Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 05
Abstract
School heads are agents of change who contribute a major impression on the educational setting through their competencies and leadership practices. The study examined the influence of competencies and leadership practices of school heads on school performance and used a descriptive-correlational design with stratified random sampling in surveying 140 respondents. T-test, Pearson R, and regression analysis were used for the statistical treatment of data. Findings revealed that the female category got the highest percentage in the profile. The level of competencies had an average description of “Very highly competent”, leadership practices had an average description of “Very highly practiced”, and school heads’ performance had an average description of “Very good performance”. Results also revealed that there was a significant difference in the competencies and leadership practices of the school heads when they are grouped according to their profile. There is also a significant relationship between the competencies and leadership practices and their performance. Competencies and leadership practices significantly influence the school heads’ performance. Moreover study found out that leadership practices in terms of establishing effective functional teams influenced the school heads’ performance. Competencies and leadership practices also significantly influence the school heads’ performance. Thus study proved that Competence Theory guided school heads especially in handling teachers and tasks for attaining excellent performance and also proved the Principles of Management which are basic activities like planning, organizing, and controlling operations related to materials and methods applied by the school heads in performing tasks. The recommendations are: School Administrators may use the results of the demographic profile as a basis for their planning in improving the performance of the institution. Teachers/Non-teaching personnel may continue to follow to collaborate with the school heads to improve the performance of the school heads for greater service to the stakeholders of the school.
