Abstract

The study analyzed the relationship between managerial competencies and administrative management from the perception of teachers in “La Inmaculada” School of Ambato, during the 2025 school year. A quantitative approach, deductive method and descriptive-explanatory cross-sectional design were used to evaluate these variables at a specific time. An online survey was applied to 36 teachers, with 9 items for managerial competencies and 8 for administrative management, measured at low, medium and high levels. The Shapiro-Wilk test indicated that the data were not normal, so Spearman´s Rho correlation was used. The results show that, according to the teachers, both variables reach an advanced level, with a very high correlation. This links effectiveness in managerial competencies with effective administrative management. In conclusion, in this institution, both aspects are solid and interrelated, promoting organizational and academic development. These findings guide the strengthening of institutional leadership and management.
