An attempt is made to describe the decision making phenomenon in this study primarily by analyzing the principal’s practice and investigating the same from the faculty point of view in technical education institutions. An effort was made to develop an idea of participative decision-making as a set construct which understands various dimensions of decision making. It examined the practices of the principal in inciting and strengthening teacher participation. Principal reported themselves as to avoid a show of surprise when amazing ideas come forward from the group and to always encourage group development and teacher expression. Though Principals support the teaching faculty politically, but they set a clear limit to teachers. On the other hand, increased learning opportunities have been accepted by the teachers in participative environment. Empowerment to increase authority in their positions, shared governance, increased autonomy, job security have been not accepted by the teaching faculty in terms of principals’ decision making practices rather reported increased accountability.
