The stimulus is intended to create a condition where the principals have chances to gain high achievement motivation and a positive communication attitude. In order to improve achievement motivation, it is recommended that promotion to be a principal is not a termination of a carrier, to make inventory, documentation and publication of achievement values, and to give achievement motivation test to principal candidates.
