Abstract
AbstractThe study aimed to examine the influence of the leadership attitude of school heads on the conscientiousness of teachers. The researcher selected 190 elementary school teachers in New Corella, Davao del Norte, as respondents using a stratified random sampling technique. A non-experimental quantitative research design employing a descriptive-correlational method was utilized. Data were analyzed using Mean, Pearson Moment Product Correlation, and Regression Analysis. Findings revealed that the leadership attitude of school heads was described as extensive, while the conscientiousness of teachers was rated as moderately extensive. Further, correlation analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between the leadership attitude of school heads and the conscientiousness of teachers. Regression analysis showed that leadership attitudes in terms of visionary thinking and strategic planning significantly influence teacher conscientiousness. It is recommended that the Department of Education (DepEd) establish clear standards and expectations for school leadership that include promoting teacher conscientiousness as a key performance indicator. The study suggests further utilization of findings through publication in reputable research journals.Keywords: Educational management, leadership attitude of school heads, conscientiousness of teachers, regression analysis, Philippines
