(2021).Principals’ Instructional Supervisory Roles and Teachers’ Job Performance in Public Secondary Schools in Ekiti State, Nigeriahttps://keffi.nsuk.edu.ng/handle/20.500.14448/7447The study assessed the principals' supervisory roles and teachers' job performance in public secondary schools in Ekiti State. Two objectives with corresponding two research questions and hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The correlational survey research design was used for the study. A sample size of693 teachers was selected from a population of6936 using the multistage and simple random sampling techniques. The researchers' self-designed questionnaire that consisted of 12 items was used for data collection. The instrument is titled "Teachers' Questionnaire on Principals' Instructional Supervisory Roles and Teachers' Job Performance (TQPISRTJP). The instrument was duly validated and it yielded 0.86 as the index of rational validity. Cronbach Alpha was employed to determine the reliability of the instrument and it yielded 0.76 as the coefficient of internal consistency. Descriptive statistics of means and standard deviations were used to answer the research questions while Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study indicated that there was a significant relationship between the principals' role of classroom observation and teachers' job performance in public secondary schools in Ekiti State and there was a significant relationship between the principals' role of staff evaluation and teachers' job performance in public secondary schools in Ekiti State. The study recommended that the Ekiti State Ministry of Education needs to organize workshops, conferences, symposia and seminars for principals to enable them acquire the requisite knowledge and skills needed for classroom observation of teachers by identifying their teaching weaknesses and develop strategies for teachers to overcome the weaknesses and perform their job effectively. The study also recommended that the Ekiti State Teaching Service Commission needs to mandate every principal to submit the outcome of the staff evaluation exercise on yearly basis to the commission to ensure that principals undertake the exercise judiciously with a high level of commitment as such effort would help the commission to use the results of the evaluation and organize training programmes to improve the job performance of underperforming teachers.enInstructional Supervisory RolesTeachers' Job PerformanceClassroom Observation and Staff EvaluationArticle
