Ensuring a productive and happy work environment in educational institutions requires effective management of employee discipline and conflict resolution. This study fills in the knowledge gap about how Zamboanga Sibugay school administrators handle conflicts and use disciplinary measures. It aims to provide insights into better administrative tactics by assessing the efficacy of these practices and their effects on the workplace. This study uses a mixed-methods approach to evaluate how school administrators handle disciplinary measures and resolve conflicts. Structured questionnaires were utilized to gather quantitative data, and interviews with school officials yielded qualitative insights. The data was analyzed using statistical methods such as t-tests and z-tests, which revealed significant differences and correlations in the use of these practices. Results of the study showed that formal written warnings, formal disciplinary sessions, and verbal warnings are routinely used by school administration as forms of discipline, and the most common disciplinary action is suspension or loss of privileges, whereas termination is the least common. Furthermore, the most often used conflict resolution strategies include compromise, problem-solving teamwork, and compromise. Lastly, there were minimal relationships between the two sets of data, but significant variations were observed in the implementation of disciplinary actions and dispute-resolution strategies. The study concludes that although Zamboanga Sibugay school administrators generally follow established disciplinary procedures and conflict resolution strategies, there are variances in how they implement them. The most common disciplinary measure is suspension or loss of privileges, while the most common method of resolving conflicts is compromise. The results emphasize the necessity of a more coordinated strategy to improve company culture and successfully resolve conflicts. The study thus recommends modifications to improve organizational culture and offers insights into the effectiveness of present methods.
