This study assesses the organizational effectiveness of the Commission on Diocesan Schools of La Union in the context of the job functions of selected administrative personnel.This study employed the descriptive-analytical method of research to assess the Commission on Diocesan Schools of La Union on the actual and expected frequencies of performance of the six administrative positions as perceived by the respondents. The desired data were obtained through a prepared questionnaire that was administered to the sixty-six respondents composed of all principals and selected faculty members of the diocesan schools of La Union. Only fifty-six teachers were qualified to be among the chosen respondents based on a five-year period of service rendered to the diocesan schools. Majority of the teachers were new. A study was made in 1992 and another in 1998 with the same respondents to establish a comparison. Documentary analysis, means and summative presentations were utilized in the treatment of data.The study came out with the following findings:1) The organizational structure of the Commission on Diocesan Schools of La Union in 1992 was revised in 1996 hence, in the 1998 study, the Commission on Diocesan Schools had a new structure and clearer line and staff.2) The 1992 organizational structure is so simple and that it has offices which are not functional.3) There is no congruence between the actual and expected functions of the Commission on Diocesan Schools of La Union as perceived by the principals and selected teachers in both the 1992 and 1998 studies. As revealed by the survey results, it was concluded that the administrative offices of the Commission on Diocesan Schools of La Union need to review the manual of policies and upgrade their services in order to meet the expectations of the different diocesan schools under its domain. The central office must not only focus attention on academic supervision over and above financial supervision but it should strike a balance between academic supervision, upgrade the salaries and benefits of personnel, as well as work on physical plant development of the different schools. Moreover, as presented and defined by the organizational set-up, the central office needs to have functional offices in order to effectively carry out its role as the management umbrella of all the diocesan schools it serve.
