Ravnatelj svojim djelovanjem (bez obzira ovisi li o situaciji ili ciljevima) ne utječe samo na konačan uspjeh škole, nego i na međuljudske odnose, na školsku klimu, na motivaciju nastavnika i organizaciju rada škole. Upravo iz tog razloga nužno je ispitati socijalnu kompetenciju ravnatelja kako bi se potaknulo njihovo osposobljavanje, a potom i njihovo usavršavanje, jer vježbom se socijalne vještine mogu usavršiti (Goleman, 2008). Cilj rada je ispitati socijalne vještine koje su primjenjive u svim radnim sredinama te su kao takve prenosive iz jedne oblasti ljudskog rada na drugu. Sudionici ovog istraživanja su ravnatelji osnovnih i srednjih škola u Hrvatskoj(100ravnatelja/ravnateljica) bez obzira na spol, dob i zanimanje. U istraživanju je korišten Inventar socijalnih vještina (SSI; Riggio, 1986, 1989) koji je razvijen za mjerenje bazičnih socijalnih ili komunikacijskih vještina. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata moguće je zaključiti da se ispitanici muškog i ženskog spola ne razlikuju niti u jednoj neverbalnoj socijalnoj vještini: emocionalnoj izražajnosti, emocionalnoj osjetljivosti i emocionalnoj kontroli, niti u verbalnim socijalnim vještinama: socijalnoj izražajnosti, socijalnoj osjetljivosti i socijalnoj kontroli. Nadalje, možemo zaključiti da se ispitanici različiti zanimanja ne razlikuju niti u jednoj verbalnoj niti neverbalnoj socijalnoj vještini. Mogući uzrok ovakvim rezultatima je u uzorku (100 ispitanika) gdje bi i ona najmanja razlika na većem uzorku mogla biti značajna. The ability to communicate and interact effectively with other people is associated with a number of positive psychological and social consequences. This ability has variously been referred to as social skill, comunication competence, or social competence (Riggio, 1986, Spitzberg, 1987). Social competence includes functions like the understanding of their people’s feelings, the recognising of social clues, the antipation and judgement of consequences of social behaviour as well as the capability to actively exchange thoughts with other people. This study used Social Skills Inventory (SSI) (designed by Riggio, 1986) to measure different aspects of communication skills. This inventory assesses emotional expressivity, emotional sensitivity and emotional control. The SSI is positively and significantly associated with depth of social networks (Riggio, 1986), empathy (Riggio, Tucker and Coffaro, 1989), available social support (Riggio, Watring and Throckmorton, 1993), approachability and self- confidence (Jurcova and Stubova, 1999), conversational skills (Miczo, Segrin and Allspach, 2001), judges’ ratings of attractiveness (Riggio, Widaman, Tucker and Salinas, 1991) and accuracy of emotional expression (Tucker and Riggio, 1988). A short form of the SSI (Riggio and Canary, 2003) compresed of 30 items, was used for this investigation and had a reliability of .77. Items were measured using a five-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicatng a high level of social skills. Social competence is the ability to perform a certain task within a social context and implies knowledge as well as experience, attitudes and skills. A “lack of” competence can be countered with training, change of workplace or shange of environment. The aim of this study was to explore the role of social competence on the sex and occupation of a school principle (primary and secondary school principle). Results show that primary and secondary principles have social competence but there is no difference in social competence between female and male principles and their occupation. There was no specific study I could cite so this one is used to test hypothesis and built data.
