  abstract: The purpose of this study was to discover the degree of self efficacy among female superintendents in Texas public school districts and the significant developmental areas of self efficacy that occurred during their career pathways. This study also examined the relationship between career pathways (years of service and positions held) and self efficacy, as well as the relationship between developmental areas (modeling, verbal persuasion, physiological arousal, and mastery experiences) and self efficacy. This study identified all female public school superintendents in the state of Texas during the 1999-2000 school year through the use of the Texas Association of School Administrators data file. Each of the 112 female superintendents (approximately 10 % of all superintendents in Texas) were sent a modified version of the General Perceived Self Efficacy Scale, and 74 % (n=83) of the female superintendents in Texas responded to the survey. Using descriptive statistics, the study revealed a strong sense of self efficacy among female superintendents. The significant developmental areas of self efficacy experienced during their career pathways included physiological arousal, mastery experiences, and verbal persuasion. These developmental areas also showed significant correlations with self efficacy ranging from 95 % to 99 % probability, but there was no significant correlation between career pathways and self efficacy. The researcher made the following recommendations : (1) Aspiring female superintendents should evaluate their self efficacy in terms of their career pathways. (2) Aspiring female superintendents should seek opportunities for self efficacy growth through four key developmental areas (modeling, verbal persuasion, physiological arousal, and mastery experiences). (3) University educational programs and school districts should encourage aspiring female superintendents to seek opportunities for self efficacy growth, as well as providing those oportunities. (4) Pr…
