Stratified Random Technique was used in selecting 300 Teachers and 12 Principals from 12 Senior Secondary School (8 publics and 4 private schools) in Gwagwalada Area Council of the FCT which form 50% of the entire populations. Two questionnaires were used to collect relevant data. The questionnaires were \u201cPrincipals\u2019 Communication Behavior Questionnaire (PCBQ) and Teachers\u2019 Attitude to Work Questionnaire\u201d (TAWQ). The instruments were validated by experts in Educational Management in University of Abuja, Nigeria. The reliability co-efficient of PCBQ and TAWQ were ascertained, through a pilot test using 15 respondents. Their reliability coefficient values were found to be 0.872 and 0.798 respectively. The research questionnaires were analyzed by using mean and standard deviation, while multiple regressions were used to test the main hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that communication behaviors displayed by Principals in Gwagwalada Area Council Senior Secondary Schools are: assertive, aggressive, passive and avoidance communication behavior. The general attitude to work of teachers in Senior Secondary School in Gwagwalada Area Council is positive. However, the positive attitude varies from tasks to tasks and from school to school. Principal Communication Behavior made a contribution of 73.7% to teachers\u2019 attitude to work. This implies that about seventy-four percent of teachers\u2019 attitudes to work are accounted for by principals\u2019 communication behaviors. There is a significant relationship between principals\u2019 communication behavior and teachers\u2019 attitude to work in Senior Secondary School in Gwagwalada Area Council, Abuja. That is Principal\u2019s Communication behavior positively may have affect teachers\u2019 attitude toward their work or duty. The implication of this is that the extent to which the school Principals display assertive, aggressive, passive and avoidance communication behavior affects the extent to which teachers perform jobs and this will go a long way in determining school effectiveness in Gwagwalada Area Council Senior Secondary School. Principals\u2019 display communication behaviors that negatively affect teachers\u2019 attitude to work. Based on this, it was recommended that; there should be prompt dissemination of information and principals should be ready to discuss the goals and aspiration of the schools with the teachers. Principal\u2019 should actively employ the principle of participative management in decision making as this enhances cordial relationship.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Keywords:<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">communication behavior, altitude to work, teachers, principal, performance, Gwagwalada, FCT<\/span><\/p>                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"tab-pane elementkit-tab-pane elementor-repeater-item-62e3348 \" id=\"content-62e334869d903411ca33\" role=\"tabpanel\"\n                         aria-labelledby=\"content-62e334869d903411ca33-tab\">\n                        <div class=\"animated fadeIn\">\n                            <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Authors Brief Profile\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Ameh Jonah Alechenu holds a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Educational Administration and Planning and a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Geophysics.

The research contributes to improving school leadership and organizational effectiveness in the Nigerian education system by highlighting the link between effective communication practices and positive teacher work attitudes, The findings have practical implications for educational administrators, policymakers, and school leaders. They offer a basis for designing targeted leadership training and professional development programmes that emphasize effective communication skills for principals. Improved communication can enhance teacher motivation, job satisfaction, commitment, and productivity, which are critical for achieving quality teaching and learning outcomes. Furthermore, this research supports evidence-based decision-making by education authorities in strengthening school management policies within the FCT and similar contexts across Nigeria. As part of it&#8217;s effort to foster healthier principal\u2013teacher relationships and more supportive school environments, the study contributes to improved teacher performance and better academic outcomes for students, thereby supporting national goals for sustainable educational development.<\/span><\/p>                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"tab-pane elementkit-tab-pane elementor-repeater-item-bb8dae5 \" id=\"content-bb8dae569d903411ca33\" role=\"tabpanel\"\n                         aria-labelledby=\"content-bb8dae569d903411ca33-tab\">\n                        <div class=\"animated fadeIn\">\n                            <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.8; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Cite This Article<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">APA Style (7th Ed.): Jonah, A.

environment which is essential for interactions among personnel, positive interpersonal relationship as well as organizational cohesion. Communication refers to the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to express or exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., to someone else.\u00a0 (Merriam Webster &#8211; An Encyclopedia Britannica Company, 2015). Communication also refers to any process in which people share information, ideas and feelings which involves not only the spoken and written words but also body language, personal mannerisms and style (Nakpodia, [1]. The relevance of communication to any organization (private or public sector) cannot be over stated. Communication plays a central role in the effective and efficient management of any organization.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The principal of secondary Schools&#8217; who is the instructional leader and chief administrative officer plays the role of planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, controlling and evaluating the work of people especially those under him. This implies that the way the principal communicates or relate with staff, students, parents and other community members determines \u00a0 astronomically how the stakeholders \u00a0 view their individual and collective responsibility and roles within the school\u2019s system. This assertion is aptly supported by Idowu and Esere [2] who stated that: \u2018<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Communication permeates all levels of human experience and it is central to understanding human behavior and relationship efforts aimed at fostering behavioral change among individuals, group, organizations, communities and societies\u2019\u2019.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">As a distinct feature of any organization, communication is perceived as a pillar which maintains structure of peaceful co-existence and mutual understanding (Ojebode, [3]. In the context of Schools organization, communication is the transmission or sharing of ideas, messages or attitudes among administrators, teachers, student, parent and other constituents. It is the means through which action plans are coordinated towards the actualization of common goals and also serves as channel of motivating members of an organization to implement the plan of the organization willing and enthusiastically. In a similar assertion, ojebode (2006) stressed that: <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Much more than the manufacturing or other organizations; educational organization need managers and workers skilled in communication and interpersonal relationship because their raw materials and finished goods are human beings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">As chief administrative officers the performance of their task calls for adequate and well-structured planning that will trigger effective communication that will facilitate the attainment of the organization goals and objectives. Behavior is the way in which one act or conduct oneself, especially toward others. According to Iwundu [4], behavior simply means an action that a person overtly or covertly expresses overtime. Hence, we can predict what a person is likely to do given certain set of circumstances. A behavior is defined as any observable or measurable movement or activity of an individual. Ekero [5] also identified behavior as man action that has great deal of influence in his environment, just as the environment on has on him: hence the accumulation of behavior is a result of interaction with the environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Effective Communication and Principalship<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Effective communication in the secondary Schools system has been linked to the administrative powers of the schools\u2019 principals by a variety of studies (Pearson, Nelson, Titsworth and Harter, [6]; described effective communication as the life blood of every organization. Communication is said to be effective if the message intended by the initiator (the one putting out the communication) is understood in the same sense by the recipient (the one for whom the message is intended and who receives it). Obayi, (1998) noted that effective communication is the basic process to all functions which are performed in an organization. Effective communication is a social process for reduction of chaos, uncertainty and agitation. It serves as a unifying mechanism between various interdependent parts. It is a positive and reliable tool for achieving organizational goals.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Communication is significant within the school\u2019s organization for a number of reasons.

He should be able to control his actions in certain situations to enable him in good relationship with his subordinates who must partake in the achievement of the set goals.

It relies on honest, direct and appropriate expression of needs, wants or feelings as a first, not a last resort. The manual acceptance of each other\u2019s position leads to more open and fruitful communication.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">An assertive principal ensures that adequate information is gathered before decisions are taken. An assertive principal is comfortable during information exchange with the teachers and acknowledges the importance of building trust and confidence in his staff during information about the organization. Adeyemi [9] also noted that principals with assertive communication behavior see the need to democratize decision making and problem solving. This further and consultative in their approach towards Schools issues.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Aggressive Communication Behavior<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Aggressive behavior shows both physically and verbally of anger or dominance. It can be an automatic reaction or one-off reaction to a particularly sensitive or threatening situation or perhaps the straw that broke the camel\u2019s back. Aggression can sometimes be an expression of fear, lack of self-esteem, or inability to control a situation in any other way.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">An aggressive principal does not pay attention to issues bothering his\/her staff as he tends not to listen to them as much as the staff expects. In this situation, communication is usually one sided and not bi-directional and mostly different from principals who like to consult with staff before decision making is reached. Olaniyan [10] and Hoy and Miskel (1992) concurred that a principal whose communication behavior is aggressive does not maintain clear channels of communication between themselves and their subordinates. This implies that such principals do not believe in delegating or permit subordinates to take part in decision making.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u00a0Passive or submissive communication behavior<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Passive communication behavior lets one to reduce anxiety, guilt or fear by letting your views or thought be misconstrued, ignored or lets you be taken advantage of. We often experience an immediate pleasant effect from pleasing others, wanting to appear polite and helpful in an excessive way or wanting to avoid a \u2018scene\u2019. A passive principal in most situations seems to allow complete freedom to group decision without his or her participation. This type of communication behavior allows subordinates such as teachers, the opportunity to engage in their statutory functions the way they like without any form of direction. In communicating, the principal does not interfere with events determined by the group. This indicates that principals with passive communication behavior are nonchalant about their subordinates carrying out their functions as well as the decision they make.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Avoidance Communication Behavior<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Avoidance is used to avoid any confrontation. It ignores the isolation of rights and responsibilities through fear of consequences or because you don\u2019t wish to be bothered with the consequences. People can avoid uncomfortable situations either through refusal to recognize the problem or deliberately side-stepped confrontational situations. Principals whose communication behavior is linked to the avoidance style are more concerned about refraining from unnecessary discussions or disagreements with staff.\u00a0 In most cases, such principals do not entertain confrontation among staff or with staff. In situations where such conflicts occur, principals with avoidance communication behavior exempt themselves from participating fully in resolving such problems.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Having clarified the basic types of communication, it is well cleared that every aspect of communication come down to what is said how it is said. Therefore, principals who want to achieve the objectives of the organization should adopt a conclusive type of communication behavior at a certain circumstance taking into consideration importance of a coherent pattern of voice, speech content, facial expression etc. if he is to convey the intended behavior clearly.<\/span><b id=\"docs-internal-guid-30dd90b0-7fff-13c8-1d39-5724448a0c49\" style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Passive-Aggressive behaviors<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Much like passive communication behaviors, passive-aggressive behaviors display a lack of confidence and strength; however, as with aggressive communication, passive-aggressive communicators show a need to express emotions &#8212; but in a fearful way. People who communicate in this way may avoid the objects of their anger while releasing anger indirectly, such as through backhanded compliments or talking negatively about others behind their backs. The passive-aggressive communicator is the person who smiles at you when he or she is actually angry with you, the person who appears calm and cooperative but subtly disrupts, spread rumors and sabotages, according to Signe Whitson, a licensed social worker, in the Psychology Today article &#8220;Passive Aggressive vs. Assertive Behavior in Relationships.&#8221; This type of communicator does whatever it takes to quietly get revenge.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Purpose of the study<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The general purpose of this study is to ascertain the influence of principals\u2019 communication behaviors on teachers\u2019 attitude to work in Gwagwalada Area Council of FCT Secondary Schools.

The samples size for this study consists of 8 Principals and 231 teachers which is 50% of the entire populations. A random sampling technique is used to select the respondent. This study selected only principals and teachers who had been in their current positions for 5 or more years. The researcher used questionnaire to collect data from the respondents. The researcher designed instrument title principals\u2019 communication behavior (PCBQ) and teachers\u2019 attitudes to work questionnaire (TAWQ). The PCBQ and TAWQ is divided into two sections. Section 1 contains question on personal data such as rank, gender, teaching experience and educational qualifications. Section 2 contains questions on principals\u2019 communication behaviors and teachers\u2019 attitude to work respectively in Gwagwalada senior secondary Schools. The instrument is a four-point rating scale with response mode of strongly agree (SA) = 4, Agree (A) = 3, disagree (D) =2 and strongly disagree (SD) =1<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The internal consistency reliability of the instrument was ascertained through a trial testing using 20 teachers and five principals from public senior secondary Schools in Kwali area council of Abuja a sister Area council.

However, the positive attitude varies from tasks to tasks and from Schools to Schools as can be seen from the respondent responses in table 7. Teachers resume work in time except in some few cases in public senior secondary Schools and this can be trace to lack of proper supervision or checkmate on the teachers by their superordinate. Teachers plan ahead what they will teach and what method to use in delivering lesson in a way that will foster better understanding by the student. They also attend to their lessons according to the time table schedule.\u00a0 Though not a good percentage agreed that teachers submit their class record as at when due, but their attitude toward this is still positive. Senior secondary Schools teachers in Gwagwalada area council like to assist dull student who show interest to learn. They also use adequate teaching materials for teaching where available especially in government Schools. Private Schools in Gwagwalada still need to do more on this regard particularly in making teaching materials available for teachers. Teachers in senior secondary Schools in Gwagwalada also motivate individual student\u2019s creativities, help them to solve identified problems and evaluate students\u2019 performance in order to evaluate and reform their teaching techniques.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Findings from the main hypothesis:<\/span><\/p><ol style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;\"><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre; margin-left: -18pt;\" aria-level=\"1\"><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The Multiple Regression of Principal Communication Behavior and Teachers Attitude to work above shows that the regression coefficient (R square) is 0.737. This indicates that about 73.7% of the variation in teachers\u2019 attitude to work is accounted for by principals\u2019 communication behavior. It can therefore be inferred that Principals\u2019 communication behavior affects teachers\u2019 job performance which is an important indicator of Schools effectiveness in Senior Secondary Schools in Gwagwalada Area Council of the FCT.\u00a0 This implies that a principal\u2019s communication behavior affects teacher\u2019s attitude toward their work or duty. The implication of this is that the extent to which the Schools Principals display assertive, aggressive, passive and avoidance communication behavior affect teacher\u2019s jobs performance and this will go a long way in ensuring Schools effectiveness in Gwagwalada area council Senior Secondary Schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre; margin-left: -18pt;\" aria-level=\"1\"><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The assertive behavior displayed by Principal affects the type of attitude teachers in secondary Schools exhibit in work place as seen by the calculated F-value 13.881.

This also implies that Principals aggressive communication behavior influences teachers\u2019 attitude to their work more than the other three communication behaviors. Principals thus should understand what it means to display aggressive behavior and should therefore minimize the use of aggression to communicate.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/li><li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"list-style-type: decimal; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre; margin-left: -18pt;\" aria-level=\"1\"><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The conclusion from the preceding findings is that Principals are deficient in terms of communication behavior particularly and decision-making process.
