Abstract/Summary

This research is a study of administrative behavior in terms of delegation of authority in three selected schools. The aim of the study was to help busy principals improve their school management through delegation and sharing of administrative responsibility. The assumption was that freeing administrators from certain tasks would enable them to attend to their primary duties efficiently and effectively. Salient questions the research wanted to answer were : What tasks may be effectively delegated by the principal of a middle-sized, autonomous, adequately staffed high school? What tasks may not be delegated? How did the extent of delegation in the three schools compare with the model? What kind of organizational set-up would improve the management of Holy Trinity Academy? To attain the purpose of the study, an interview questionnaire was administered to principals of three selected schools in Zamboanga del Sur. The writer, together with her research group, also designed a delegation model which was used to compare the extent of delegation these principals had practiced in the areas of planning, decision-making, reporting, and supervision of instruction.
