Abstract

The passage of Florida's 1974 Collective Bargaining Act brought about a new era of labor relations between public employees and their employers. This legislation would, by its nature, have a general impact on education and a specific impact upon the Dade County, Florida principal who would administer the bargained agreements while having one himself. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to measure the degree of impact of collective bargaining upon the elementary principal. Conclusions: 1. There was a significant negative change in regard to the dimensions of Persistence and Stress, yet, the impact of the significance was in objective areas in which other influences were very strong. 2. The impact of collective bargaining was not significant in regard to principals' Educational Background, Educational Experience as an elementary principal, Sex, Total Pupil Enrollment of his school, or the Socio-Economic Level of his school. 3. The overall impact of Florida's 1974 Bargaining Law has not been felt by Dade County Elementary Principals. An important contributive factor has been the resemblance of the negotiated agreements to existent Board Policy.
