CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the background of the study, the statement of the
problem, the significance of the study and the scope and delimitation of the
study.
Background of the Study
The manner of acceptance by the administrators, teachers, personnel and
internal stakeholders on the school management cannot be excluded by the
education planners in the execution of all its implementations. The way they will
behave can greatly affect the efficiency and effectiveness of every administrative
system. Through times, ordinates as to how employees attitude towards work
and organizational undertakings are being studied to find ways to enliven
organizational values.
Value statements, vision and missions are being forged to heighten the
drive of every individual in the school to participate actively in school activities
and serve as asset in the human resource. At this point, every education
institutions are faced with the challenge to make their employees more dynamic
by manipulating changing behaviors that will sink in to employee participations
and acceptance to the school setting including on how they will grow with the
school and their plans of staying with over a long period of time (Everard: 201,
2014).
The researcher , being an administrator for __ years, have observed the
same situation as Cronwell (27:2013) stated that school management has less

instinct of managing others which makes it lesser reliable under certain

circumstances due to the fact that individual differ in their ways and level of
acceptance in the school situation. It is somehow being rationalized by most
school managers that the issues are of colleagues and subordinates causes
where in fact, the school values has something big to do with it over the period of
time.
On the onset, the stakeholders engagement can be a great tool in
pacifying internal organizational values where school personnel would set aside
their dissimilar interest if the school development through the great participation
of the outside sources are tapped (Dash and Dash: 2010). These outside
sources from the stakeholders was proved to pave way to further enhanced the
services of the school to benefit the great clients which is the students in
attaining the goals and objectives of the school which is quality of education.
The need to improve the skill of the school administrators in contracting
the organizational values of every individual players in the school and enabling
capacity to build the confidence of the stakeholders is a turnout challenge that
may lead to a better organizational formation or may build walls against the
personnel and administrative people. In this light, it is in the hands of the
administrators that development must be contained in the heart and mind of the
personnel of the school while having the stakeholders maintain the image that
the school is doing well for the job of educating the students. (Desiderio: 2013)

In an Office Memorandum dated June 15, 2013, Dr. Rizalino D. Rivera,

Program seeks to institute quality and continuous improvement in model
schools division and public schools as part of the implementation of the

Program.

towards excellent education and linkages of the school from the stakeholders
involvement greatly affect the improvement of the school in instituting education
for the students. In this way, the school administrators, and even teachers and
personnel, may be guided by a development agenda which will be the strategic
path of the school in its aim for a better service to the students and be able to
meet what the clients are expected out of them.

monitoring and evaluation to ensure that the teaching process is effectively
delivered by the teachers to the students through class observations, motivation,
