Abstract:

In this study, it is aimed to determine the relationship between the job satisfaction and the self-efficacy perceptions of the secondary school principals. The correlational survey model was used in the study. 329 secondary school principals participated in the study. In the study, the 'Job Satisfaction Scale' developed by the researcher and the 'Self-Sufficiency Perceptions Scale of School Principals' developed by Tschannen-Moran and Gareis (2004) were adapted to Turkish by the researcher. According to the results of the study, it has been determined that the participants have 'mostly' in the sense of administrative, instructional and ethical self-efficacy. Likewise, participants have 'mostly' in the sense of general self-efficacy. Participants were found to have a low level of individual and organizational job satisfaction. In addition, participants' general job satisfaction level is also 'low'. However, administrative, instructional and ethical self-efficacy differ significantly according to gender, educational status, school type and professional experience. In addition, positive relationship between organizational job satisfaction and managerial self-efficacy, individual job satisfaction, and instructional and ethical self-efficacy were found to be moderately and meaningful.
