A study of personality factors was conducted as predictors of administrative behaviour and found no significant relationship was found to exist between democratic-autocratic principal administrative behaviour and traditional-emergent principal value orientation. When the relationship between democratic-autocratic principal administrative behaviour and personality was assessed the F- values were too low to be considered significant. It has been tried to relate certain personality characteristics and four administrative personality characteristics and four administrative performance factors consisting of participation of teachers in decision making, social support and managerial support of teachers. He found no correlation association between selected personality characteristics of elementary school principals and the administrative performance factors of sharing in decision making
