  The purpose of this study was to find the dysfunctional elements effecting negatively in supervisory organization levels: Ministry of Education, School Board of Education, school, and classroom.   The related literature was reviewed and an open question form was used to collect data. Respondents, who were 240 vice-principals of elementary and secondary schools from nation-wide samples, described one of the most serious problems as perceived in present situation in each supervisory organization level: Ministry of Education, School Board of Education, school, and classroom.   Findings were as follows:   (1) Supervisory functions were found differently in supervisory organization level: ministry, school board, school, and classroom.   (2) The dysfunctional elements in supervision were found in bureaucratic characteristics, organizational politics, informal structures, and professional bureaucratic conflict in educational organizations.   (3) The problems in supervisory behavior were found in each supervisory organization level; ministry, school board, school and classroom. Selected problems frequently found in each supervisory organization level were ① frequent change of the supervisory quidelines in the ministry level, ② strong emphasis of line function in the school board level, ③ negligence of professional development for teachers, and ④ insufficient situation for clinical supervision.   In conclusion, it was recognized that dysfunctional elements were identified in bureaucratic structures, organizational politics, informal structures, and professional-bureaucratic conflict in educational organizations, and associated with the negative effect to supervisory behavior.   There are some problems which should be solved to improve the supervirory function and behavior in each supervisory organization level. It is not easy to improve the present problem situations, but the long and short range programs should be planned and included in pre- service and in-service education programs for supervisory personnel in all levels.
