STUDY GUIDE NO. 2: MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES


Management by Objectives (MBO)

- is a strategic approach to enhance the performance of an organization. It is a process where the


goals of the organization are defined and conveyed by the management to the members of the
organization with the intention to achieve each objective.
- An important step in the MBO approach is the monitoring and evaluation of the performance
and progress of each member against the established objectives. Ideally, if the member
themselves are involved in setting goals and deciding their course of action, they are more likely
to fulfill their obligations.

MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES

- Basically, management by objectives refers to job performance and achievement guided by


desired results. This concept can be applied in two types of performance.

1. UNIT PERFORMANCE – management by objectives many be used to set guides and evaluate
results for groups, units, departments, divisions, or whole school or companies.

2. INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE – management by objectives may be applied or used as a tool for


motivation and measuring individual performance.

Management by objectives as method can be summed up in three steps:


1. Superior and subordinate(s) work out realistic performance objectives. They agree on the means for
achieving specified results.

2. Compare actual results to expected results at the end of the agreed-on period.

3. Specify measurable action by specific time limits for implementation depending on the results
achieved.

Management by objectives as applied in educational management is simply illustrated, thus:

- The principal teacher or head teacher in a school sits down with the teachers and agree on
statement of accountabilities upon which every teacher draws out realistic performance
objectives and the means he chooses to accomplish them.
- An “accountability” is a result that is expected for the satisfactory performance of the job. At the
end of the semester or school year, the actual results are compared to the expected results or
performance objectives. The teacher commits himself to specific time limits. He has to do this
because he obviously takes the risk that he may fail and his superior, the principal or head
teacher, will know he has failed.
