Abstract

As school leaders, school administrators experience stress while leading their schools. At present, there are only two instruments developed that examine the school administrators’ stress while little attention is given to Malaysian's schooling context. Thus, this study was conducted to examine the reliability and validity of the stressors that caused stress to the school administrators in Malaysian schools. Items were inspected on its’ reliability, validity and homogeneity. Through the conducted analyses, findings indicate that the items had a good consistency and reliability in measuring the school's administrator's stressor within Malaysian context of schooling.
