Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun
This study explores the problems and implementation of the managerial decisionmaking process among Chinese Primary School teachers with the assignment as coordinator in Petaling Perdana, Selangor. Purposive sampling was used in which the participants comprised four teachers with the assignment as coordinator of a school basketball team. Data were collected using the methods of observation, documentation and interviews. Creswell’s qualitative research was used as the research data analysis method. The findings of this study show three main problems a teacher has to handle while fulfilling the responsibility of a coordinator; as such issues affect the core business. Implementing managerial decision-making among teachers has shown positive impacts towards balancing the core business as a teacher and the coordinator's responsibility. The connection between Decision-Making Approaches and Personal Decision Styles among teachers contributed to developing alternative solutions to resolve the encountered problems. To sum up, the connection between the different Decision-Making Approaches and Personal Decision Styles influenced the different implementation of managerial decision-making among teachers to find a balance between the core business of a teacher and the responsibility of a coordinator effectively. However, a further investigation should be conducted on more teachers at other medium primary schools. This study would become more reliable relating to the effect of assignment as a coordinator and managing the balance between the core business of teachers at primary school.
