Elementary School Head’s Leadership Styles Influencing Teachers’ Job Satisfaction in Selected Public Schools in Paranaque

Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 07

Abstract

Effective school leadership is a critical factor in the success of educational institutions. School heads play a pivotal role in shaping the school's culture and influencing the job satisfaction of teachers. The leadership style adopted by a school head can have a significant impact on the overall work environment, which, in turn, affects the job satisfaction of teachers. In the field of education, leadership styles can vary widely. Some heads adopt an autocratic approach, where they make decisions unilaterally, while others prefer a democratic style, involving teachers in the decision-making process. Transformational leaders inspire and motivate their staff, while transactional leaders use rewards and punishments to achieve compliance. Laissez-faire leaders give teachers considerable autonomy. Each of these leadership styles can impact teachers' job satisfaction differently. Autocratic Leadership: Heads with this style often impose decisions without consulting teachers. This can lead to frustration among educators, diminishing their job satisfaction as they feel disempowered and undervalued.
