ABSTRACT
HILADO, ANNA SHEIL F., Department
of Economics, College of Arts and Sciences, Sultan Kudarat State University,
City of Tacurong, Sultan Kudarat. November 2012 “MANAGERIAL STRATEGIES AND ECONOMIC STATUS OF RICE MILLS IN SULTAN
KUDARAT “.
Adviser: MARY JANE B.
LANDIG
The study was conducted
to determine the profile of managers/owners engaged in Rice Mill business in
terms of; age, gender, civil status, and number of years in operation. The
study also determined the extent of managerial strategies in terms of:
planning, organizing, directing, controlling, and decision-making. It also evaluated
the economic status of the Rice Mills as to its; location, number of employees,
capital, operating expenses, and annual net income. This was also conducted to
determine the significant relationship on managerial strategy and economic
status of Rice mills and to determine the significant difference on perception
between the managers and employees in terms of managerial strategies of
managers/owners.
The researcher used a survey
questionnaire and administered to the 20 managers and 20 employees of selected
Rice mills in the Sultan Kudarat.
Frequency and percentage
distribution was used to measure the profile of the managers and employees.
Mean rating was used to measure the level of managerial strategies of the
managers. Frequency and percentage was also utilized to measure the economic
status of the different Rice Mills in Sultan Kudarat. Correlation analysis was
used
to determine the significant relationship between managerial strategies and economic
status of rice mills in the Sultan Kudarat and t-test was employed to determine
the significant difference on the perception between the managers and employees
in terms of managerial strategies imposed by the managers/owners of different
Rice mills in Sultan Kudarat.
Based on the result of this study,
majority of the managers and employees are between 46-55 and 25-35 years old respectively. Most are male
managers while majority are female employees; mostly are married managers and
employees and has the rice and milling business for 16-20 and 1-5 years
respectively.
Level of managerial strategies in
terms of planning got the section mean of 4.06 as to managers’ perception and
3.74 as to the perception of employees interpreted as “highly effective”.
Organizing obtained the section mean of 3.78 and 3.85 as to managers and
employees perception, which interpreted as “highly effective”. The section
means received by directing strategy are 4.31 and 4.07 which interpretatively
means “extremely effective” and “highly effective”, respectively. In terms of
controlling strategy, the rating are interpreted as “highly effective” with the
section mean of 3.85 and 3.69. The decision-making obtained the section mean of
4.06 as to managers’ perception while 3.89 as to employees’ perception and
interpreted as “highly effective” respectively.
In terms of location,
the buildings of rice milling business mostly situated at the center of
farmers’ farm enterprise. The said business doesn’t require too large number of
employees to hire. In terms of capital, majority of the Rice mill owners
invested a capital of ₱20,000,001 to 30,000,000. In terms of operational
expenses, the said business expenses an average amount to ₱3,000,001 to
4,000,000 yearly. The average annual net income of the Rice mills is between
₱4,000,001-5,000,000.
There is no sufficient evidence to
claim that the managerial strategies affect economic status of the Rice mills.
In owning a business, there are many other factors that contribute to the
status of the business.
The managers have “highly effective”
managerial strategies.
It is therefore, recommended that
those statements rated as “oftentimes” must be improved to be more extremely
effective in every organizational undertakings.
