Abstract

The purpose of this non-experimental quantitative study is to obtain middle school teachers’ perceptions of their principals’ leadership attributes and analyze how their perceptions of those leadership attributes relate to their sense of self-efficacy. Teacher participants from five middle schools in a lower Rio Grande Valley (RGV) school district in South Texas will be asked to complete two surveys: one survey based on their perceptions of their principals’ leadership attributes (TPPAQ) and another survey measuring teacher efficacy (TEBS-Self). Data analysis using multiple regression will examine if there is a relationship between teacher perceived school leadership attributes of their principals and teacher sense of self-efficacy. Both teachers and school leaders are identified as indicators for student success. The findings of this study will add to the body of literature on teacher perceptions of school leadership attributes and how those perceived attributes impact teacher efficacy. Results of this study suggest a notable connection between employees’ self-efficacy and their principals’ leadership attributes. This research can inform school leaders and district leaders of leadership attributes the contribute to teachers’ self-efficacy.
