A comparison of the effective of the single-rater and the multirater procedures for improving the performance and morale of public elementary school teachers

Abstract

The study attempted to find out which of two rating procedures is more effective in improving the performance and morale of public elementary school teachers. More specifically, the study tried to find out the answers to the following questions. 1. Is there a difference between the job performance of teachers who are rated by their principals only and those who are rated by other significant persons besides the principal? 2. Is there a difference between the morale of teachers who are rated by their principals only and those who are rated by other significant persons besides the principal? 3. Is there a change in the teachers' perception of the supervisory behavior of the principals after the treatment? How do the principals of the experimental and control groups compare as to supervisory behavior after the treatment? 4. Is there a significant difference in teacher relationship noted in the groups receiving the treatment? How do experimental and control groups compare as to teacher relationships after the treatment?
