A Comparative Study of Managerial Effectiveness of Principals in Public and Private Secondary Schools in District Panjgur

Abstract

This study examined the managerial effectiveness of principals in public and private secondary schools in District Panjgur. The research focused on four key dimensions of managerial effectiveness: decision-making skills, instructional supervisory skills, communication skills, and motivational skills. Guided by four research objectives, questions, and hypotheses, the study adopted a descriptive research design. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23, employing mean, standard deviation, and independent sample t-tests. The findings indicated that principals of private secondary schools exhibited higher managerial effectiveness compared to their counterparts in public schools. Despite this, public secondary schools were found to have greater human and material resources and stronger policy implementation frameworks. Based on these findings, it is recommended that principals of public secondary schools enhance their managerial skills through targeted training and professional development workshops organized by government training centers. Strengthening these competencies is essential for fostering effective leadership and improving educational outcomes across District Panjgur.
