  The purpose was to determine and analyze the management leadership behaviors of selected commercial and thrift banks in Silang, Cavite, and find out their dependency with the related leadership outcome based on the theoretical framework of the study. To achieve this, the Blake and Mouton’s managerial grid theory was used. Data were collected from the commercial and thrift banks in Silang municipality on November 2006. Out of the total of 46 questionnaires distributed, 44 (95.7%) were completed and returned. The demographic profile indicated that respondents of the study were mostly female with an age bracket of 21 to 40 who were married and bachelor’s degree holders. About 91% of them were regular employees who have been working for the banks for a period of more than 11 years. The major findings of the study were as follows: The leadership behavior identified in all commercial and thrift banks in Silang to be Team Management according to Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid Theory. There were also no significant differences in the perception of the banks support staff on concern for task and people when they were grouped by demographic variables such as: gender, age, marital status, highest level of education, employment status, and length of service. When compared to that of management, there were also no significant differences in the perceived leadership behavior between management and support staff of commercial and thrift banks for concern for task, except for the following: performing task efficiently and pinpointing weaknesses, and for concern for people: honoring other’s feeling and accommodating ideas. There were significant correlations between leadership behavior and outcome for concern for task except that goal accomplishment, employees development (training and seminars), and weaknesses pinpointing did not seem to correlate with efficient time management as an outcome. In concern for people, people coaching, team work building and honoring other’s feeling did not seem to correlate with better performance as an outcome of counseling. Some of the recommendations were to continue to sustain effective Team Management, continue making good managerial decisions, work out the bank’s long-term plan with employee’s participation, establish more effective communication, provide comprehensive training, and to consider hiring a psychologist.

  The main purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence (EQ), study habits and attitudes, selected demographic variables (gender, birth order, parents' education, parents' income, parents' occupation, student classifications by enrollment and work status), and the academic performance of freshmen residential students in three Adventist tertiary institutions in the Philippines during the school year 2005-2006. The participants were 587 freshmen residential students. They answered the Emotional IntelligenceInventory-Short Version (EQi:S™), the Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA), and a survey of demographic information. Academic performance as measured by their GPA was obtained from the three respective colleges. There were significant differences in mean among EQ, SSHA and academic performance by demographic variables. Specifically, 1. Differences in EQ existed in relation to the following demographic variables: gender, birth order, parents' education, parents' income, father's occupation, student enrollment status, and student work status. 2. Differences in SSHA existed in relation to the following demographic variables: mother's education and parents' income. 3. Differences in academic performance existed in relation to the following demographic variables: gender and parents' income. The study showed significant correlations between all EQ and SSHA subscales. It also found significant correlations between three EQ subscales (adaptability. general mood, and total EQ) and academic performance. All subscales of SSHA were significantly correlated with academic performance. The best predictive model for academic performance explained 13% of the total variance. These predictors are the following: Education Acceptance (0 = .21) subscale of the SSHA; Adaptability (0 = .15) subscale of the EQ; and four demographic variables: gender (0 = -.15), governmentrelated father's occupation (0 = -.10), student classification Il-Work Status (0 = .13), and parents' income (0 = .09). Gender and government-related fathers' occupation were negative predictors for academic performance which implies that female students with non government-related father's occupation were predicted to have higher achievement than those with government-related father's occupation.
