Abstract:

The study aimed to determine the significant relationship between educational philosophies and management styles of directors, deans, supervisors, principals and heads from government and non-government colleges and universities in Davao City for SY 2005-2006. Employing descriptive-correlation method as research design, two types of standardized questionnaire as instruments, with frequency, percentage, mean, likelihood ratio and chi-square as statistical tools, results showed that there was significant relationship between educational philosophies and management styles.  It is therefore recommended that administrators should adopt a combination of workable management styles that best fit the work environment. The study may also be used by a prospective administrator as a baseline data in measuring one’s educational philosophy as an early indicator of the person’s management style.
