Abstract

An advanced research was done for purpose of examining the relationship between value-oriented attitudes-based on Alport and Lindzy model and Decision making styles based on Scott & Bruce model for taking decision. About 100 administrators were selected as a statistical sample, among statistical population of administrators of physical education organization. Two questionnaires were used: 1) Alport and Lindzy’s Standard Questionnaire to study administrators’ value-oriented attitudes and 2) Scott and Bruce Questionnaire to study administrators’ decision-making styles. Research data were analyzed with SPSS, by using Pierson –product correlation coefficient, t-test for independent groups and analysis of Freedman’s variance component. The research findings show that there are relationships between administrators’ value orientation and design making in university and this relations haven’t different between men and women, but hierarchy of value system is different, as economic and political values of men are more than women. Religious and aesthetic values are the most and the least one sequence. Finally applied suggestions are presented.
