Leadership Styles and Management Functions of the University of Eastern Philippines (UEP) Executives
Keywords:
Leadership Style, Management Functions, ExecutivesAbstract
The study was intended to find out and describe the leadership styles in relation to the major management functions of the University of Eastern Philippine (UEP) executives. The study used the normative-descriptive research design with the questionnaire as the chief instrument used in data gathering. It was supplemented by documentary facts, and personal observation of the researcher on the subject executives. UEP executives encountered many administrative problems in the exercise of their official functions. Foremost, was the problem of limited facilities, followed by the slowness in the purchase and procurement of supplies and materials, uncooperativeness of some subordinates, political influences, misinterpretation of good intention by some subordinates, lack of time for supervision, and difficulty in internalizing work ethics and the values of service orientation of some faculty members and other subordinates. The UEP executives were also high in both consideration and initiating structures of leadership. They were rated “strong” in these dimensions of leadership by their constituents. They were friendly and approachable; always get the approval of their subordinates before going ahead; they always give advance notice of change when changes in the duties of the subordinates were necessary. The executives were also considered by their subordinates as task-and-development-oriented leaders. Despite the difference in the perception of the executives and their subordinates on the UEP executives’ leadership styles and the extent of their management practices, both groups of respondents believe that UEP executives had “strong” qualities of a good leader and good manager.
