Superintendents’ Human Resources Management Practices and their Relationships with Public School Principals’ Satisfaction and Commitment: Principals’ Perceptions


Abstract | الملخص

The current study aims to examine Kuwaiti school principals’ human resource management practices (HRMPs) and their effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment in public schools in Kuwait. HRMPs have been studied extensively in various industries. However, only a few studies have addressed the education industry. The data of the current study were collected using the survey method from a sample of 281 public school principals. Using appropriate statistical methods, the findings showed that (a) principals’ perceptions about job satisfaction and organizational commitment were moderate, while their perceptions about their superintendents’ HRMPs were less than moderate; (b) HRMPs were significant predictors of job satisfaction and organizational commitment; (c) job satisfaction dimensions also significantly predicted organizational commitment; and (d) HRMPs led to job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Relevant recommendations were included.
