The purpose of this study is to explore the relationships between ‘job involvement’ and ‘school administrative effectiveness’ as perceived by junior high school administration teachers. The findings are as follows. (1) The current status of ‘job involvement’ and ‘school administrative effectiveness’ as perceived by administration teachers is positive. (2) The perception of ‘job involvement’ and ‘school administrative effectiveness’ significantly differs with ‘age’, ‘marital status’, ‘educational background’, ‘seniority of concurrent post’, ‘concurrent post’ and ‘school size’. (3) ‘Job involvement’ and ‘school administrative effectiveness’ as perceived by administration teachers are significantly and positively related.

This paper considers the problems of determining the robust exponential stability and estimating the exponential convergence rate for delayed neural networks with parametric uncertainties and time delay. The relationship among the time-varying delay, its upper bound, and their difference is taken into account. Theoretic analysis shows that our result includes a previous result derived in the literature. As illustrations, the results are applied to several concrete models studied in the literature, and a comparison of results is given.
