Name: School Administrators' Efficacy: A Model and Measure
ID: m14845
Language: English (en)
Summary: The efficacy construct refers to peoples’ beliefs about and confidence in their abilities to attain success in their actions. The purpose of this research is to advance the study of school administrators’ efficacy through a unique model and measure designed to target the confidence of school administrators in performing a variety of leadership/management tasks. An instrument was created to measure school administrators’ efficacy levels, based on the Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) Standards. A sample of 367 early career principals and principal trainees was surveyed. Through factor analysis, eight dimensions of school administrator efficacy were derived. Based on Cronbach’s Alpha, the instrument has high reliability; thus, this instrument can serve as a consistent tool in evaluating school administrators’ efficacy levels.
