This document contains 3 scenarios analyzing workplace situations and behaviors: 1) A district supervisor gathered teachers on Sundays for mahjong, saying they need recreation like others. This shows the supervisor values seeing teachers as humans needing balance, not just workers. 2) A school administrator said leaders don't need good qualities, just to appear that way, and keep distance from employees. This would hurt employee morale by creating an untrustworthy, inauthentic leader. 3) A teacher ingratiated herself to the principal with gifts and favors, and the principal rewarded her with preferential treatment. This displays a cultural pattern of gaining advantages through personal connections rather than merit.

1. Case Analysis: Read the following cases and analyze based on the
given guide questions.
Activity 1: Scenario:
A district supervisor used to get some of his teachers together to play mahjong on Sunday
afternoons or evenings.When askedby another district supervisor why he did this, he said that
these teachers like other human beings need recreation.
How do you explain the outward motivations of the supervisor from the point of view of
value system?
Activity 2: Scenario:
Mr. Santos was a school administrator. One day he was talking to the meeting about
management. He said, among other things:
“One does not have to have good qualities as a leader but he has to appear to have them.
Maintain a social distance from employees, so they can judge you from a distance rather than
from a close range.”
What is the effect of this behavior towards leadership upon employee morale?

brought flowers with which she decorates the “boss’s”table and often sent some crabs and
prawns to her house when she had plenty .
