EVOLUTION AND FOUNDATION OF MANAGEMENT
Management - The process of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling an organization’s resources such as human, financial, material resources to achieve specific goals efficiently and effectively. THE CONCEPT OF EVOLUTION AND FOUNDATION OF MANAGEMENT Four (4) Major Eras: Pre-scientific Management Period (Before the 1880’s) Classical Theory (1880s – 1930s) Neo-classical Theory (1930s- 1950s) Modern Strategies (1950s – Present)
1. PRE-SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT ERA (BEFORE THE 1880’S)
Educational institutions were informal and typically managed based on tradition, religious guidelines, or personal experience. Decisions often made by local leaders or heads, such as the “Maestro” in schools) who relied on intuition, authority and established norms. In school, a single teacher managed everything – teaching, discipline, and resource allocation without a structured curriculum or formalized rules. The curriculum, usually focused on basic literacy, arithmetic, and religious instruction, was decided by the Maestro and taught through rote memorization. Discipline was strict and subjective, often involving punishments like scolding or corporal punishment.
2. CLASSICAL MANAGEMENT ERA (1880-1930)
This era was marked by the introduction of more formalized methods to improve efficiency, productivity, and organization within educational institutions, drawing from the principles of Scientific Management, Administrative Management, and Bureaucratic Management. a. Scientific Management - Schools adopted standardized teaching methods, routines, and schedules to maximize efficiency and productivity, with a focus on measurable results like test scores. b. Administrative Management - School leaders, like principals, used planning, organizing, and controlling to manage school operations better. Clear roles and responsibilities were established for teachers and staff. c. Bureaucratic Management - Schools introduced formal rules, policies, and a clear hierarchy to ensure order and consistency. There were specific guidelines for curriculum delivery, discipline, and teacher evaluations.
3. NEO-CLASSICAL MANAGEMENT ERA (1930S- 1950S)
Emerging in response to the limitations of classical theories, neo-classical theories focused more on the needs and well-being of students and teachers. Key changes included: a. Human Relations – emphasis on improving relationships between teachers and students and creating a supportive environment. b. Increased Flexibility – Adoption of a more flexible curriculum and teaching methods to cater the diverse student interests and needs. c. Participative Management – Involvement of teachers, parents, and the community in decision-making, with the formation of parent-teacher association (PTAs) and advisory committees. d. Emphasis on Motivation and Satisfaction – Programs and initiatives were introduced to enhance student engagement and motivation (student leadership); Professionals development programs were expanded to help teachers improve their skills and job satisfaction.
4. MODERN MANAGEMENT ERA (1950s – Present)
Integrates the earlier approaches while adding flexibility, adaptability, and responsiveness to a rapidly changing environment. It incorporates various theories and models, including: a. System Theory – Schools are seen as systems where changes in one part affect the whole system. For example, improving teacher training can enhance overall student performance. b. Contingency Theory – emphasizes adaptability and situational analysis; schools adapt their management practices based on specific needs and circumstances. c. Quantitative and Decision-Making Approaches – Schools use data and analytical methods to guide decisions and improve performance d. Total Quality Management (TQM) - Focuses on continuous improvement and ensuring high standards in all aspects of school operations. e. Lean Management - Aims to streamline processes and reduce waste to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
