Abstract
This study determined the leadership styles of public school heads and their relationship to organizational development in Bolo Elementary School and Bolo National High School during the School Year 2024–2025. Specifically, the study identified the leadership styles of school heads in terms of authoritarian, participative, and delegative leadership styles and examined the organizational development of the schools in terms of team building, management practices, and training. Furthermore, the study determined whether a significant relationship existed between leadership styles and organizational development.
The study utilized the descriptive-correlational research design. The respondents of the study were teachers from Bolo Elementary School and Bolo National High School. A researcher-made questionnaire served as the primary data gathering instrument. Data gathered were analyzed using frequency count, percentage, weighted mean, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (Pearson r).
The findings revealed that public school heads demonstrated different leadership styles in managing their schools. Participative and delegative leadership styles were commonly observed by teachers, as school heads encouraged collaboration, communication, and shared responsibilities within the school organization. The organizational development of the schools was evident in terms of team building, management practices, and training. Teachers perceived that school heads effectively promoted cooperation, proper management practices, and professional development activities.
Moreover, the findings showed that there was a significant relationship between the leadership styles of public school heads and organizational development. Effective leadership practices contributed to improved teamwork, stronger organizational relationships, and continuous professional growth among teachers. The study concluded that leadership styles significantly influence organizational development and the overall effectiveness of schools.
