Principals' perceptions of their leadership efficacy play an important role in the success of the buildings they lead. This study was designed to contribute to the body of educational leadership literature pertaining to principal self-efficacy (PSE), thus informing principals and central office administrators of the importance of PSE. Thus far, research dealing with principal self-efficacy (PSE) has relied heavily on self-reporting. Therefore, the first research question explored the relationship between self-reported PSE ratings and the principals' efficacy ratings and predicted PSE by their teachers. The second research question explored whether or not there is any value in enhancing PSE across the three leadership realms explored: instructional, managerial, and moral leadership tasks. The Principal Sense of Efficacy Scale (PSES), an instrument developed by Tschannen-Moran and Gareis (2004) to measure principals' self-reported leadership efficacy, was administered to a stratified random sample of principals and teachers across the state of Ohio. Demographic variables of race, gender, building level, district typology, and years of service, overall and in current position, were collected. Performance Index (PI) and school building student enrollment data were also collected. Results were analyzed using SPSS Version 18 to compute descriptive and inferential statistics. Significant findings and implications for educational leaders were discussed.
