Abstract

The study assessed the sociocultural factors affecting leadership of the Local Universities and Colleges (LUCs) administrators in the Philippines. The descriptive-evaluative method of research was used. Data were gathered using a self-made Likert-type questionnaire from the 111 randomly administrators in the regions of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon (CALABARZON). The statistical tools applied were weighted mean and single factor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Findings revealed that the administrators have strong manifestation of the sociocultural factors such as values, customs and lifestyles. However, there was no significant difference on the manifestations of sociocultural factors when grouped as to provinces. There is a need to impose familial relationships with the members of the LUCs for a stronger and healthy working environment. This study leads to the determination of the patterns and trends of the sociocultural factors and leadership style practices of the LUCs administrators for any leadership development program.
