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

The research focuses on the record-keeping practices of principals in public secondary schools in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State, Nigeria. Two research questions and one research hypothesis were raised to guide the study. A descriptive survey research design was employed, allowing for self-reporting of information without manipulating variables. The sample included 121 principals and 155 vice principals from four Local Government Areas. The research instrument was a structured questionnaire, "Principals' Records Keeping Practices and School Effectiveness Questionnaire (PRMPSEQ)," developed from a literature review. The data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found a positive correlation between these two aspects, indicating that effective records management is crucial for achieving high levels of school effectiveness. The study found a moderate level of effectiveness in principals' records-keeping practices, with areas for improvement identified in record retrieval, disposal, use and archiving. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis reveals a significant positive correlation between principals' record-keeping practices and school effectiveness in public secondary schools in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State, Nigeria. Overall, the findings provide valuable information for policymakers and school administrators in Ilorin metropolis, suggesting that enhancing records management practices could be a strategic approach towards improving school effectiveness and ultimately, the quality of education for students. The findings suggest that schools should prioritise continuous improvement in their records management systems, focusing on enhancing retrieval, disposal, utilisation, and archiving practices. Recommendations include enhancing records management training, implementing standardised systems, investing in technology and conducting regular audits.
