    Problems of State Universities and Colleges’ Middle Level Managers: A


    Basis for the Development of a Management Intervention Program
    (Muello, 2002)

    Since time immemorial, conflict has been a natural part of human existence. It exists on many levels and
    takes many different forms. It is an inevitable part of organizational life.

    Although conflict is natural and unavoidable, it is important that administrators learn to manage conflict
    effectively and turn it toward a constructive end. When properly handled, it does not disrupt the normal
    operation of the organization. At its intense level, however, conflicts may lead to more radical measures
    of reform like strikes, mass leave of absence, and even unwanted unionism. Therefore, managers need to
    understand the nature and cause of conflict. Managers need to analyze what the conflict is, where it comes
    from, and how it develops and dissipates.

    Managers must understand that conflict is an almost constant and continuous process (Himoc, 1989). By
    sound planning and action management, leaders can constantly direct the energies of conflict into
    productive and creative channels of related endeavors. These perspectives on conflict give the manager
    additional roles like that of a referee and a counselor who help the protagonist reach an acceptable
    solution. They act as motivators who direct human energies towards organizational goals. Ultimately, this
    educational experience of resolving conflict could provide the managers deeper insights into, and a
    greater understanding of the goals of the organization, vis-à-vis the interests and needs of their
    subordinates. The feedback on conflicts may serve as clues in potential problem analysis, and enhance the
    development of measures to minimize conflict and maximize smooth interpersonal relationship.

    Today’s educational leaders are faced with more changes, more conflicts, and more pressures than in any
    other decades in the 20th century (Gmelch, 1981). This is largely due to the substantial increases in their
    responsibilities. Many factors have also contributed to the broader code and expanded amount of works
    that leaders need to fulfill. Among such factors are the tremendous increases in the school population and
    additional job requirements necessitated by many educational innovations. Not only are they expected to
    continue their traditional duties such as planning and overall school organization, but they are also asked
    to give personal leadership and inspiration. Leaders are expected to actively engage in establishing
    educational programs and in developing good teachers’ morale. Thus, it has become exceedingly
    important that school administrators and teachers understand and are prepared to meet the many
    responsibilities inherent to their position. Thus, time management becomes exceedingly important for
    managers to efficiently attend to their duties and avoid conflicts (Muello, 2002).

    The researcher, being a manager, will surely be personally benefitted from the results of this study which
    generally aims to analyze the common problems encountered by middle level managers in state
    universities and colleges in Region IV which in turn will be utilized as the basis for proposing a
    management intervention program.
