dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted for the development of a training program to reduce the newly inducted head teachers' anxiety at secondary school level in Pakistan. The anxiety is the state which affects the performance of the school heads. The purpose of this study was to develop the anxiety reduction program for the newly inducted secondary school heads.The researcher conducted the study by applying pre-test post-test experimental research design. A total of 30 newly inducted secondary school heads (17 male heads and 13 female heads at secondary school level) were selected from public sector Institutes of district Bhakkar. Likert-type questionnaire to measure the level of anxiety was circulated among the newly inducted secondary school heads as pre-test and post-test. The questionnaire comprised of 30-items and was adapted from three standardized major anxiety measuring scales namely (1) The Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ-1990) developed to assess whether an individual experiences difficult to control, excessive, and frequent worry (Meyer, Miller, 1990) (2) The State Trait Inventory (STAT-1970) measuring the current anxiety level of the individual (Spielberger-1970) and (3) The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) measuring the anxiety experiences of an individual . Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques such as means, standard deviation and t-test were used to analyze the collected data. After careful data analysis, the researcher concluded that there is no significant difference between the levels of anxiety of the newly inductedhead teachers at secondary school level. The secondary school heads showed their high level of anxiety at pre-test. It was also found that the anxiety level was reduced to a certain extent after giving the treatment to the newly inducted heads of the secondary schools. At the end useful suggestions and recommendations were presented for upcoming research studies.en_US
