THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT IS EMPLOYED BY THE PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPALS WITHIN THE GREEN LINE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE DEGREE OF THEIR JOB PERFORMANCE EFFECTIVENESS AS PERCEIVED BY PRINCIPALS AND TEACHERS
Abstract
The study aimed to identify the extent to which the digital environment is employed by the public elementary school principals within the green line and its relationship to the degree of their job performance effectiveness as perceived by principals and teachers. The study used the correlative descriptive approach, and questionnaires were used as tools for data collection, as they were applied to a simple random sample of (353) principals and teachers. The results showed that the extent of employment of the digital environment among the public elementary school principals within the Green Line was high, the absence of statistically significant differences regarding the extent to which school principals employ the digital environment due to the variables (gender, years of experience, and academic qualification), and the presence of significant differences due to job title variable, in favor of principals. The results also showed that the degree of job performance effectiveness among the public elementary school principals within the Green Line was high, the absence of statistically significant differences regarding the degree of job performance effectiveness due to the variables (gender, years of experience, and academic qualification), and the presence of significant differences due to job title variable, in favor of principals. Besides, the results revealed an existence of a positive correlation between the extent of employment of the digital environment and the degree of job performance effectiveness. The study recommended evaluating the experiences of employing the digital environment in educational institutions and exchanging knowledge between these institutions and technological leaders, in order to enhance the development of these experiences and expand the scope of their application, also, the provision of sufficient feedback to employees about their performance evaluation to enable employees to identify their strengths and weaknesses.
