Abstract
The preponderance of poor management of institutions especially secondary schools across the country has become a source of worry to stakeholders including principals, teachers, the government and even parents. Hence this study was carried out to examine the extent of entrepreneurial leadership and effective management of secondary schools in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja that enables them to effectively manage their schools. To achieve this objective, the study adopted Ex-post facto design. The study was carried out 56 secondary schools in FCT. The population of the study consists of 4234 personnel made up of 56 princicipals and4178 teachers. A sample of 231 respondents made up of 22 principals and 209 teachers were used for the study. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled “Entrepreneurial leadership and effective management of schools questionnaire ELEMSQ”. The structured questionnaire was face validated by 3 experts, 2 of which are in educational administration and planning and 1 educational measurement and evaluation of faculty of education of the University of Nigeria Nsukka. The cronbach alpha method was used to test the internal consistency of the questionnaire items to obtain coefficients of .91, .79,89, and .77 for the four clusters with an overall reliability of .92. The study was guided by four research questions and four null hypotheses which tested at 0.05 level of significance. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while t- test statistic was used test the null hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that entrepreneurial leadership influenced to very high extent on principals’ maintenance of school physical facilities, provision of instructional materials, supervision of instruction as well as the motivation of teachers for greater job commitment These influences helped to improve the quality of managerial leadership of school principals which actually enhanced the tone of school learning environment. It was further discovered that there were no significant difference between the mean ratings of the principals and teachers with regards to the influence of entrepreneurial leadership of principals on maintenance of physical facilities, provision of instructional materials, supervision of instruction and motivation of teachers in the schools. Based, on these results, it was recommended that there should be a policy framework that enables principals to compulsorily imbibe the attitude of adopting entrepreneurial leadership into the management of schools. It was further suggested that government at all levels must step up the responsibility of supply of school learning facilities and ensuring that they are adequately maintained.
