Abstract

This study focused on principals’ application of skill of staff involvement in decision making in attainment of school goals. The general purpose of the study was to determine the extent of principals’ use of personnel function skills in attainment of goals in secondary schools while the specific purpose is to assess principals’ application of the skill of staff involvement in decision making. The study adopted survey research design. The population of the study was 8,864, made up of 273 principals and 8,591 teachers while the sample size was 870. Stratified proportionate random sampling technique was used to get the sample size. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the eight hundred and seventy (870) respondents that comprised of 273 principals and 597 teachers from the two hundred and seventy-three (273) Secondary Schools in Enugu State, Nigeria. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. The hypothesis was tested with z-test statistic at .05 level of significance. The study revealed that skill of staff involvement in decision making was poorly applied by principals in Secondary School administration. The study recommended that State Ministry of Education and Post Primary Schools Management Board should organize seminars and workshops to educate principals on how to apply personnel management skills in Secondary Schools. Furthermore, reward system should be introduced for principals that distinguish themselves in the application of personnel management skills. The study concluded that poor application of personnel management skills has adversely affected educational development in Enugu State.
