| dc.description | The research work was on teachers' perception of the effectiveness of the administrative behaviours of their heads. The study sought to investigate the perception that teachers had on the behaviour of their heads as the heads carried out their administrative functions. The research questions formulated were based on the administrative functions of heads which included planning, organizing, cocoordinating, staffing and directing. It also considered the relationships that existed between the heads and the teachers. The descriptive survey design was deemed appropriate for the research work. The sampling technique used was a census as all 76 permanent teachers in the 4 Senior Secondary Schools were used for the study. Questionnaire was the main instrument used. It was made up of 45 closed-ended questions with 1 open ended question. A return rate of 100% was achieved for all the questionnaires that were administered. The statistical instrument used for the analysis of the data was the SPSS. The research brought out a distinction between those administrative functions that the heads performed effectively and those, which the heads did not perform well as perceived by their teachers. It also revealed that healthy interpersonal relationship did not exist between some heads and some of their teachers. Recommendations made include the organization of periodic in-service training for teachers, the heads should treat teachers in a humane manner and also ensure the use of proper communication channels in their schools. | |
