The research design was the descriptive survey. The population of the study was made up 187 principals and 7,323 teachers in all the 187 public secondary schools in Ekiti State. The sample was made up of 756 respondents which comprised 36 principals and 720 teachers using multistage sampling procedure. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the 36 school principals and 720 teachers across the three senatorial districts of the State. Two instruments used in this study were self-designed questionnaire. They were: Personnel Characteristic Skills Questionnaires (PCSQ) and Teachers’ Classroom Management Questionnaire (TCMQ). Data for the study were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The two research questions raised were analysed using percentage scores while the hypothesis was tested using multiple regression analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study showed that 58.9%, 38.3% and 2.8% of secondary school teachers of Ekti State secondary schools demonstrated high, moderate and low level classroom management skills respectively. The result further showed that supervision skill (91%), communication skill (89%), inter-personal relationship skill (88%), decision making skill (84%), and training and development skill (79%) were the personnel characteristic skills adopted by the principals. The study equally showed that the R square value was 0.859 which indicated that 85.9% of variance in the teachers’ classroom management can be accounted for by principals’ personnel characteristic skills. Furthermore, the result indicated that supervision skill (β= 0.519, p<0.05), training and development skill (β= 0.345, p<0.05), inter-personal relationship skill (β= 0.315, p<0.05), communication skill (β= 0.277, p<0.05) and decision making skill (β= 0.228, p<0.05) were significant predictors of teachers’ classroom management in Ekiti State secondary schools. The study therefore concluded that those principals’ personnel characteristic skills (supervisory, training and development, inter-personal relationship, communication, and decision making) positively influenced teachers’ classroom management in Ekiti State secondary schools.","PeriodicalId":41651,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Educational Leadership and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49431208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was also tested whether the types of organizational justice predict the organizational influence strategies or not. The data was collected from 284 school administrators and 854 teachers. According to the results of the study, while teachers highly use friendliness, bargaining and assertiveness tactics to influence their managers, they use higher authority and coalition tactics at moderate level. The teachers use reasoning tactics the least. On the other hand, school administrators use friendliness, bargaining and coalition tactics highly, higher authority and sanction tactics at moderate level and reasoning tactics the least. The results also showed that among the types of organizational justice the distributive justice, procedural justice and interactional justice predicts the organizational influence strategies of the teachers and the school administrators the best.","PeriodicalId":41651,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Educational Leadership and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44129085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A reinvented concept of leader being a team man needs active participation from followers in changing business dynamics. The sample consisting of middle level management having leader (heads/ supervisors from education sector) above it has been taken and results are achieved using inferential statistics, so to verify the need of followers for result oriented leadership. The results depict that certain personality traits backed by “Big Five Model” are found to be important for followers to have an impact on leader’s decision making. As this study analyses the mutual characteristic of leader follower relation statistically while putting follower on the fore front, the originality of study is ensured. As for limitation, this study may show different results as per variant geographical and economical regions in which followers’ expectations may vary accordingly.","PeriodicalId":41651,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Educational Leadership and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42601089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hayes","doi":"10.17583/IJELM.2018.3602","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17583/IJELM.2018.3602","url":null,"abstract":"Donald J. Trump was elected the 45th President of the United States in November 2016, after more than a year of campaigning on many major issues. Among the key issues presented during then-candidate Trump’s campaign was immigration reform. While Latinos make up the largest ethnic group of non-citizens in the U.S., most of these individuals have resided in the U.S. for a long period of time, have strong family ties, and have children who are lawful U.S. citizens (Baum, 2010; Almeida, Johnson, McNamara, & Gupta, 2011; Sharpless, 2017). The Trump administration’s early days involved a flurry of executive orders and other measures aimed at increasing the enforcement of immigration laws and blocking admission to the U.S. by individuals from specific countries. The purpose of this exploratory research study was to interview principals who lead Hispanic-majority elementary, middle, and high schools to determine how students and school communities are reacting to President Trump’s current policy and rhetoric regarding immigration, and how these principals are responding to the students and communities they serve.","PeriodicalId":41651,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Educational Leadership and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41928924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
