Leadership Styles and Their Impact on Educational Outcomes in the Philippines
Keywords:
Leadership Styles, Transformational Leadership, Instructional Leadership, Distributed LeadershipAbstract
This systematic review examines the evolving landscape of school leadership styles in the Philippines and their impact on educational outcomes. By analyzing literature from 2015 to 2024, the review explores how various leadership styles—transformational, instructional, and distributed leadership—have been adapted and implemented within the Philippine educational context. It assesses the effectiveness of these leadership approaches in improving student achievement, teacher performance, and overall school management practices. The review synthesizes findings from empirical studies, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each leadership style in fostering a positive school environment and enhancing educational outcomes. It identifies key trends, such as the growing emphasis on collaborative leadership models and the integration of teacher development into leadership strategies. However, the review also addresses the challenges schools face, particularly in rural areas, where limited resources and access to leadership training hinder the full potential of these leadership approaches. The paper concludes by offering insights into current trends in school leadership and suggests areas for further research, particularly in exploring the long-term impact of leadership styles. Additionally, it recommends policy reforms focused on enhancing leadership training and fostering a collaborative culture within schools to improve educational practices and outcomes across diverse contexts.
