An Analysis of Expectation for Principal Behavior in the United States Virgin Islands Educational Documents and the Relationship of Document Importance to Perception of Role Conflict and Ambiguity

This study attempted to answer the following questions: (a) Do Virgin Islands educational system documents contain differing expectations for the behavior of principals?, and (b) Do principals in the Virgin Islands perceive role conflict and/or role ambiguity. Based on the work of Kahn, it was hypothesized that if differing expectations existed in critical educational system documents that governed the behavior of principals then these documents would create role conflict and/or role ambiguity--conditions that are dysfunctional to organizational systems and principals' effectiveness.
