  abstract: The first purpose of this study was to determine if the "Job Choice Decision-Making Exercise" tool developed by Stahl and Harrell (1983) is an appropriate measure of managerial motivation among public school administrators. The second intent of current investigation was to examine whether or not there is a difference between administrators and teachers in managerial motivation as measured by the Job Choice Exercise. The sample consisted of 30 principals, 30 assistant principals and 30 teachers from 30 secondary public schools within a 100 mile radius of College Station, Texas. All subjects participating in this study were voluntary and were informed of the purpose of the project. Each subject received a survey by mail which included: Stahl's Job Choice Decision-Making Exercise (JCE) with a separate answer sheet; The Manifest Needs Questionnaire (MNQ); and a Management Development Inventory Form B. All subjects also completed a data sheet which requested information such as age, salary, educational level.

It was found that performance measures were not correlated in a significant manner with managerial motivation. It was concluded that the JCE is not an appropriate measure of managerial motivation among public school administrators since it did not differentiate successful managers from less effective managers, nor did it differentiate administrators from teachers. Implications for the use of the JCE and other measures of motivation of public school administrators were discussed. The present research indicated that Stahl's Job Choice Exercise is not likely to be an appropriate pre-screening device for the selection of management personnel in the secondary public school system. Therefore, generalizations from research involving management of hierarchical organizations may not necessarily be appropriate regarding public school admini…
