In contemporary educational administration, the people-centered philosophy is gaining increasing prominence. Educational management not only involves the implementation of systems and regulations but also requires attention to the emotional needs and humanistic care of both teachers and students. As society evolves, striking a balance between institutional constraints and humanistic care has become a significant research topic in educational administration. Through literature analysis and case studies, this paper explores the equilibrium between humanistic care and institutional constraints. Findings indicate that appropriate humanistic care enhances the effectiveness of educational administration and boosts satisfaction among both teachers and students, whereas overly rigid systems may stifle innovation and flexibility. Therefore, rationally balancing humanistic care with institutional constraints not only promotes educational quality but also fosters a harmonious educational environment.
