Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between principals' decision-making strategies and teachers' job satisfaction in secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria. Novelty: This study provides a unique perspective by analyzing multiple decision-making strategies, including open-door, closed-door, consultation, and collaboration, and their varying impacts on teachers' job satisfaction, which has not been extensively explored in the Nigerian secondary school context. Methods: This study used a descriptive survey design. It involved 7675 senior secondary school teachers from 407 public schools in Kwara State. A sample of 297 respondents was selected from 825 teachers using Krejcie and Morgan's table and simple random sampling from 35 schools. Data were collected through a self-designed questionnaire, "Principals' Decision-Making Strategies Teachers' Job Satisfaction Questionnaire" (PDMSTJSQ), on a 4-point Likert scale. Research questions were analyzed using mean and standard deviation, while hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation at a 0.05 significance level. Results: The study found that open-door, closed-door, consultation, and collaborative decision-making strategies are the most common, with a mean of 3.18. Open-door decision-making positively correlates with teachers' job satisfaction, while closed-door and consultation strategies show negative correlations. Collaboration also has a negative relationship. These results suggest that teachers' job satisfaction is influenced by the decision-making strategies used and their overall work environment. Conclusion: The study found a significant relationship between open-door decision-making strategies, closed-door decision-making strategies, consultation decision-making strategies, and collaboration decision-making strategies in Kwara State secondary schools.

Abstract

. Effective and efficient school budgets determine the extent of attaining school objectives. This study investigated principals' budget management practices: a predictor of public junior secondary school performance in Kwara State, Nigeria. The objectives of this study were to examine the level of principals' budget management practices in Kwara State, find out the level of public junior secondary school performance in Kwara State, Nigeria, establish the relationship between principals' budget planning and public junior secondary school performance in Kwara State; investigate the relationship between principals' budget controlling and public junior secondary school performance in Kwara State and examine the relationship between principals' budget monitoring and public junior secondary school performance in Kwara State. The study adopted a descriptive survey of correlational type. One hundred and ninety respondents were used for the study. Principals' Budget Management Practices and Public Junior Secondary School Performance Questionnaire (PBMPPJSSPQ) were used for data collection. Two research questions were raised and answered to guide the study's conduct using descriptive statistics of frequency and percentages. Four research hypotheses were formulated and tested using inferential Pearson product-moment correlation statistics at a 0.05 significance level.  Findings showed that principals' budget management practices in budget planning, budgeting monitoring, and controlling would tremendously enhance and improve public junior secondary school performance in school effectiveness, discipline, sports and recreation and students' academic achievement. It was recommended that the Kwara State government involve school principals and teachers in the budget management practices, planning, and implementation. This will enable the school staff and heads to understand the educational budget allocation and ensure funds are spent judiciously.
