Abstract

The study investigated principals’ security management practices as correlates of teachers’ job performance in public secondary schools in South-East, Nigeria. The participants were 394 respondents obtained through multi-stage sampling procedure. Two instruments were used for data collection- Principals’ Security Management Questionnaire (PSMQ) and Teachers’ Job Performance Questionnaire (TJPQ). A reliability test was carried out and the reliability index obtained for PSMQ was 0.78 and  TMQ 0. 81  respectively using Cronbach Alpha method. Regression analysis was used to answer the research questions while regression analysis of variance was used in testing the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed  a significant high positive relationship between physical security management practices of principals and teachers’ job performance and a significant high positive relationship between physical security aids management practices of principals and teachers’ job performance was also revealed. Principals should endeavour to improve physical security practices in schools and principal should collaborate with the state government to ensure that adequate physical security aids are provided in schools.
