School Leadership, Team Effectiveness, and School Culture: A Structural Equation Model on Job Performance among Public Elementary School Teachers

This study aimed to determine the best-fit model for the job performance of public elementary school teachers in Region XI based on school leadership, team effectiveness, and school culture. Four hundred respondents were chosen for this study using a stratified sample technique and a causal study design. The electronic survey facility, through Google Forms, collected data using standardized, adapted-modified questionnaires. The statistical methods used in the study included the mean, standard deviation, regression analysis, Pearson’s product-moment correlation, and structural equation model. Results revealed a very high level in the following: school leadership, team effectiveness, school culture, and job performance. Additionally, there was a substantial correlation between the independent and dependent variables. Also, school leadership, team effectiveness, and school culture influence the job performance of public elementary school teachers. Lastly, among the two generated models, Model 2 is the best-fit model for teachers’ job performance in terms of planning, development, and results with school leadership, team effectiveness, and school culture. These results imply that intensifying school leadership style may lead to an ideal school culture that can always be manifested, which would also strengthen team effectiveness and job performance to the highest level.
