The principals' management satyles and educators performance: impact on secondary school learner performance in Vhuronga II Circuit

A principal's management style determines the performance of learners in a school and thus the effectiveness of the school. The main aim of this study was to investigate how management styles of principals affect learners' performance in secondary schools within the Vhuronga 11 Circuit. This could be of great assistance for principals to improve the way in which they manage their schools and could establish the need for further training on management styles through in-service training. The research is quantitative in nature; questionnaires were used to collect data. The population of the research comprised of principals and educators from all secondary schools within the Vhuronga II Circuit. The main findings of the study are presented according to the analytical categories that guided both the collection and analysis of data. Results show that the principals' management styles have an impact on learner performance. The principal's management styles determine the performance of learners in schools and thus the effectiveness of the school. A crucial implication for school managers is that the performance of learners and the effectiveness of the school are determined by the relationship between principals, teachers (educators), learners and parents. The effectiveness of the school, in particular, depends on how principals relate to their teachers.
