Abstract: To explore the mechanism between competence and job satisfaction of principals in rural schools, a sample of 269 principals in rural area was recruited in the study to complete competence scale, leadership efficiency scale, professional identify scale, and job satisfaction scale. The results indicated that:(1) Competence could positively predict leadership efficiency significantly (γ=0.57, t=11.33, p<0.001), and leadership efficiency could positively predict job satisfaction of principals in rural school significantly (γ=0.48, t=4.87, p<0.001). So, leadership efficiency mediated the effect of competence on job satisfaction of principals in rural school. (2)Leadership efficiency could positively predict professional identify (γ=0.59, t=8.40, p<0.001) significantly, and professional identify could positively predict job satisfaction of principals in rural school significantly. So, professional identify mediated the effect of leadership efficiency on job satisfaction of principals in rural school. Therefore, we could infer that leadership efficiency and the professional identify played a chain mediating effect between competence and job satisfaction of principals in rural school.

Key words: competence, leadership efficiency, professional identify, job satisfaction
