Abstract: This study aimed at identifying the perspectives of the principals of the Jordan Badia areas schools on the applicability of the self-management principles in their schools. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher, relying on the theoretical literatures and pervious studies in the area of the self-management, prepared and developed the study instrument which was a questionnaire comprised (42) items. The items were distributed over two domains: Human Resources Management and Financial Resources Management. The validity and reliability of the instrument was ensured and then distributed over a sample of (179) male and female principals of the North, Middle and South Jordan Badia areas schools which were chosen by the stratified random manner in compliance with the study variables. The study indicated that the visions of the principals of the Jordan Badia areas schools about the applicability of the self-management principles in their schools were (3.12) with a medium degree. It further indicated that there are no statistically significant differences of the gender and years of experience effects on the applicability degree. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education should continue supporting orientation toward actual decentralization in the educational management. This could be achieved through granting the school principals more powers and enable them participate in the decision making so as to perform their managerial and technical duties with high harmony and effectiveness. The study further recommended research toward designing comprehensive applied training programs to prepare the school principals in the light of the school self-management methodology in the Jordan Badia areas so as to transform their schools from less advantaged into more remarkable ones.
