Few studies have examined job satisfaction and performance of workers in top management. The
primary purpose of this research project was to establish whether there is a relationship between
job satisfaction and performance of principals in secondary schools. The population target was all
the principals in both private and public secondary schools in Mombasa District.
To realize the purpose of the research study, a survey was done to collect primary data by use of
structured questionnaires. Drop and pick method was used to collect the questionnaires. A census
of all the 37 schools was carried out in Mombasa District of which a total of 30 questionnaires
were responded to and returned.
The major finding of this research was that the principals were dissatisfied as far as the
remuneration and fair reward is concerned. Other factor such as uncooperative parents and
rampant student indiscipline was a cause of dissatisfaction. Based on this findings it is
recommended that the ministry of education and other education stakeholders should formulate
policies regarding merits and performance of principals in secondary schools among others.
It is also recommended that greater attention on disciplinary procedures which are fair, full and
quick should be agreed upon between the management and the principals
