Abstract:
The primary purpose of the study was to determine the impact
of school transformational leadership on the teacher efficacy of
the public Junior High Schools in the Division of Digos City. The
respondents of the study were the (100) junior high school
teachers of Digos City division who have been in the service for
three (3) years and permanent employees who were randomly
selected. The study used a non-experimental quantitative
method of research. In this study, the researcher employed the
quantitative descriptive type using the regression analysis
method of research. This study aimed to determine the level of
transformational leadership as a determinant of teacher efficacy
in the Secondary Schools District, Division of Digos City. The
finding reveals that transformational leadership in terms of the
idealized influence of leaders and intellectual stimulation and
creativity are oftentimes manifested. Transformational
leadership, in terms of the ability to inspire others and
individualized consideration, is rated very extensively, which
corresponds to the effective leadership of the school heads.
There is a significant relationship between transformational
leadership on teacher efficacy. The greater the transformational
leadership in school, the better the teacher efficacy; hence
positive correlation occurs when an increase in two variables
decreases at the same time. Transformational leadership
significantly influences teacher efficacy. This transformational
leadership is statistically significant to teacher efficacy
