The article examines the issues of administrative culture, its relevance and formation of the foundations of this culture in future heads of educational institutions. Changes in the life of society reveal many problems. Most of them are connected with the search for mechanisms that increase the effectiveness of social processes regulation, including their management. In conditions of change, there is a great need for a leader capable of implementing such management, which is aimed at harmonizing personal values and meanings, rights and duties of team members, and harmonizing relations among the participants in the process. The notion of "management culture" is opened and a literary review on the work of Russian and foreign teachers is made. According to the authors, management activities require specific personal qualities, since management is always connected with people and can be directed both to oneself and to another person or group of people. As a research task, the authors defined an attempt to assess the problem of forming a management culture among undergraduates as future heads of educational institutions. Described work experience aimed at developing their reflective sphere as the basis of administrative culture. Authorship and approbated questionnaires were used during the research. Diagnostic materials are presented, as well as a special questionnaire related to determining the level of formation of the foundations of a management culture among undergraduates of pedagogical areas of training. The dynamics of work with undergraduates is traced and a comment is given, taking into account the peculiarities of the direction of master's training.
