AB  - Studies on knowledge, attitudes and practices are important to help the organizations assess their current situation and improve future operations. This study was conducted to determine the level of management practices adopted by the BIDANI-Assisted Nutripak Producers Associations in selected municipalities in Leyte and Southern Leyte as influenced by the members’ management knowledge and attitude. Primary data on the respondents’ socio-demographic characteristics, management knowledge, attitudes and practices were gathered through personal interviews with 67 respondents from the four associations using a self-made questionnaire. Data on the associations’ profile were gathered from the documents available in the associations’ files, and through key informant interviews with association officers. Data were analyzed using descriptive (totals, means and percentages), while relationships among variables were determined using the Chi-Square Test and Spearman’s rank order correlation. Results showed that the respondent’s level of management knowledge and practice ranged from moderate to high, while their attitude ranged from positive to very positive. Analysis of the relationships among variables showed that the respondents’ association had a highly significant relationship with knowledge (χ2 = 19.830; p = 0.003) and practice (χ2=19.112; p = 0.004), age had a significant and positive relationship with knowledge (r=0.254; p < 0.01), while number of children had a highly significant but negative relationship with knowledge (r = 0.363; p < 0.01). On the other hand, knowledge had a significant but negative correlation with practice (r= -0.310; p<0.05), while attitude had a highly significant positive relationship with practice (r = 0.477, p<0.01).
