MANAGERIAL SUPERVISION AS A KEY FACTOR IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALS’ COMPETENCIES

Abstract

Managerial supervision tends to receive less attention than academic supervision, even though the managerial aspects of a school are essential for supporting quality in each educational unit. However, the supervision services provided by school supervisors must, of course, be adapted to the specific needs of each school. This study aims to explore the impact of managerial supervision on the competence of school principals, using a quantitative approach involving 52 principals in Sukabumi Regency. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using simple regression. The results indicate that managerial supervision influences the competence of school principals. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that effective managerial supervision can enhance the competence of school principals. Therefore, the government must pay more serious attention to the implementation of managerial supervision.
