Abstract:

Teachers and students perform at their best when they are managed by an administrator who possesses good leadership styles and communication skills. This study aimed to determine the influence of administrators’ leadership and communication skills on teachers’ empowerment and students’ achievement in public secondary schools in Bongao, Tawi-Tawi, Philippines. It used a descriptive-quantitative design. The respondents were the teachers and students of five public secondary schools in the above- mentioned locale. The research instruments were surveyed questionnaire and an interview guide. Based on the findings of the study, administrators manifested an average extent of practice for leadership styles and communication skills. Teachers manifested an average extent of practice in terms of teachers’ empowerment. Moreover, students showed low achievement in English, Reading, Science, and Mathematics. Furthermore, administrators’ leadership styles significantly influence teachers’ empowerment but do not significantly influence students’ achievement. Meanwhile, administrators’ communication skills significantly influence the teachers’ empowerment and students’ achievement. However, teachers’ empowerment does not significantly influence students’ achievement among public secondary schools in Bongao, Tawi-Tawi. Thus, the research findings support the idea that administrators’ leadership styles influence teachers, empowerment while administrators’ communication skills influence both teachers’ empowerment and students’ achievement in public secondary schools in Bongao, Tawi-Tawi, Philippines.
