Prof. O. C. NWANKWO | | Publisher : | | | Bridge Center | | Article URL : |  | | | Abstract : | | | The study investigated psychological skills as predictors of
administrative competence among secondary school principals in
Rivers State. The study used the correlational research design. Two
research questions and two corresponding hypotheses guided the study.
The population of the study consisted of 1,653 principals in all private
and public schools in Rivers state. A sample of 525 principals (231
public school principals and 294 private school principals) in Rivers
State. They were drawn using multistage sampling techniques which
include stratified random sampling, simple random sampling by
balloting and proportionate random sampling. Two instruments were
used to collect data for the study; Psychological Skills Questionnaire
(PSQ) and Principal’s Administrative Competence Questionnaire
(PACQ). The Crobach Alpha measured was used to determine the
reliability of the instruments, the reliability coefficients obtained were
0.84 and 0.82 respectively. The data collected were analyzed with
multiple regression, t-test and ANOVA. This finding of the study
showed that psychological skills (interpersonal, intrapersonal and selfefficacy) jointly and independently predict administrative competence
significantly among secondary school principals in Rivers State. Based
on the findings, it was recommended among others that principals
should learn how to adapt their management styles in varied
situations in order to sustain good working relationship with teachers and other staff in their schools as this will translate to high
administrative competence.
