The Assistant Principal: In Quandry or Comfort?

Croft, John C.; Morton, John R.

Data from an urban (Houston, Texas) and a rural (Kansas) sample on the relationship between perceived job satisfaction and career stability of assistant principals are analyzed and compared with the results of earlier findings by Austin and Brown. There is a significant relationship between job satisfaction and career stability, as well as considerably greater satisfaction and perceived career stability than in the Austin and Brown study. Suggestions are made for further study of the role. (Author/MLF)
