact describes how to build meaningful principal/assistant principal leadership teams. The opportunities that assistant principals have to be the instructional leader of the school and the voice of the faculty, and the principal; in other words, how to “lead from the middle” are examined. Impact is a practitioner’s guide for the assistant principal striving to be a school leader. Target audiences include teachers wishing to become assistant principals, current assistant principals looking to excel and lead careers of significance, colleges of education working with graduate students who are being trained in P-12 school administration, and sitting school principals looking to expand the often under-utilized, potential of the assistant principal. This book examines the art and science of the assistant principal as a school leader; as a leader who impacts the lives of teachers and students. Great assistant principals matter.
