0.5 Roberts, k., & Sampson, p. (october 2011). a study of principal  (Page 4/6)

Analysis of the LDBQ-12 scores determined the principal’s leadership style. The largest group of teachers (38%) (Table 1), indicated they worked under a HC, HS principal (Table 2). The mean of the two variable was x= 4.23.

Hypothesis 1. Teachers working under a HC, HS principal, will experience higher job performance than teachers working under a HC, LS principal or LC, HS principal or LC, LS principal.

The data from Table 1 showed a higher percentage of teachers (72.5%) working under HC, HS principals performed better than teachers working under a HC, LS principal (69.2%), LC, HS principal (72.2%), and LC, LS principal (42.5%).

Table 2 revealed that teachers working under a HC, HS principal had a mean of (x=4.23) which is higher than teachers working under a HC, LS principal (x=3.99), LC,LS principal (x=3.88) and LC, HS principal (x=3.17).

In summary, hypothesis number one was supported by the data. Teachers, in their perception, experience higher job performance while working under a HS, HC principal than teachers working under LC, LS principals, LC, HS principals, or HC, LS principals.

Hypothesis 2. Teachers working under a HC, LS principal they will experience higher job performance than teachers working under a LC, HS principal or LC, LS principal.

Table 1 revealed teachers (69.2%) performed better working under a HC, LS principal than teachers working under a LC, LS principal (42.5%) but lower than teachers working under a LC, HS principal (72.2%). Table 2 indicated that teachers (x=3.99) working under a HC, LS performed better than teachers working under a LC, LS principal (x=3.88) but poorer than teachers working under a LC, HS principal (4.17).

In summary hypothesis number 2 was supported when comparing teachers working under HC, LS principals to teachers working under LC, LS principals but was not supported when compared to teachers working under LC, HS principals.

Hypothesis 3 . Teachers working under a LC, HS principal will experience higher job performance than teachers working under a LC, LS principal.

Table 1 revealed that teachers (72.2%) who worked under a LC, HS principal performed better than teachers who worked under a LC, LS principal (42.5%). Table 2 also revealed that the mean performance score for teachers who work under a LC, HS, principal (x= 4.17) was higher than teachers who worked under a LC, LS principal (x=3.88). Hypothesis three was supported. Teachers working under a LC, HS principal have higher job performance than teachers working under a LC, LS principal.
