Leadership Styles of Head Teachers in Selected Districts in the Division of Samar: Its Influence on Teachers Performance
Keywords:
Leadership Style, Head Teachers, Division of Samar, Teachers, PerformanceAbstract
The main purpose of this study was to determine the leadership style of head teachers in selected districts in the Division of Samar. The normative-descriptive method of research was used in this study using the questionnaire-checklist as the main instrument in gathering the data. This study was conducted during the school year 1998-1999. The monotheistic leadership style practiced by the head teachers and the performance of the teachers were significantly correlated with one another. This was proven by the computed rs which denoted an inverse moderate correlationship. The three categories of respondents have different perceptions and views relative to the extent of influence of the leadership styles practiced by the head teachers on the performance of the teachers. This can be attributed to the independence of their individual assessment regarding the above mentioned subject. The gravity of the practice of the nomothetic leadership style from the minimum to the full extent moderately affects the productivity of the teachers in an inverse manner. This can be attributed to the quest of the teachers to be treated fairly and justified by their superiors. The strong commitment to public service of the teachers and their awareness of their primordial duty stabilized their “very satisfactory” and commendable performance such that they can never be affected by the idiographic and transactional leadership styles practiced by their respective head teachers.
