ABSTRACT

— This study determined the significant relationship between the Instructional Leadership Style of school administrators and level of satisfaction of Junior and Senior High School teachers of Pastor Salazar National High School in the Schools Division of Leyte. A proposed Instructional Supervisory plan was formulated based on the result of the study. A COT, alongside their corresponding computed t-values, table values at the 0.05 significance level, and decisions regarding the null hypothesis (Ho). The research design for the study on “Instructional Leadership Styles of School Administrators and the Level of Satisfaction of Junior High Teachers” utilized a descriptive-correlational approach. This design was particularly effective for examining the relationship between two variables: the instructional leadership styles employed by school administrators and the job satisfaction levels of junior high teachers. The descriptive component provided a detailed account of the various leadership styles present within the school environment, using surveys and observational methods to capture how these styles manifested in practice. By gathering demographic data on the teachers and contextual factors from the schools, the study aimed to establish a comprehensive understanding of the instructional leadership landscape. The results in Table 4 implied that school heads who exhibit strong leadership styles contribute to higher teacher satisfaction, which, in turn, positively affects classroom performance as assessed by the COT. The significant relationships between leadership style, teacher satisfaction, and classroom performance suggest that effective leadership plays a crucial role in creating a positive school environment that encourages teacher motivation and enhances teaching quality. The fact that teacher satisfaction is highly correlated with classroom performance underscores the importance of addressing teachers’ needs and fostering job satisfaction as a means to improve educational outcomes. School heads should be mindful of their leadership practices and consider investing in professional development opportunities that focus on leadership skills, teacher engagement, and satisfaction.
