Adjustment Level of Principals in Realtion to Gender and Locality

Abstract

In all systems of formal education, the Principal holds a key position. The success and effectiveness of the system largely depends upon his performance. There are a lot of differences in rural and urban culture adjustment of the boys & girls and their culture. The most potent single factor in education system is the principal and without taking cognizance of this vital factor all schemes of reforming education and raising the standard will prove an idle and deceptive as a dream. The success of school depends on his ability and skill as a sound and effective educational leader. What the school is, and what it does, it determined largely by the intelligence, scholarship, imagination, initiative, personality and social skill of the principal. The present study has been conducted to investigate the adjustment level of principals in relation to gender, locality.  Teacher Adjustment Inventory designed by Mangal (1982) was used to collect the data. The results of the study revealed that the principals of boys schools had more adjusted. Further, it was noted that urban schools were found significantly higher mean values.
