Impact of democratic management in the context of private institutions in angola

Abstract

This scientific research article addresses the impact of democratic management in the context of private institutions. The limited inclusion of teachers in the management of private institutions remains a reality, as decisions are often made without their participation. This hinders the achievement of organizational goals. Although teachers attend certain meetings, they are mostly limited to listening, and when they do contribute, their input is not considered in practice. The research aims to analyze the impact of democratic management within private institutions in Angola. The study is both quantitative and qualitative, combining the two approaches in a complementary way. Surveys were conducted to gather statistical data, and interviews were used to diagnose the current situation of the study’s subject. The research was carried out using bibliographic review, interviews, and the deductive- inductive method. The sample consisted of ten participants from the Atlântida Polytechnic Higher Institute, who responded to a questionnaire that provided insights into the analysis of democratic management’s impact in private institutions in Angola. The study theoretically supported the relevance of democratic management in the school context; it assessed the level of teacher satisfaction regarding the school manager’s practices; and it identified the main factors underlying the challenges in school management. Therefore, it was confirmed that if school leaders ensured democratic management in their practices, it would positively influence the development of private institutions in Angola.
