Abstract

This study correlated selected elementary school heads’ decision-making styles and their perceived work 
performance among their teachers in the division of Eastern Samar during the school year 2020-2021. An electronic 
two-part survey questionnaire generated through Google was utilized in collecting the data which were analyzed 
via median, interquartile range, and spearman rho test of significant relationship at 0.05 level of significance. The 
Findings revealed that most of the elementary school heads are frequently practicing dependent decision-making 
styles while their teachers are performing the expected seven key result areas most of the time. Moreover, a strong 
positively significant relationship was established between the dependent decision-making style of school heads 
and their teachers’ work performance. It can be inferred a direct impact brought by good decision making among 
school leaders to the overall performance of their teaching force. Hence, the researcher recommends extending this 
investigation to secondary school heads to further validate the findings.
