Abstract:

Youth leaders nowadays are well-versed in the difficulties affecting the world, and they are increasingly concerned with finding long-term solutions to these social, political, and environmental problems. Therefore, in this research, the predictive relationship between each leadership style (directing leadership, coaching leadership, supporting leadership, and delegating leadership) and the leadership effectiveness of Filipino youth leaders was investigated from 136 respondents ranging from 18 – 25 years of age in the Philippines. The data was gathered by following a predictivecorrelational research design. Descriptive results showed that, on average, Filipino youth leaders have moderate directing, supporting, coaching, and delegating leadership styles, and at the same time, they also have high leadership effectiveness. With the utilization of correlation and multiple regression analysis, it was shown that there is a significant relationship between directing leadership style, coaching leadership style, supporting leadership style, delegating leadership style, and leadership effectiveness of Filipino youth leaders. It also showed that directing leadership style (B = 1.895, t = 3.511) and supporting leadership style (B = 1.459, t = 3.264) significantly predict the leadership effectiveness of Filipino youth leaders. Directing leadership style is also the best predictor. In conclusion, researchers found that various leadership styles can be adapted by different leaders to increase their effectiveness in leading other people to address social and political issues.
