Turbulence refers to both internal and external changes within organizations, and demands from their environments.  Power involves the potential to influence others, both in what they do and how they feel about something.  This descriptive survey-correlation method of research aimed to determine whether the tolerance for managing in turbulent times of secondary school administrators of Leyte, Philippines were related to their personal power profile.  A set of data-gathering questionnaire, composed of two parts was utilized.  The results showed that the respondents have to work on improving their tolerance for managing in turbulent times and must have something likely to characterize in the world of work into the next century.  Expert Power is the dimension of power that is subscribed by them, which is considered to be their behavior in work organizations since as suggested by the results, the respondents prefer to influence others by employing this particular form of power.  Chi-square established that the non-significant relationships between the two variables imply that being ready to face turbulence and change, has nothing to do with their personal power profile or how they prefer to influence others.

Conflict is a reality in everyone’s life and it must be considered as a natural process that occurs daily. The study perceives that the conflict management styles of secondary school administrators are greatly dependent on the source of conflicts and identities of people in the educational environment. The process of exploring these perspectives will be a review of research and literature related to conflict managementin all facets of life especially in the school setting. The main objective of the study is to determine the conflict management styles of school administrators in the public secondary institutions in the province of Cagayan. The descriptive research design was used in the study. Research from a number of fields emphasized that several factors conspire to create environment where conflict is more likely to occur. However, this study views that if school administrator manifests a positive work value he or she is likely to perform better in the job as least occurrence of problems that could pave the way for collaborative efforts towards the attainment of organizationalgoals. Moreover, the data reveal that solution-oriented style of conflict management is perceived to be employed by more dynamic and democratic school administrators. In this context, future research should consider an investigation on the comparison of conflict management styles between private and public secondaryinstitutions to prove the existence of differences on styles in resolving conflicts when grouped according to school type.Keywords: Education, conflict, conflict management styles, solution-oriented style, descriptivedesign, Philippines

Principals Perceptions

Abstract Context: Secondary school administrators fulfill many leadership roles, including creating and implementing policies to help ensure the safety of athletic programs. However, limited research has examined principals' perceptions and awareness of the athletic trainer (AT) role. Objective: To explore secondary school principals' perceptions of athletic training and knowledge related to the roles and responsibilities of ATs. Design: Concurrent mixed methods. Setting: Cross-sectional online questionnaire. Patients or Other Participants: Principals (n=686) representing public secondary schools across the United States (age = 48.1±7.8 years, years in position = 7.1±5.8). Intervention(s): Web-based questionnaire composed of demographics, various quantitative items assessing knowledge and perceived value of ATs, and open-ended questions. Main Outcome Measure(s): Descriptive statistics summarize demographic data. Select quantitative measures are reported as count response and overall percentages. Responses to open-ended questions were analyzed inductively. Results: We obtained a 5% response rate (686/13,517). Approximately 93% (n=637) of responding principals considered an AT to be a trusted source of medical information. The most frequently selected skills they believed ATs were qualified to perform included ‘injury prevention' (99.1%), ‘first aid/wound care' (96.5%), and ‘therapeutic intervention' (91.4%). Sixty-three percent (n=430) of respondents considered an AT ‘extremely valuable' to student-athlete health and safety. Our results indicate secondary school principals have a vague understanding of AT “training” and appreciate the immediacy of care ATs can provide. They also appear to utilize decentralized hiring practices. Conclusions: Secondary school principals recognize the role ATs play in the immediate care of athletic-related injuries and identify ATs as a trusted source of medical information. However, principals have limited understanding of the qualifications and educational requirements of ATs. Future professional advocacy efforts, targeting this stakeholder group, should highlight all medical services an AT provides and emphasize the AT's value in schools that sponsor athletics programs.
