Abstract

The principal's competencies play a vital role in supporting quality of leadership. According to the Indonesia government regulation, principal has to hold five competencies which are: personality competency, managerial competency, entrepreneurship competency, supervision competency, and social competency. This study was conducted to describe the three of five competencies of principals. They were managerial competency, entrepreneurship competency, and supervision competency of elementary schools principals. Based on the results of study towards 42 samples of elementary school principals in Makassar, it was found that the mean score on the test results of the three competencies was in middle category. When it was analyzed on each item of competencies, the managerial and entrepreneurship competencies were in middle category, while the supervision competency was in the low category. The results of the research indicated that the local government needs to prepare for school principals through pre-service training in some area of principals' task. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
