    (INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY (IJREP), 2021-01-27) Fashiku, C. O., Yusuf, A. A., & Fashiku, B. C.
    The study investigated the joint and relative contributions of emotional intelligence, years of experience, and self-esteem in predicting principals’ administrative efficacy in public secondary schools in Kwara State. The population for the study comprised the entire 430 principals in Kwara State public secondary schools. Based on their years of experience, 195 principals were purposively selected. For data collection, one validated research instrument tilted Emotional Intelligence, Self-esteem, and Principals’ Efficacy Questionnaire (EISPFQ) developed by the researchers was used. Its reliability coefficient index was 0.75. The data collected were analysed using percentage scores and Multiple Regression Statistics. Based on the analysis, the results showed that most of the principals had a high level of administrative efficacy (50.8%). It also showed that emotional intelligence, years of experience and self-esteem when combined are significant predictors of principals’ administrative efficacy (51.3%; Adj. R2=.513), and the prediction of emotional intelligence (Beta= 0.16, t= 4.73), and self-esteem (Beta= 0.23, t= 3.79) are significant to principals’ efficacy, while the prediction of years of experience (Beta= -0.04, t= 0.62) was found not significant. It was recommended that principals in Kwara State public secondary schools would achieve greater administrative efficacy in discharging their responsibilities for the actualization of school goals and objectives if their efficacy belief is strengthened and are well motivated.
