The result shows:1) there is a positive correlation between self-concept and the principals‟ performance by correlation coefficient ry1= 0,451 and the equation of simple linier regression = 8,188 + 0,970X1; 2) there is a positive correlation between empathy and the principal‟s performance by correlation coefficient ry2 = 0,685 accounted variance r2 y1 = 0.469 and the equation of simple linier regression = 36, 352 + 0.695x2.; 3) there is positive correlation between emotional intelligence and the principals‟ performance by correlation coefficient ry3 = 0,685 accounted variance r2 y3 = 0,469 and the equation of simple linier regression = 30,752 + 0,775x3. ; 4) there is a positive correlation between there predicator variables and the principals‟ performance by correlation coefficient ry.123 = 0,748 accounted variance r2 y.123 = 0,560 and the equation of simple linier regression = 33, 172 + 0,003X1 + 0,297X2+ 0,441X3. All the testing were at = 0.001 level of significance.
