Leadership Style and Supervisory Behavior of Public Elementary School Administrators
Rica Vanessa Latergo
Discipline: Education
Abstract:
Every school is led by school administrators who are well-prepared, competent, and made accountable for supervising
and leading an institutionalized school improvement process at the school level as mandated in the Republic Act No.
9155, Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001. By maximizing the skills and competencies of school
administrators to improve educational efficiency, in particular, the standard of teaching and learning through
instructional supervision, these skills can be enhanced to build efficient human resources that can make a difference
in the educational system. This research investigation used the descriptive-comparative and correlational research
design. The study's respondents were the 93 school administrators randomly selected using the stratified sample size.
The standardized survey questionnaires were adapted namely the Leadership Style and Supervisory Behavior
instrument. The mean, standard deviation, Shapiro-Wilk Test, T-test, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal Wallis, and SpearmanRho facilitated the statistical derivation. This study investigates public elementary school administrators' Leadership
Style (LS) and Supervisory Behavior (SB). Furthermore, it aimed to determine the degree of LS and SB among
administrators, explore differences in these constructs across demographic variables, and examine the relationship
between LS and SB. Findings reveal that three leadership styles were highly exhibited, suggesting a versatile approach
to leadership within the schools. When these styles were examined according to age, sex, civil status, academic
qualifications, and administrative categories, no substantial variations were observed, indicating that these
demographic and professional factors do not significantly influence the preferred leadership style among
administrators. Moreover, supervisory behaviors, encompassing decision-making, planning and organizing,
promoting optimal performance, and professional knowledge/expertise, were generally rated as high among
administrators. This high level of supervisory behavior was consistent across different demographic and professional
groupings, irrespective of their age, sex, civil status, or academic qualifications. Furthermore, the investigation into
the relationship between leadership styles and supervisory behaviors showed no significant correlation. This indicates
that the type of leadership style an administrator adopts does not predict or affect the extent of their supervisory
behavior, suggesting that these two aspects of school administration may operate independently of each other.
Recommendations include the implementation of a structured Enhancement Plan comprising workshops, training
sessions, and reflective practices aimed at fostering competent leadership and supervision among school
administrators. This study contributes to the literature by providing insights into the management attributes of school
administrators in promoting smooth and harmonious relationships in the educational field.
