Abstract:
The aims of this study were first to consider from a theoretical perspective performance appraisal as a concept and as it is practised in the Hunter Region of the NSW Department of School Education. Secondly, perceptions of the functioning of performance appraisal held by school principals in the Hunter Region were sought by questionnaire. Opinions of the principals on several dimensions of the appraisal process were measured, and appropriate scales developed. On the basis of questionnaire responses, subsequent interviews of a small number of targeted principals were also conducted to provide more qualitative data for analysis.
