ABSTRACT

The study aimed to determine the significant relationship between school principals’ job satisfaction with critical roles in creating a positive school culture in their schools. In this regard, the principal should enjoy working with the students, positively reinforcing students, developing appropriate roles and procedures, striving to achieve autonomy for the school, and promoting a feeling of confidence in the school. These are only some of the management competencies that the school principal should possess to achieve its educational goals. And part of the goals are the performance of the teachers and pupils to improve. As observed in some of the schools, school principals failed to perform these management functions, they do not even know their major tasks maybe because of the multi-tasking given to them yet some of their schools perform better and there are also schools of which the school principal focused more on the academic development of the students and teacher development, yet their performance fall behind the expectation. This is why the researcher conducted this study to determine the significant relationship between the management competence of school heads and teachers’ performance. It was revealed on the study that there is significant relationship between the management competence of school principals in terms of human, material and financial resources and performance of teachers. The study’s result proved that with a very high level of management competence of school principals in terms of human, material and financial resources, teacher performance increased. It is recommended to implement the proposed intervention plan of the school principal.
