ABSTRACT

— This study dealt with the extent of human relations management practices of school administrators involving stakeholders’ engagement in education for the S.Y. 2022-2023. A total of one hundred sixty (160) school administrators, two hundred sixty-seven (267) members of the PTA, two hundred 88 (288) members of the faculty club, and two hundred eighty-two (282) alumni of the six (6) Divisions of Pangasinan comprised the respondents of this study. Data was collected using a questionnaire checklist designed by the researcher and then validated by field experts. The results showed that secondary school administrators have a pervasive approach to managing human relations and engaging stakeholders in education, with a weighted mean of 4.73 percent; the rating is “Very Extensive.” The engagement of stakeholders among secondary school administrators is significantly dependent on their sex, years of experience as administrators, and the amount of relevant training they have received in the region. This variation in human relations management is unacceptable and requires immediate attention. All administrators must receive proper training and implement effective strategies to ensure equal engagement of all stakeholders. We do not tolerate any discrimination or neglect. In addition, the sex of the individual and the amount of regional and national training they have received has been shown to significantly impact the level of effective human relations management when it comes to engaging stakeholders among secondary school administrators. The four dimensions of human relations management were rated, and the dimension of empowerment and control received the lowest score. Based on our analysis, it is imperative to prioritize enhancing stakeholders’ sense of empowerment and control. The public secondary school administrators are encouraged to benchmark good practices of some regional schools to further improve their capabilities in engaging stakeholders to achieve organizational goals.
