LEADERSHIP Style and Organizational Citizenship Behavior as Predictors of School Efficiency of Public Elementary Schools in President Quirino, Sultan KUDARAT

Abstract

This research explored the influence of leadership styles of school heads and organizational citizenship behavior of teachers on school efficiency in public elementary schools. A quantitative design was employed using a structured questionnaire given to public elementary school teachers who were selected via a simple random probability sampling technique. Statistical tools employed were mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. The result indicated a high level of leadership style among school administrators, particularly in democratic, delegating, and situational leadership, and a very high level of organizational citizenship behavior among teachers. The school efficiency was also rated high, with a very high overall performance in academic achievement. Leadership style and school effectiveness were also found to have an association, and with a higher correlation between organizational citizenship behavior and school effectiveness. Additionally, the research uncovered that leadership style and organizational citizenship behavior both had a significant influence on school effectiveness, with organizational citizenship behavior being a better predictor of school effectiveness. The research offered evidence that can be used to inform practice and policy to improve school effectiveness through effective leadership and teacher participation.
