The Role of Head Teachers in Ensuring Quality and Standards in Secondary Scho...iosrjce
The purpose of the study was to investigate the role of head teachers in enforcing quality assurance
and standards in secondary schools in Eldoret West Distrct. Based on the findings of the study, this paper
specifically examines the role of the head teachers in ensuring quality and standards in secondary schools. The
study utilized the descriptive research design. The study targeted head teachers and teachers in both public and
private secondary schools in Eldoret West District. To obtain the study sample, the target population was
stratified into two categories, i.e. private and public schools. From each stratum, 30 per cent of the total
numbers of schools were selected for inclusion in the study. All the head teachers from the selected schools
automatically qualified to participate while the teachers were selected through simple random sampling. Data
was collected using a questionnaire and an interview schedule. The collected data was analyzed descriptively
using means and percentages. This is because the mean is considered as the most efficient measure of central
tendency. The data analysis was done with the aid of Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) software
which makes it easy to compare variables whose relationships are being studied. The study findings revealed
that the procedure of supervision involved the head teacher calling a meeting to discuss the purpose of
supervision, the objectives of supervision, both parties agreeing on the objectives and as well as determining the
criteria of supervision. The role of the head teacher in supervision include: enforcing teacher compliance with
quality and standards in teaching, providing leadership towards enforcing quality and standards, providing
moral and material support and motivating the teachers during the process of supervision. The study
recommends that there is need to incorporate the elements of quality and standards in the supervision criteria
and purpose.
The curriculum management strategies of highly experienced and less experienced secondary school
principals were compared in this study. The study was guided by a single research topic, and a null hypothesis was tested at the 0.05 level of significance. The study was conducted using a descriptive survey research approach. The participants in this study were 106 secondary school principals and vice principals from 44 public secondary schools in the Nnewi Education Zone. Because the research population was manageable, no sampling was done. As a result, the study’s population size was made up of 106 secondary school principals and vice principals. Data was collected using a questionnaire produced by a researcher called the Curriculum Management Practice Scale. Two professionals independently verified the tool. Cronbach alpha was employed to examine the instrument’s internal
consistency, and reliability values of 0.75 were obtained. The researcher and five research assistants used direct administration to collect data for the study. There was a 100% return rate. The study question was answered using arithmetic mean and standard deviation scores, and the null hypothesis was tested using a t-test at the 0.05 level of significance. The study’s findings indicated that there is no discernible difference in the curriculum management techniques of highly experienced and less experienced secondary school principals. Most school heads do a review of all course curricula and hold meetings to establish what type of extra-curricular activities are required. The study’s implications and findings were drawn.

Teacher Professional Competence and Elementary School Student Creativity in S...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The implementation of the 2013 Curriculum in the primary school education system in
Indonesia aims to develop students' creativity as one of the 21st-century skills. This research describes the
correlation between the teachers’ professional competence and the primary school students’ creativity. The
problem in this research is whether the students’ creativity is correlated with the teachers’ professional
competence in primary schools. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to 1281 students in 26
primary schools. The teachers’ professional competence questionnaire consists of 6 items while the students’
creativity questionnaire consists of 14 items. The research samples were taken at simple random. The data
analysis method used Spearman correlation description analysis. Based on the results of the Spearmen
correlation test, it was found that: (1) there was a significant correlation between the teachers’ professional
competence and the elementary school students’ creativity; (2) category of correlation between the teachers’
professional competence and the students’ creativity was weak; (3) the direction of the correlation between the
teachers’ professional competence and the students’ creativity was positive. The correlation between the
teachers’ pedagogic competence and the students’ creativity shows the need for efforts to increase the teachers’
professional competence to increase the primary school students’ creativity.

Teachers Teaching Efficacy as a Predictor of Teachers Effectiveness in Nigeri...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This study examined the role of teaching efficacy as a predictor of teaching effectiveness in Nigeria
through a comprehensive literature review. The focus is on the Nigerian educational system, aiming to shed light
on the multifaceted influence of teaching efficacy on teacher motivation, instructional practices, student
achievement, professional development, and school culture. The goal is to inform educational stakeholders and
policymakers to enhance educational standards and student outcomes in Nigeria. The review underscores the
dimensions of teacher effectiveness, highlighting aspects such as content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge,
classroom management, differentiated instruction, assessment and feedback, relationship building, and continuous
professional development. Several studies in the Nigerian educational context consistently demonstrate a positive
correlation between teachers' self-efficacy and their effectiveness. Teachers with higher self-efficacy exhibit
improved teaching techniques, heightened student motivation and achievement, and greater job satisfaction.
Recommendations based on the literature review include advocating for comprehensive professional development
programs, promoting mentorship and collaboration among educators, fostering supportive school leadership,
integrating research-informed policies into educational practices, and encouraging further research to deepen the
understanding of teaching efficacy and effectiveness within the Nigerian context. The study underscores the
importance of addressing teaching efficacy in educational policies and practices to elevate teaching standards and
improve student outcomes in Nigeria.

In this research, the teaching competencies of elementary school teachers in the Northern Samar based on the National Competency Based Teacher Standards NCBTS . The competencies given by the NCBTS are social regard for learning, learning environment, diversity of learners, curriculum, planning, assessing, and reporting, community linkages, and personal growth and professional development. Findings showed that the school heads rated the teachers to have high competency in personal growth and professional development. They have reflected on the extent of the attainment of professional development goals. The competency of teachers on the curriculum aspect was evaluated by school heads to be satisfactory, different than the high competency evaluation of teachers themselves. The researcher proposed an action plan that may assist the teachers to sustain and enhance their strengths and make their weaknesses become their strengths. Argie L. TY | Felisa L.

School policies and students discipline are the heart of any education institution. Education is the basis of the official
policy on the purpose and programs of Education. White papers’ articulation of the purpose of Uganda’s education
system continues to be supreme guidance for the sector. The purpose of this study was to establish the influence
School policies on students’ discipline, to establish the influence of school policies on students’ discipline, to identify
the causes of students’ indiscipline in secondary schools and to establish the effects of school administration on
students’ discipline in Fort portal Municipality in Kabalore District. The study was carried out using a crosssectional
survey design to investigate the attitudes, opinions and feelings as well as experiences of teachers, students
and head teachers of the secondary schools of Fort portal Municipality, purposive sampling was used to get the
sample of respondents from head teachers and leaders of the locals while questionnaires was the main instrument of
data collection in this study, which was structured, and self-administered. The study found out that 81 respondents
accounting for 23.9% said that Universal secondary education is one of the influence of school policies, 60
respondents accounting for 17.9% supported compulsory Science subjects as another influence, 52 respondents
accounting for 15.4% supported trained teachers, 46 respondents accounting for 13.5% supported games and sports
or physical education, 28 accounting for 8.2% supported vocational subjects while 71 respondents accounting for
21.1% supported not registering students with division 9 at UCE school policies. The most effective strategy to
maintain discipline in school is by use of dialogue and creating an understanding among students especially their
leaders about the need to live in a disciplined environment both at school and beyond. Appreciation of this philosophy
is a key to discipline maintenance. Discipline issues should be a collective responsibility. Naturally this approach go
hand in hand with good academic performance.

An effective teaching contributes to the students’ performance and this
depends on qualified-trained teachers, school administration, parents and
conducive environment for teaching and learning. It is proven that students
are more successful in their academic achievements, in the societies where
teachers perceive their profession as their job. This paper explores the impact
of the society’s perception on teachers’ professionalism. The method
employed in this paper is qualitative by using interview technique and used
audio-recorded to ensure a complete transcript. The result indicated that in
some developing countries including Cameroon, Kenya and Fiji has various
reasons for their job. Teaching profession was affected by how the society
considers teachers whereby they are perceived as disadvantaged population
who cannot fully take part in the social and economic activities due to the
fact that their salary is very low compared other public servants. This low
salary and loss of respect of teachers by the society lead to the job
dissatisfaction and made the teaching profession as a transitional job before
waiting to move to another different professional field.

The Differences between Single Diode Model and Double Diode Models of a Solar...ssuser793b4e
This research paper systematically reviewed and investigated single
diode model and double diode model of a solar photovoltaic systems in terms
of accuracy, differences under major unknown PV parameters, different
optimization and fabrication. This research paper reviewed the differences and
the similarities between the single diode model and double diode model. From
the review, it was clear that single diode model has less computation time and
number of unknown parameters compared to double diode model. The double
diode model on its own superiority is more accurate under solar shading

Teacher Professional Competence and Elementary School Student Creativity in S...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The implementation of the 2013 Curriculum in the primary school education system in
Indonesia aims to develop students' creativity as one of the 21st-century skills. This research describes the
correlation between the teachers’ professional competence and the primary school students’ creativity. The
problem in this research is whether the students’ creativity is correlated with the teachers’ professional
competence in primary schools. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to 1281 students in 26
primary schools. The teachers’ professional competence questionnaire consists of 6 items while the students’
creativity questionnaire consists of 14 items. The research samples were taken at simple random. The data
analysis method used Spearman correlation description analysis. Based on the results of the Spearmen
correlation test, it was found that: (1) there was a significant correlation between the teachers’ professional
competence and the elementary school students’ creativity; (2) category of correlation between the teachers’
professional competence and the students’ creativity was weak; (3) the direction of the correlation between the
teachers’ professional competence and the students’ creativity was positive. The correlation between the
teachers’ pedagogic competence and the students’ creativity shows the need for efforts to increase the teachers’
professional competence to increase the primary school students’ creativity.

School policies and discipline of students: A case study of selected Secondar...Turyamureeba Silaji
School policies and students discipline are the heart of any education institution. Education is the basis of the official
policy on the purpose and programs of Education. White papers’ articulation of the purpose of Uganda’s education
system continues to be supreme guidance for the sector. The purpose of this study was to establish the influence
School policies on students’ discipline, to establish the influence of school policies on students’ discipline, to identify
the causes of students’ indiscipline in secondary schools and to establish the effects of school administration on
students’ discipline in Fort portal Municipality in Kabalore District. The study was carried out using a crosssectional
survey design to investigate the attitudes, opinions and feelings as well as experiences of teachers, students
and head teachers of the secondary schools of Fort portal Municipality, purposive sampling was used to get the
sample of respondents from head teachers and leaders of the locals while questionnaires was the main instrument of
data collection in this study, which was structured, and self-administered. The study found out that 81 respondents
accounting for 23.9% said that Universal secondary education is one of the influence of school policies, 60
respondents accounting for 17.9% supported compulsory Science subjects as another influence, 52 respondents
accounting for 15.4% supported trained teachers, 46 respondents accounting for 13.5% supported games and sports
or physical education, 28 accounting for 8.2% supported vocational subjects while 71 respondents accounting for
21.1% supported not registering students with division 9 at UCE school policies. The most effective strategy to
maintain discipline in school is by use of dialogue and creating an understanding among students especially their
leaders about the need to live in a disciplined environment both at school and beyond. Appreciation of this philosophy
is a key to discipline maintenance. Discipline issues should be a collective responsibility. Naturally this approach go
hand in hand with good academic performance.

An effective teaching contributes to the students’ performance and this
depends on qualified-trained teachers, school administration, parents and
conducive environment for teaching and learning. It is proven that students
are more successful in their academic achievements, in the societies where
teachers perceive their profession as their job. This paper explores the impact
of the society’s perception on teachers’ professionalism. The method
employed in this paper is qualitative by using interview technique and used
audio-recorded to ensure a complete transcript. The result indicated that in
some developing countries including Cameroon, Kenya and Fiji has various
reasons for their job. Teaching profession was affected by how the society
considers teachers whereby they are perceived as disadvantaged population
who cannot fully take part in the social and economic activities due to the
fact that their salary is very low compared other public servants. This low
salary and loss of respect of teachers by the society lead to the job
dissatisfaction and made the teaching profession as a transitional job before
waiting to move to another different professional field.

Automated Hybrid Smart Door Control System.pdfssuser793b4e
This research paper successfully designed, developed and implemented an automated hybrid smart door control system which has the ability to secure a home up to 92% electronically. This smart door system is designed and implemented by building a hardware made up of the Bluetooth module and fingerprint scanner which are interfaced with the Microcontroller system that uses +5V power supply. The written programs were interfaced into the microcontroller chips by plugging the Arduino USB cable into the laptop and upload the codes. The microcontroller chips helped in enrolling the users fingerprint into the fingerprint scanner and it automatically administers and saves the users fingerprint after enrollment. Furthermore, after all the processes the user places the enrolled or registered finger into the fingerprint scanner which either accepts or denies the user by triggering the solenoid lock to either unlock, lock or deny access. This process of unlocking and locking requires using Bluetooth and fingerprint to either lock or unlock the door smartly without stress and it can be done within one second that is why the Solenoid lock is used in building this security system. This automated hybrid smart door control system developed has curbed the problem of door breaking theft for about 92%, strengthened security and as well made it so easy for the physically challenged people to have access to their homes without third party assistance.

Review of the Implications of Uploading Unverified Dataset in A Data Banking ...ssuser793b4e
This review paper comprehensively detailed the methodologies involved in data analysis and theevaluation steps. It showed that steps and phases are the two main methodological parameters to be considered during data assessment for data of high qualities to be obtained.It is reviewed from this research that poor data quality is always caused by incompleteness, inconsistency, integrity and time-related dimensions and the four major factors that causes error in a dataset are duplication, commutative entries, incorrect values and black entries which always leads to catastrophe. This paper also reviewed the types of datasets, adopted techniques to ensure good data quality, types of data measurement and its classifications.Furthermore, the Kaggle site was used as a case study to show the trend of data growth and its consequences to the world and the data bankers. It is then deduced that low data quality which is caused as a result of errors during primary data mining and entries leads to wrong results which bring about the wrong conclusions. It was advised that critical data quality measures should be adopted by the data bankers such as Kaggle before uploading the data into their site to avoid catastrophe and harm to humans.Finally, the outlined solutions as reviewed in this paper will serve as a guide to data bankers and miners to obtain data of high quality, fit for use and devoid of a defect.
Qualitative research is concerned with feelings, ideas, or experiences. Finding insights that can result in testable hypotheses is the main goal of the data collection, which is frequently done in narrative form. During the exploratory phases of a study, educators use qualitative research to find patterns or fresh perspectives. A methodology called qualitative research is created to gather non-numerical data to produce insights. It is not statistical and is either semi-structured or unstructured. It is predicated on data gathered using a research methodology that provides an answer to the why. This article discussed the approaches to qualitative research, qualitative data collection methods, advantages and disadvantages of qualitative research and tools for analyzing qualitative data

pronounced and renowned researchers
[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] have done many related
researches in this field and they are well-
reviewed in this project work. The
researcher in [10] opined that among the
crucial roles that were to be played by the
principals the major ones include
maintenance of teacher’s welfare,
providing effective and efficient
leadership, carrying staffs along in
decision making and managing
instructional facilities in secondary
schools through which the job
performance of teachers and principals
can be enhanced.
The author [11] also opined that in
Nigeria, the administrative leader of
secondary school is the principal who is
responsible for all the day-to-day
administrative activities of secondary
schools with the purpose of adhering to
the policy to achieve the educational set
goals. Principalship as an administrative
position in secondary school is occupied
by an administrative head in charge of
tasks planning, controlling and
coordinating, including the management
of materials, time resources, finance and
as well as human which aimed at achieving
the school goals and objectives [12]. The
principal is entrusted with the
responsibility of improving the quality of
administration and instructional activities
through effective use of various strategies
to influence the teachers in carrying out
their respective teaching jobs.
Strategies can be defined contextually as
principals’ administrative plans and
activities mapped out towards motivating
the teachers to enhance their job
performances in secondary schools.
Principals’ administrative strategy is very
vital in educational institutions to assist
the teachers in carrying out their
instructional activities for quality
instructional delivery in schools [13][14].
Proper duty delegation to teachers,
involvement of teachers in decision
making, teachers’ welfare provision,
maintaining open communication and
adequate provision of instructional
facilities in schools as principals’
administrative strategies that is adopted to
ensure staffs effective job performance in
secondary schools [15][16].
Involving teachers in making decisions in
issues that affects their welfare in schools
remains not only an important strategy,
but also, a vital leadership style that
increases teachers’ job performances and
productivity [10][17][18].
Proper delegation of duties is an
administrative strategy adopted by
principals to motivate teachers and give
them sense of responsibility in school
administration. Furthermore, when
Principals delegate authority to teachers
properly, the teachers have been given
extra sense of belonging, responsibility,
recognition and as such, enhance their
professional images as well as job
performance [10].
According to [3], provision of teachers’
needs does not only entail adequate
provision of instructional facilities
(libraries, laboratories, textbooks,
accommodation), but also, attending to the
personal needs of the teachers. Blasé and
Blasé further observe that, when the
pressing needs of the teachers are
provided for and adequately addressed by
principals, their job performance in
schools is improved.
Open communication as an administrative
strategy is very important in encouraging
effective job performance among teachers.
The flow of information, regulations,
policies and procedures are one of the
effective administrative outcomes
[19][20][21][22].
Another important strategy employed by
the principals to improve the job
performance of staffs is the adequate
provision of instructional facilities in
schools. Providing teachers with the
required working tools or facilities are one
of the surest ways of enhancing their job
performance [10][23][24].
Regular workshop is another
administrative strategy used by principals
to enhance teachers’ job performance. It
provides a platform for teachers and the
principals to exchange ideas and share
teaching experiences for the professional
growth of teachers [15][25].
3. www.idosr.org Eze et al

Performance is defined as the skillful
combination of right ideas and human
behaviors to achieve the desired set of
goals and objectives. In other words,
performance involves the effective use of
skills as strategies by teachers to ensure
proper instructional delivery in schools.
Teachers job performance can be defined
as the quantity and quality of task or
duties performed by a staff for a given
period of time in the school system which
geared towards achievement of
educational goals and objectives
[7][26][10]
Through this extensive review, we were
able to detect that in Obollo-Afor
education Zone, there were principals’
administrative deficiencies/lapses in
secondary schools as there are poor
performances of students in external
exams and highest truancy amongst the
teachers and principals were recorded in
the zone.
It is based on these, that we try to
investigate in the zone if the principals
adopt the major administrative strategies
such as involving teachers in decision
making, delegates duties properly, attends
to teachers’ welfare and ensure that
instructional material used in their schools
are up to date. The major aim of this
research is to determine how principals’
administrative strategies (decision
making, delegation of duty, open
communication and management of staff
welfare) correlates with teachers’ job
performance in public secondary schools
in Obollo-Afor education Zone of Enugu
State.
The findings of this research work would
be significantly of good advantage to the
students, parents and the society at large
as students will enjoy qualitative teaching
from their teachers and become a good
citizen by doing well academically,
morally and otherwise due to quality and
renowned school training.
METHODOLOGY
This session of the thesis presented the
step-by-step procedures adopted in
executing this study and was extensively
discussed under the following sub-
headings: Research design, area of the
study, population of the study, sample and
sampling techniques, instruments for data
collection, instrument validity, reliability
of the instrument, methods of data
collection and data analysis.
Design of the study
This study adopted correlational survey
design. According to the author in [27],
correlational research establishes the
extent of relationship and association
between two or more variable that can be
used to make predictions on an existing
condition and the variables are related,
dependent or correlated. This design was
chosen because, it enables the researcher
to establish relationship between
administrative strategies and teachers’ job
performance.
Area of Study
This research work was carried out in
Obollo-Afor education Zone of Enugu state
in Enugu North senatorial Zone. Obollo-
Afor was situated in Enugu north
senatorial Zone which is one of the six geo-
political Zones in Enugu state. Obollo-Afor
education Zone was made up of three Local
Government Areas (LGA) namely; Udenu
Local Government Area, Igbo-Eze North
Local Government Area and Igbo-Eze south
Local Government Area. From the Available
records, it was noted that the education
Zone has 48 secondary schools with a staff
population of 1806. The education Zone is
in the Northern part of Enugu State and its
inhabitants are predominantly Igbo
speaking with the mixture of the Hausa
settlers who are traders. The study is being
carried out here because of observed laxity
and poor attitude to work among the
teachers in carrying out their teaching
obligations in secondary schools which
affects students’ learning outcome.
Population of the Study
This study is made up of population of 48
public secondary schools having 1,854
principals and teachers in the education
Zone. According to available record, this
figure comprises 48 principals and 1806
teachers in public secondary schools

statistical unit, Obollo-Afor zonal office
2018/2019 academic session).
Sample and sampling technique
The sample size of this study comprised
605 respondents which is made up of 48
principals and 557 teachers. The Zone was
clustered into three localities namely
Udenu LGA, Igbo Eze-North LGA and Igbo
Eze-South LGA using proportionate
random sampling technique. Furthermore,
the clusters were randomly sampled using
30.87% of the teachers’ population in each
LGA which yielded 188 sampled teachers
in Igbo Eze south LGA, 179 in Igbo Eze
North LGA and 190 in Udenu LGA giving a
total of 557 teachers. Since the entire 48
principals from the Zone were used for the
study, no sample was carried out.
Instrument for Data Collection
The two researcher designed instruments
used for data collection in this thesis are
Principals Administrative Strategies
Questionnaires (PASQ) and Teachers Job
Performance Questionnaire (TJPQ). The
PASQ is made up of section A and B.
Section A provided the demographic
information of respondents such as status,
location and gender while section B
comprised 32 items that were carefully
arranged into four separate clusters known
as clusters A, B, C and D. Cluster A took
care of the information about the
principals’ decision making strategy and
teachers job performance. Cluster B
elicited information on the principals’
delegation of duties strategy and teachers’
job performance. Cluster C provided
information on the principals’ open
communication strategy and teachers job
performance while Cluster D elicited
information on the principals’
management of the staff welfare strategy
and teachers job performance in public
secondary schools in Obollo-Afor
Education Zone. Secondly, teachers job
performance questionnaire has nine items
on it. The items in the two instruments are
rated using 4-point rating scale namely;
Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Disagree (D)
and Strongly Disagree (SD) with
corresponding assigned values of 4, 3, 2
and 1 respectively.
Validity of Instruments
The validity of the instruments was
ascertained by subjecting the initial draft
to face and content validation. Three
experts which comprised of two from the
department of educational foundations
(Edu. admin & planning unit) and one from
measurement and evaluation all from
faculty of education, University of Nigeria,
Nsukka. The experts examined the items in
relation to language clarity and
appropriateness of the items in eliciting
the required information from the
respondents and make appropriate
corrections. The items were modified
based on the observations and corrections
of the experts before final instrument
production
Reliability of the Instrument
For reliability of the instrument to be
correctly determined, they have to be
subjected to trail-testing using ten
principals and ten teachers from ten
schools in Nsukka education Zone off the
study area. Internal consistency of the
items of the instruments were determined
and computed using Cronbach Alpha
method which yielded 0.73, 0.75, 0.72 and
0.74 for clusters A, B, C, and D and with
0.73 as the overall reliability value for the
principals’ questionnaire while 0.72
reliability estimate was obtained as the
value for the teachers’ job performance
questionnaire respectively. The above
reliability estimate values were considered
to be high enough to adjudge that the
instruments are suitable and reliable for
the study as appended in Appendix A. The
Secondary schools in Nsukka Education
Zone were used, because they share
similar characteristics in terms of quality
of staff and instructional facilities as
provided in the gifted schools. The
respondents of the PASQ and TJPQ
instruments used for the trial testing were
the principals and the teachers
respectively
Methods of Data Collection
The researcher administered copies of her
instruments to the respondents with the
help of two instructed research assistants
at their various locations. The research
assistants were fully instructed on how to
5. www.idosr.org Eze et al
80
be courteous in distributing and collecting
the questionnaire from the respondents on
the spot by the researcher. This method
was to ensure proper completion of the
instruments by the respondents as well as
high return rate. The researcher
administered 605 copies of the
questionnaire to the respondents. At the
end, 605 copies of the questionnaire were
retrieved and used for data analysis. This
indicated 100% rate of return.
Method of Data Analysis
Research questions were answered using
Regression analysis whereas the
formulated hypotheses were tested using
regression ANOVA
RESULTS
The results of the research study were
presented in this chapter according to the
formulated research hypotheses and
adopted research questions that guided
the study.
Research question one
What is the relationship between
principals’ decision making strategy and
teachers’ job performance in secondary
schools in Obollo-Afor education Zone of
Enugu State?

and teachers job performance in secondary schools
Variables r R2
Principals’ Decision Making strategy and Teachers’
Job Performance

(R2) = coefficient of determination
It was observed from table 1 that, the
correlation coefficient (r) between
principals’ on decision making strategy
and teachers’ job performance was 0.64.
This showed that there is a very high
positive relationship that exists between
principals’ on decision making strategy
and teachers’ job performance. Table 1,
revealed that, the correlation coefficient of
0.64 associated with the coefficient of
determinations (R2
) is 0.41 which showed
that 41% of the variation in teachers Job
performance is attributed to principals’
administrative strategies on decision
making. Hence, 59% of the variation in
teachers’ job performance is now
attributed to other factors other than
principals’ administrative strategy on
decision making. This simply indicated
that 41% of variation in teachers’ job
performance was purely as a result of
administrative strategy on decision
making.
Hypothesis One
There is no significant relationship
between principals’ decision making
strategy and teachers’ Job performance in
public secondary schools in Obollo-Afor
education Zone of Enugu state.

From table 2 results, probability value of
0.00 has a corresponding associated exact
F-ratio value of 59.515 as obtained above.
The probability value of 0.00 was
compared with the set 0.05 level of
significance for hypothesis testing. It was
observed from the result findings that this
testing is significant because the set value
of 0.05 is greater than the associated
probability value of 0.00 which concurred
with the set aside condition for
significance. Hence, the null hypothesis is
invalid and therefore rejected. From this
clear evidence, the researcher finally
47

81
concludes that, there was a significant
relationship between principals’
administrative strategy on decision
making and teachers’ job performance in
secondary schools in Obollo-Afor
education Zone of Enugu state.
Research Question Two
What is the Relationship between
Principals’ Delegation of Duty strategy and
Teachers’ Job Performance in Secondary
Schools in Obollo-Afor Education Zone of
Enugu State?

strategy and Teachers Job Performance in Secondary Schools
Variables r R2
Principals’ Delegation of Duty strategy and
Teachers’ Job Performance
0.52 0.27
(R2
) = Coefficient of Determination
Results on table 3 showed that, the
correlation coefficient between principals’
delegation of duty strategy and teachers’
job performance was 0.52. This implies
that there exists a medium positive
relationship between principals’
administrative strategy on delegation of
duty and teachers’ job performance. It was
revealed from table 3 that, 0.27 coefficient
of determination (R2
) corresponds with
correlation coefficient value of 0.52. This
implies that 27% variation on the
coefficient of determination (R2
) signifies
that 27% variation in teachers’ job
performance is attributed to principals’
administrative strategy on delegation of
duty whereas 73% of the variation in
teachers’ job performance is as a result of
other factors other than principals’
administrative strategy on delegation of
duty.
Hypotheses Two
There is no significant Relationship
between Principals’ Delegation of Duty
strategy and Teachers’ Job Performance in
Secondary Schools in Obollo-Afor
Education Zone of Enugu state.

Table 4 result showed that the F-ratio of
157.397 was obtained at associated exact
probability value of 0.00. The 0.05 set level
of significance was compared with 0.00
probability value for hypotheses testing
and it showed positive significant because
0.05 is greater than 0.00. The null
hypothesis didn’t hold and therefore
rejected. The researcher from the findings
concluded that there is a significant
relationship between principals’
administrative strategy on delegation of
duty and teachers’ job performance in
secondary schools in Obollo-Afor
education Zone of Enugu state.
Research Question Three
What is the relationship between
principals’ open communication strategy
and teachers Job performance in
secondary schools in Obollo-Afor
education Zone of Enugu state?

Results of table 5 showed that, the
correlation between principals’ open
communication strategy and teachers’ job
performance was 0.83. This indicates that,
there was a very high positive relationship
between principals’ open communication
strategy and teachers’ job performance.
From table 5, it was also observed that, the
correlation coefficient of 0.83 was
associated with coefficient of
determination (R2
) value of 0.69. This
indicates that 69% of the variation in
teachers’ job performance is attributed to
principals’ administrative strategy on
open communication. This finally
indicates that 31% of the variation in
teachers’ job performance is caused by
other factors other than principals’
administrative strategy on open
communication.
Hypothesis Three
There is no Significant Relationship
between Principals’ Open Communication
strategy and Teachers Job Performance in
Secondary Schools in Obollo-Afor
Education Zone of Enugu state.

with 63.566 F-ratio as obtained above.
Hypothesis testing set significance level of
0.05 was compared with the probability
value of 0.00 and was found to be
significant because 0.00 is less than 0.05.
Therefore, the null hypothesis was
rejected. The researcher finally concluded
from the findings that, there was a
significant relationship between
principals’ open communication strategy
and teachers job performance in
secondary schools in Obollo-Afor
education Zone of Enugu state.
Research Question Four
What is the relationship between
principals’ management of staff welfare
strategy and teachers’ job performance in
secondary schools in Obollo-Afor
education Zone of Enugu state?

was 0.88. The result indicates that, there
exists a very high positive relationship
between principals’ administrative
strategy in the management of staff
welfare and teachers’ job performance.
Table 7 also revealed that, 0.77 coefficient
8. www.idosr.org Eze et al

of determination (R2
) was associated with
correlation coefficient of 0.88 as shown in
the table above. This indicates that 77% of
the variation in teachers’ job performance
was determined by the coefficient of
determination. Hence, the remaining 23%
of variation in teachers’ job performance is
caused by other factors other than
principals’ management of staff welfare
strategy.
Hypothesis Four
There is no Significant Relationship
between Principals’ Management of Staff
Welfare strategy and Teachers’ Job
Performance in Secondary Schools in
Obollo-Afor education Zone of Enugu state.

value of 46.198 as shown in the table 8.
The 0.05 set significance value level for
hypothesis testing was compared with the
0.00 exact probability and it was found to
be significant because 0.05 significance
value level is greater than 0.00 probability
value. Based on this, the null hypothesis
was rejected. From these findings, the
researcher therefore concluded that there
was a significant relationship between
principals’ administrative strategy in the
management of staff welfare and teachers
job performance in secondary schools in
Obollo-Afor education Zone of Enugu State
Summary of the Findings

DISCUSSION
The findings of this research study are
discussed in line with the research
questions and hypotheses that guided the
study.
Relationship between Principals’
decision making strategy and Teachers’
Job Performance
The result of table 1 revealed a positive
relationship between principals’ decision
making strategy and teachers’ job
performance. This means that principals’
decision-making function significantly
correlates with teachers’ job performance
in secondary schools in Obollo-Afor
education Zone. This is because the
coefficient of determination showed that
41% of the teachers’ job performance in
secondary schools is attributed to
principals’ decision-making function. The
result of hypothesis one indicated a
significant positive relationship between
principals’ decision making and teachers’
Job performance in secondary schools.
The findings are consistent with the
findings of [25] who found out that
involving teachers in decision making as
well as accommodating their interest
enhanced teachers’ job performance in
schools. The result is also in support of the
findings of [28] which proved that being
consistent in decision making process
contributes in enhancing performance of
administrators in universities in Rivers
State.
Relationship between Principals’
Delegation of Duty strategy and
Teachers’ Job Performance
The results of the study presented in table
3 revealed a positive relationship between
principals’ delegation of duties strategy
and teachers’ job performance. This means
that proper delegation of duties by the
principals has a significant positive effect
or impact on teachers’ job performance in
secondary schools in Obollo-Afor
education Zone of Enugu state. This is
because the coefficient of determination
showed that 27% of teachers’ job
performance in secondary schools is
attributed to principals’ delegation of duty
function. The result of hypothesis two also
indicated a significant positive
relationship between principals’
delegation of duty and teachers’ job
performance in secondary schools. The
result is in line with the findings of [8][10]
who found out in their respective studies
that delegating duties to teachers and
giving them sense of belonging in school
administration encouraged teachers’ job
performance in Imo state.
Relationship between Principals’ on
Open Communication strategy and
Teachers’ Job Performance
The results of table 5 revealed a positive
relationship between principals’ open
communication strategy and teachers’ job
performance. This means that principals’
maintenance of open communication
function has significant positive
relationship on teachers’ job performance
in secondary schools in Obollo-Afor
education Zone of Enugu state. This is
because the coefficient of determination
showed that 69% of teachers’ job
performance in secondary schools is
attributed to principals’ open
communication function. The result of
hypothesis three also indicated a
significant positive relationship between
principals’ open communication function
and teachers’ Job performance in
secondary schools. The result agrees with
the findings of [10] who found out that
principals who use open communication in
their administration contributes much in
encouraging teachers’ job performance.
The result is also in consonance with the
findings of [29] who in their work found
out that principal with democratic skills in
dealing with the staff encouraged teachers’
job performance in secondary schools in
Enugu state.
The relationship between Principals
management of staff welfare strategy
and teachers job performance
The findings of the study in table 7 showed
that the respondents are in agreement that
principals attending to the personal needs
of the staff, protecting teachers’ interest,
recommending teachers for promotion,
relating well with teachers enhances job
performance of the teachers in schools.
This is because the coefficient of
10. www.idosr.org Eze et al
85
determination showed that 77% of
teachers’ job performance in secondary
schools is attributed to principals’
management of staff welfare function. The
result of hypothesis eight also revealed a
significant positive relationship between
principals’ management of staff welfare
function and teachers’ job performance in
secondary schools. The above result is in
consonance with the findings of
[30][31][32][33][34 which stated that there
was significant positive relationship
between teachers’ job performance and
principals’ welfare services. The result is
also in line with the findings of [32] who
found out that job content and welfare
services had significant positive
relationship with teachers’ job
performance in schools.
CONCLUSION
Teachers’ job performance to a large
extent depends on the nature of the
administrative strategies of the principals
in secondary schools. Principals who are
resourceful in the use of administrative
strategies maintain open relationship with
the teachers and the students thereby
providing adequate material resources as
well as motivation for the teachers in
carrying out their responsibilities. The
result indicated that there was a positive
relationship existing between principals’
use of decision making, delegation of duty,
open communication and staff welfare as
administrative strategies in encouraging
teachers’ high level of job performance in
the system. It therefore, becomes
imperative that principals of schools
imbibe the culture of these strategies to
continue to encourage and motivate the
teachers to ensure high level of job
performance in the school system. This no
doubt, will go a long way in ensuring the
achievement of the goals of secondary
education in Nigeria.
