Principals' Attitudes Toward Work and Co-workers, Situational Factors, Perceived Effectiveness, and Innovation Effort

Abstract

The basic postulate was partially supported that administrator per formance is contingent upon different combinations of individual style and situation components. Although the explained variance levels and the number of predictor variables were somewhat limited, the relation ships were consistent with the theory. The conclusion, therefore, was drawn that the contingency approach should be used in future studies of administrators and schools.
