This survey study was a descriptive-correlational research. The statistical population of this study included teachers of agricultural secondary education centers of Tehran province (N=91) which 46 members were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling method. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. Validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a panel of faculty members at faculty of Agricultural Economics and Development, University of Tehran and reliability of the instrument was determined by Cronbach’s alpha (0.75-0.95). SPSS version 11.5 was employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the most teachers evaluated administrators’ job performance at medium level.
