Προσδοκίες επάρκειας διευθυντών σε σχέση με τη φθορά που νιώθουν και την εμπιστοσύνη προς εκπαιδευτικούς, μαθητές και γονείς.

Περίληψη

The main goal of this piece of research was to investigate the beliefs of Cyprus primary school principals about their self-efficacy and how these beliefs affect their sense of burnout and trust they show towards teachers, students, and parents. A questionnaire was given to 55 primary school prin¬cipals in order to find out these views. Results indicate that these school principals have a high degree of self-efficacy which is positively correlated with regards to how much trust they indicate towards their students, teach¬ers and parents; further, this sense of self-efficacy is negatively correlated with the burnout they feel. Based on these results some suggestions are offered for future research in the area of principals’ sense of self-efficacy.
