Abstract: Educational institutions are established at primary, secondary and tertiary levels in Nigeria, purposely to pursue and ensure the achievement of national objectives. Heads of these institutions are expected to perform management functions such as planning, controlling, organizing, staffing, leading, co-coordinating and directing all available resources towards actualization of the objectives. In carrying out these duties, a manager could adopt either a democratic or an autocratic style of administration. This paper posits that the quality and quantity of resources in an institution, the subordinates’ personal characteristics and the influence of different groups within the institution, are factors which could determine his choice of administrative styles. It is suggested that the manager should evolve effective motivational, communication, decision-making and human relation strategies in order to ensure the achievement of organizational objectives.
