Abstract
The efficacy of the school system is hinged on principals’ possession
of skills needed for smooth operation. This study adopted a des-
criptive design in examining the relationship between principals’
managerial styles and teachers’ job performance in Private Secondary
Schools in Kwara State, Nigeria. The population comprised 4,510
students, 4,702 teachers, and 70 superintendents across the private
secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria. Using the proportionate
sampling technique, a sample size of 178 students, 187 teachers, and
17 superintendents in private secondary schools respectively were
selected for the study. An adapted questionnaire titled “Principals’
Managerial Styles and Teachers’ Job Performance Questionnaire
(PMSTJPQ) was administered to participants after being validated by
three experts. Data collected were subjected to statistical analysis as
the five research questions raised were answered using descriptive
statistics of mean and standard deviation while the main hypothesis
and three operational hypotheses were tested using inferential
statistics of Pearson product-moment correlation at 0.05 level of
significance. The mean for the three sub-scales in PMSTJPQ were
3.12, 2.63, and 2.57 for participative, consultative, and collaborative
managerial styles respectively, while the mean for PMSTJPQ was
2.96 for teachers’ job performance. Findings showed a significant relationship between principal managerial styles and teacher job
performance in private secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria.
The paper raises important issues about collective stakeholder
engagement and not limiting participation to those who have formal
or specific characteristics
