        Abstract   The existing theories indicate that management can be defined in terms of its functions, so there are different definitions based on various functions some of which are repeated in most definitions.  The present study which is a descriptive research was conducted to investigate the managerial functions in organization-, relation-, and situation-oriented styles of management. Statistical sample contained 375 members including 17 managers selected from17 districts of ministry of education in Tehran, as well as 322 employees in the same districts who have been working at least for 6 months in different regions of Tehran. Measurment instrument used in this study was a 24-item researcher-made questionnaire developed based on Likert scale. One- way ANOVA and post-experimental comparisons (Fisher ,Tokey, and Shefe) were used for data analysis. Ta analysis revealed that the application of planning is mostly observed in organization- oriented managers compared with relation-oriented ones. Also organization-oriented managers pay more attention to organizational functions compared with situation- and relation-oriented managers. Moreover, decision-making function is considered by organization-oriented managers more than other managers. And finally, the control function receives more attention by organization-oriented managers compared with others Manuscript profile
