ABSTRACT:
This study aimed to determine the empowering leadership styles and teachers' performance in the South District of Dipolog City, Province of Zamboanga del Norte during the school year 2023-2024. Descriptive survey and correlational research methods were employed. There were one hundred twenty-three (123) respondents involved. Weighted mean, standard deviation, , and Spearman Rank-Order Correlation Coefficient (Spearman rho) were the statistical tools used with JAMOVI and MS EXCEL as the statistical softwares. The level of empowering leadership was very high in terms of individual goal-oriented empowerment and high in terms of vision-oriented empowerment, independent/autonomy empowerment, and delegation of authority empowerment. The level of teachers’ performance in terms of IPCRF for the school year 2023-2024 was very satisfactory. There was no significant relationship between the levels of empowering leadership and teacher performance. Based on the findings and conclusions, the author recommends that the DepEd Top Officials in the different governance levels utilize the findings of this study as valuable input to the human resource development plan. The School Heads would also use the findings of the study for inclusion in their School Learning Action Cell (SLAC). The teachers would also reflect based on the findings of this study for possible improvement of their performance.
