Abstract :
The research purpose was to examine the relationship between the career anchors and performance of school administrator. The study was correlational and the sample size was calculated using the Cochrane formula based on which 133 people using stratified random sampling method were selected from among all school administrators in elementary, middle and high schools in Sanandaj in the school year 2012-2013. The research tools included Schein career anchors questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire of the administrator performance. Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis by SPSS and Amos were used to analyze the data. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between the career anchors (technical/ functional competence, managerial competence, autonomy/independence, security/ stability, entrepreneurial creativity and pure challenges) and the performance of administrator. However, path analysis indicated that anchors autonomy/ independence, security/ stability and entrepreneurial creativity influence performance of administrator.
