Description
Purpose. This study was designed to examine the perceptions of secondary school assistant principals and deans in Palm Beach County to determine the extent that they perceived their involvement in the decision-making process. Conclusions. It is concluded from the results of these analyses that
there are significant differences between the perceptions of assistant
principals and deans relative to their involvement in the decision-making
process. There are significant differences in their perceptions
of the following variables used to measure the perceived extent
of involvement in decision making: l) Communication; 2) Motivation;
3) Accountability; 4) Interaction-Influence; and 5) Involvement In
Decision Haking. There are no significant differences in their
perceptions of the Discrimination variable used to measure the perceived
extent of involvement in decision making. It is also concluded from the results of these analyses that
there are significant differences between the perceptions of black
deans and white deans relative to their involvement in the decision-making
process. There are significant differences in their perceptions
of the following variables used to measure the perceived extent
of involvement in decision making: l) Accountability; 2) Motivation;
3) Communication; and 4) Discrimination. There are no significant
differences in their perceptions of the Interaction-Influence and
Involvement In Decision Making variables used to measure the extent
of involvement in decision making.
Additionally, the analyses also indicate significant correlations
between the years of administrative experience of assistant
principals and deans and their perceptions with regard to their involvement
in the decision-making process. There are significant
correlations relative to the following variables used to measure the correlations: 1) Involvement In Decision Making: 2) Interaction-Influence;
3) Motivation; and 4) Discrimination. There are no
significant correlations relative to the Accountability and Communication
variables used to measure the correlations.
Finally it is concluded that deans are no less reluctant
to assume responsibility in decision making than assistant principals.
