This paper presents findings of a study that examined faculty/staff perceptions of their principals' leadership styles, with a focus on their use of shared-governance approach. Data were gathered through a survey of 32 faculty and 20 staff members in four county schools in Tennessee and North Carolina. A majority of the sample reported that their principals provided personal autonomy and a cooperative environment, practiced shared-governance behaviors, and demonstrated effective leadership. There were no statistically significant differences between faculty and staff or between men and women respondents. Overall, the data showed a correlation between respondents' perceptions of shared-governance behaviors and satisfaction with their work environments. Five tables are included. (LMI)
