Abstract The Objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of organizational communication taking place between the school principals and the two groups of subordinates - the academic and administrative staff:" members. The data was collected from 28 principals, eo administrative staff members, and 310 teachers selected from 12 senior secondary achoo La of Ethiopia by systematic: sampling method. Two schools were picked by lottery (simple random sampling method) from each zone in the country. Two types of questionnaire were employed to collect the necessary data from the principals and their subordinates. The study revealed that principals do not have a thorough understanding of the general principles of organizational communication and they have not applied them in their schools. because of this and other reasons, staff members seem to lack the courage and interest to transmit their suggestions, comments, etc. upwards. Although the flow of messages is primarily downward that even does~ not,'look to be effective. Generally, it appears that there is no conducive climate for communication and this;has made the networks! faulty and not able to facilitate school work. It is believed that these problems can be alleviated by organizing worksAops and training programs to ae~ua1nt prinoipals with the basic principles of communiaation so tha,t they cen iJnprove communication in the .schools.
