SELF-EFFICACY AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AS PREDICTORS OF ADMINISTRATIVE EFFECTIVENESS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN ILORIN METROPOLIS
Abstract
The research investigated the predictive roles of self-efficacy and emotional intelligence on the administrative effectiveness of secondary school principals in the Ilorin metropolis. Employing a descriptive survey approach with a correlational design, the study sampled 100 respondents, including 20 principals and 80 vice principals, from four selected Local Governments. Stratified sampling categorized public Senior Secondary Schools into rural, urban, and semi-urban, while availability sampling facilitated instrument administration to principals and vice principals. The Principal Self-Efficacy Survey by Smith, Strom, & Adams (2019) and the Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS) by Supramaniam&Singaravelloo (2021) were utilized to gather data, both validated with a reliability coefficient of 0.75. Demographic data were presented using frequency and percentage, while Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMC) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tested hypotheses at a 0.05 significance level.The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between self-efficacy and administrative effectiveness (r.cal. = 0.431, p < 0.05), as well as between emotional intelligence and administrative effectiveness (r.cal. = 0.210, p < 0.05). Additionally, significant differences were observed in self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and administrative effectiveness (F-cal. = 0.114, p < 0.000), as well as for male principals (F-cal. = 0.202, p < 0.000) and female principals (F-cal. = 0.321, p < 0.000) separately. In conclusion, the study highlights the substantial impact of self-efficacy and emotional intelligence on administrative effectiveness among secondary school principals in the Ilorin metropolis. It recommends that principals seek counseling for emotional assessment and evaluation, and that the Ministry of Education organize seminars and workshops focusing on these factors to enhance administrative effectiveness.
