Abstract

The quality and standard aspect of education requires effective educational administrators more than anything else. An administrators’ efficacy lies in the fact how much he is cognizant, understands the process, exhibits favourable attitude and copes with the change. The study sought to investigate the Occupational Efficacy, Job Activity and attitude of Educational Administrators at Secondary Level of Education. The sample comprised of 250 Educational Administrators (119 Educational Administrators from High School Level and 120 Educational Administrators from Higher Secondary School Level). The data were collected by using Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale Job Activity Analysis Scale (Self-constructed Scale) Attitude Scale towards Teaching Profession. Percentage statistics, t-test and Karl Pearson’s Coefficient of Correlation was used to analyse the data. The overall results revealed that Effective Educational Administrators differ significantly from Ineffective Educational Administrators with respect to their cognizance of Job Activity and Attitude towards Teaching Profession. A significant positive correlation exists between Occupational Efficacy and Effective Educational Administrators’ cognizance of Job activity and Attitude towards Teaching Profession and low correlation exists between Occupational Efficacy and Ineffective Educational Administrators’ cognizance of Job Activity and Attitude Towards Teaching Profession.
