Abstract
The purpose of the research was to investigate the types of communication system used, the decision-making process also used and the relationship between communication systems used and their influence on effective decision-making process in the three military secondary schools in Oyo State. To this end, seven hypotheses were formulated and tested using an eighteen item structured questionnaire as an instrument for data gathering. The instrument was administered on 589 respondents randomly sampled from three groups (soldiers, civilian staff and senior students) in the three military schools. A Chi-square (X2) and correlation coefficient (r) statistical analysis of the responses show, among other things, that significant differences existed in the opinions of the three categories of respondents with regard to: the communication systems used; the hierarchy of information flow; decision-making process in terms of appointments and recruitment, admission of students and daily administration of the schools. There was significant relationship between communication systems used, and effective decision-making process. It was recommended, among other things, that modern system of communication as well as information storage and retrieval should be provided in the military secondary schools in Oyo State.
