Abstract:

The study determined the extent of application of the transcendental leadership style by the school administrators of secondary schools in Iligan City, Lanao del Norte during the school year 2009-2010 as perceived by 165 teachers. The research was descriptive - inferential in nature and used researcher-constructed questionnaire and the PAST for teachers’ performance. The data were statistically treated with percentage, weighted mean, Pearson correlation coefficients, chi-square and multiple linear regression. The study disclosed that the length of service and civil status of the teachers significantly determine the extent of the application of transcendental leadership style on the vision and mission, and the sex of the teachers significantly determine the extent of the application of the organization’s superior – subordinate relationship. The extent of the application of transcendental leadership style concerning the organization’s vision and mission and organization’s superior subordinate relationship significantly determine the performance rating of the teachers. The administrators should conduct regular monitoring of the teachers, promote improvement of their spiritual development, and encourage their professional growth. A summer institute on transcendental leadership styles for the executive positions in the Department of Education is endorsed.
