Abstract

The study examined the human relation practices adopted by principals for effective performance of
teachers in the public and private secondary schools in Anambra State. The study was a descriptive
research design. The study was carried out in Anambra State. The population of the study comprised
27, 700 teachers in the 952 secondary schools in Anambra State. This is composed of 12,700 teachers
in the 266 public secondary schools. 15,000 teachers in the 686 private secondary schools in Anambra
state. The sample size was made up of 2500 (748 public and 1, 752 private) teachers from 95 secondary
schools in the six Education Zones in Anambra State, using multiple stage sampling procedure. The
instrument for data collection was a researchers’-structured questionnaire titled: Principals’ Human
Relations Practices for Effective Performance of Teachers’ Questionnaire (PHRPEPTQ). The validity
of the instrument was established by three experts, while the Cronbach Alpha method was adopted for
reliability testing and coefficient values of 0.88 for delegation of authority and 0.78 for conflict
resolution were obtained. The data was analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the
research questions and t-test to test the hypotheses. The study concluded that principals of public and
private secondary schools adopt delegation of authority and conflict resolution practices for effective
performance of teachers in Anambra State. Based on the findings, it was recommended that Ministry of
Education should organize symposium for principals of both public and private secondary schools on
the need to sustain their practice of conflict resolution so as to promote effective teachers’ performance
