This study had a threefold thrust: to analyze the conflict-handling styles of the private secondary school principals in Batangas, to predict the choice of these styles in the light of certain variables, and to find the possible relationship between the administrators' choice of conflict-handling styles and selected teacher-related variables. Specifically, the study attempted to answer the following questions: 1. What is the profile of the respondent principals in terms of: 1.1 age 1.2 sex 1.3 status (religious or lay) 1.4 educational attainment 1.5 administrative experience as principal 1.6 type of school (sectarian or non-sectarian). 2. What are the conflict-handling styles of the private secondary school principals? 3. What is the profile of the teacher respondents in terms of their: 3.1 level of morale and, 3.2 level of job satisfaction? 4. Is there a significant relationship between the principals' choice of conflict-handling styles and the following variables: 4.1 principal-related variables: 4.1.1 age 4.2 sex 4.1.3 status (religious or lay) 4.1.4 educational background 4.1.5 years of administrative experience as principal, and the 2 School-related variables 4.2.1 Type of school (sectarian/non-sectarian) 4.3 Teacher-related variables: 4.3.1 Level of morale and 4.3.2 Level of job satisfaction? 5. Which of the aforementioned variables can predict the principals' choice of conflict-handling styles? 6. What regression equations can predict teachers' level of morale and job satisfaction given the administrators' conflict-handling styles? The descriptive-correlational method of research was used in this study. As a descriptive study, it presented the conflict-handling styles of principals and the levels of morale and job satisfaction of their teachers.
