The purpose of this study was to document the Stewardship Model of Management as espoused by the Brigham Young University College of Education and to investigate the extent to which it was felt to be implemented without prior instruction by supervisory levels of management in selected areas of the Department of Seminaries and Institutes of Religion in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Educational System during the 1979-80 academic year. Ample documentation of the Stewardship Model of Management was found in the scriptures of the LDS Church as well as in the writings of ecclesiastical and educational leaders. Through the use of an analysis of variance and a Newman-Keuls test of significance, responses to a Stewardship Evaluation Survey showed significant differences in the perceptions of supervisor attitude and behavior between supervisors and selected teachers of the LDS Church Educational System concerning certain areas of the Stewardship Model of Management.
