This study determined the influence of empowering leadership and job satisfaction on work engagement of private senior high school teachers in selected private institutions in Davao City. A quantitative descriptive correlational design was utilized in this study. All full-time senior high school teachers from the selected private schools were chosen as respondents. The responses from the validated adapted research instruments on empowering leadership, job satisfaction, and work engagement were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The study revealed that the senior high school teachers from the selected private schools had very high levels of empowering leadership, job satisfaction, and work engagement. Further, there was a significant positive strong correlation between empowering leadership, job satisfaction, and work engagement of senior high school teachers. Additionally, empowering leadership and job satisfaction both had a significant influence on work engagement, with empowering leadership having a greater influence compared to job satisfaction.
