Administrative Communications and its Impact on Increasing the Effectiveness of Managerial Decisions Among Secondary School Principals

Abstract

Objective: This study sought to reveal the role of administrative communications and their impact on the effectiveness of administrative decisions among school principals in Jordan. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: A descriptive and analytical approach was employed to examine the relationships between variables. The study included 125 secondary school principals from Jordan, who were randomly selected from three different cities. The researcher designed a questionnaire to gather the necessary data. Findings: The study revealed that the demographic variables of the individuals in the sample did not have any impact on the differences in perceptions of the effectiveness of administrative communications in secondary schools in Jordan. However, the study found that gender did play a role in causing variations in the responses. Furthermore, the implementation of these features in the information required by schools in Jordan has resulted in increased acceptance among workers. Ultimately, this has had a positive impact on the effectiveness of administrative decisions. Research Limitations/Implications: The study suggests that enhancing communication patterns among employees at the same administrative level, as well as between managers and employees, can improve the effectiveness of administrative decisions. This can be achieved by promoting greater interest in sharing information with specific characteristics.
