Abstract

The present study aimed to determine the perception of comparative analysis of managerial practices of college principals. It was the descriptive type of research. All educators in the field of education must practice good management. College principals have a variety of tasks and obligations to complete, thus they must be skilled at time management to do so effectively. Comparing college faculty perspectives of managerial techniques based on activities in their colleges was the main goal of the current study. The study was delimited to 51 public and private colleges of District Rahim Yar Khan. The total sample was 500 of which 46 principals and 454 teachers were selected by using a convenient sampling technique. A validated self– structured closed-ended questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was designed for data collection from a sample of two questionnaires consisting of a total of fifty (50) items. The researcher personally administered. The data were collected on master-sheet and tabulated for statistical analysis and percentages were computed. The findings show that college will be more effective with the principal’s skills and expertise and there is a significant relationship between principals’ expertise (M=3.85, SD=1.348) and academic performance (M=4.23, SD=1.107); t= -1.052, P=.042. We observe a positive correlation so the relationship is significant between factors at α=0.05. So, the principal’s expertise plays a very important role, the study suggests that not every leadership style is appropriate for every institution, and leaders should be skilled enough to employ the optimal style for the circumstance
