Abstract

Eighty superintendents and 118 principals responded to a questionnaire which was concerned with the extent to which they perceived their district union contract put constraints on their power. Data were analyzed through t-tests and one-way analysis of variance. Results indicated that superintendents felt considerably less constraint than principals. Superintendents and principals also reacted differently regarding the extent of freedom they felt they had to talk and act on both educational and personal problems.
