Dynamic Leadership and Strategic Management of Public Secondary School Principals

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

School principals have a unique way of leading their people and managing their schools. As school leaders and managers, they often encounter challenges in performing their duties and responsibilities. Their experiences, attitudes, and personality greatly contribute to coming up with these challenges. In this study, I determined the levels of dynamic leadership and strategic management of public secondary school principals in the six Division of Pangasinan.

METHODS

The descriptive-correlational research design was used in this study which sought to describe the respondents' in terms of their profile variable and the level of their dynamic leadership and strategic management. It is also correlated with such a level of dynamic leadership and strategic management with the profile variables. To address the foregoing problems in this study, statistical measures were used for data analysis and interpretations.

RESULTS

Based on the findings, the following were drawn: 1) the public secondary school principals widely vary in their profile and at certain instances their variations are in extreme cases and are predominantly female group of principals, and most of them did not finish their doctorate degree 2) the performance level of PSSPs in terms of dynamic leadership is impressive 3) the performance level of PSSPs in terms of strategic management is likewise commendable 4) the profile variables are not sources of variation on the PSSPs level of dynamic leadership and strategic management 5) there is a positive correlation between the level ofdynamic leadership and strategic management along attitude towards leading and managing the schools.

DISCUSSIONS

The results demonstrate the need for the following: 1) the public secondary school principals should take their own initiative to further hone their professional upgrading by completing their doctorate degrees 2) the very high level of dynamic leadership of the PSSPs should be sustained for the benefit of the teachers, students and the community 3) the very high level of strategic management of PSSPs should be strengthened to make their schools continuously improve 4) more appropriate and relevant variables should be explored to better determine the dynamic leadership and strategic management of PSSPs 5)The very favorable attitudes towards leading and managing of PSSPs should be nurtured 6) further study should be conducted to determine the level of dynamic leadership and strategic management of the PSSPs using a wider scope.
