Abstract:

In the present study random sampling method was used. Pandey (2005) defines random sampling method as a method where all members or units of the population have an equal and independent chance of being included. An observation reveals that correlation coefficient for administrative success came out to be + 0.145 with df 98 which is not significant at 0.05 level. It means that administrative success of secondary school principals working in government schools was not related with the theorist value. Alternatively, it is also interpreted that increase or decrease in the scores of theorist value did not affect the scores of administrative success of government secondary school principals. It depicts that coefficient of correlation for administrative success and pragmatist value came out to be (-0.289) which is highly significant at 0.01 level with df 98. Negative value of coefficient of correlation indicates that the two variables administrative success and pragmatist value is inversely related with each other. It means that government principals who had high score on pragmatist value exhibited low level of administrative success and those who had low inclination toward pragmatist value had more chance to have high score an administrative success and vice-versa. It means that higher the pragmatist value lower the administrative success of government secondary school principals. depicts that coefficient of correlation ‘r’ between administrative success and idealist value for government school principals came out to be -0.073 which is not significant at 0.05 level of significance. It indicates that the two variables administrative success and idealist value of government school principals were not related with each other. Further, it is also concluded that variation in the scores of idealist value did not affect significantly the scores of administrative success of government school principals.
