Administrative empowerment of secondary school principals in Nineveh Governorate from the point of view of male and female assistants

Abstract

         This research aimed to identify the level of administrative empowerment among secondary school principals in Nineveh Governorate/Al-Hamdaniya Education Directorate from the perspective of their assistant principals, and to determine whether there were statistically significant differences in the perceptions of the sample regarding the concept of administrative empowerment attributable to the variables of gender and years of service. The researchers used the descriptive-analytical method, and the research sample consisted of (49) assistant principals. The researchers selected the research sample through a comprehensive census of all members of the population. The most important results indicated that secondary school principals in Nineveh Governorate/Al-Hamdaniya Education Directorate enjoy an above-average level of administrative empowerment, and the research sample members were equal in their assessment of the level of administrative empowerment of school principals, with no differences attributable to the research variables  (gender, years of service), The researchers recommend supporting school principals by providing appropriate training programs that encourage them to exchange experiences among themselves and work as a team. The researchers suggest designing a training program to enhance the level of administrative empowerment among school principals throughout the country's governorates
