The universe of the study, which was undertaken by using the survey model, was composed of 284 novice school principals starting their administrative careers in Bolu and Duzce after completing the Administrative Training Course organized by the Ministry of Education in 2014-2015 academic year. The total universe was accessed during the lifetime of the study and 217 of 284 principals provided feedback. Data were collected with the help of Competency Scale for School Administrator and means, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used in data analysis. The results obtained in the study are as follows: In general, school principals perceived themselves as having high level of self-efficacy. The highest levels of self-efficacy perception were found in educational leadership, personnel development and decision making based on legal and ethical principles and data sub dimensions whereas the lowest self-efficacy levels were observed in developing cooperation with the community sub dimension. While career status, method of administrative assignment, level of education and seniority did not point to significant differences in novice school principals' self-efficacy perceptions, gender variable was found to be in favor of female principals in the scale in general and in the following sub dimensions: developing the school climate and vision, educational leadership and personnel development and decision making based on legal and ethical principles and data. The study suggests that school principals should develop themselves in terms of teaching-learning processes, school budget and getting to know the environment, that it is essential and of high priority to provide quality personnel to the schools administered by novice principals and that the number of female principals should be increased.
