Abstract
In this study administrative behaviour of secondary Principals is examined to test hypotheses that assume this behaviour to be bureaucratic. Overall, non‐bureaucratic behaviour is found in the responses of a sample of twenty New South Wales high school Principals to a set of in‐basket items. An alternative role definition is therefore suggested — that of leader — and the implications of the Principals' leadership role definition are discussed.
