The purpose of the study is to make a comparison between teaching the theory of LMX with or without counseling services to managers and its effect on their professional attitudes in education organization. The research methodology was quasi experimental. There were two experimental groups randomly assigned. The pretest was administered to both groups. Then, LMX theory was taught to them, and one of the groups was also given some counseling services about the importance of counseling, organizational counseling, and the way to effectively communicate with tha staff. The population consisted of all managers of education organization in the school year of 88-89 in the city of Khoi. The sample consisted of 70 subjects who were assigned to two groups using multistep random sampling method. The tools were the questionnaires of personal satisfaction (Martin and Ganon), job satisfaction (Smith, Candle, and Huolin), and organizational commitment (Moudai et. al). The results showed that teaching the theory of LMX with counseling services increases personal and job satisfaction of the managers. It also increases the managers' organizational commitment. Furthermore, the effect of teaching the theory is different on male and female managers when their personal and job satisfaction as well as their organizational commitment are taken into consideration. The effect of teaching the theory with counseling services is different when the managers' experiences are taken into consideration.
