Leadership Behavior and Teachers’ Satisfaction towards School Leadership
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
The study focused on the relationship between school leadership and teacher outcomes, particularly regarding teachers' perceptions of leadership behavior and its impact on their well-being and satisfaction. Anchored in the Transformational Leadership Theory, the research aims to explore how teachers' perception of leadership behavior influences their satisfaction towards school leadership. The study, conducted in a public elementary school in Cagayan de Oro City, involved 85 teachers and utilized the Leader Behavior Scale (LBS) and Teachers' Satisfaction on School Leadership Scale (TSSS) for data collection. The results revealed strengths in certain leadership behaviors of the school head but also identified areas for improvement, such as Performance Orientor, Potential Extractor, and Socially Intelligent aspects of leadership. Despite this, participants expressed high levels of satisfaction with various aspects of school leadership, highlighting the positive impact of effective leadership practices. The study found a positive relationship between perceived leadership behavior and teachers' satisfaction towards school leadership (r=0.305, p=0.004), emphasizing the importance of aligning leadership behaviors with Transformational Leadership principles. Recommendations include implementing specialized leadership training programs, coaching, mentoring initiatives, and structured feedback mechanisms to enhance the overall effectiveness of the school head's leadership style and create a positive organizational climate within the school community. This research contributes to a better understanding of school leadership dynamics and provides insights for improving organizational dynamics and fostering a positive work environment in educational institutions.
