School Constituents' Ratings of the Performance Dimensions of Male and Female High-Performing Principals
Hutton, Disraeli M.
Journal of Teacher Education and Educators, v6 n1 p69-88 2017
The purpose of the current study was to analyse both the general school constituents' and male and females school constituents' ratings of the performance of male and female high-performing principals in the Jamaican public schools. With a sample of 2384 respondents representing school constituents from 125 schools, the returns were 1523 (64%). The data were collected using a 69-item Likert scale and analysed using Principals Component Analysis (PCA) and t-test. The results of the analysis revealed four dimensions of leadership performance: philosophy and abilities, leadership and management, student support systems, and community support and relationships. The findings showed that there were significant differences in how the general school constituents rated high-performing principals on three of the four dimensions of performance. There were no differences in male respondents' ratings of male and female principals; however, there were significant differences in the ratings of female respondents of the four dimensions.
