Abstract
This study examined the relationship between principals’ social
awareness and teachers’ job involvement in secondary schools in Abia State,
Nigeria. A correlational research design was adopted. The population comprised
16,650 teachers, from which a sample of 660 was drawn using multi-stage
sampling techniques, with 639 valid responses analyzed. Data were collected
using the Principals’ Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (PEIQ) and Teachers’
Job Involvement Questionnaire (TJIQ), both validated and tested for reliability.
Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used for data analysis. Findings
revealed a high positive relationship (r = 0.67) between principals’ social
awareness and teachers’ job involvement. The study further showed that this
relationship was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The study concluded
that principals’ social awareness plays a vital role in enhancing teachers’ job
involvement, thereby improving school effectiveness.
