SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS’ LEADERSHIP SATISFACTION AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE PRACTICES TOWARDS SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT

Educational Management

This study investigated the connection between secondary school administrators' leadership satisfaction, healthy lifestyle practices, and school development in Region XII, specifically in the Schools Division Offices of Cotabato, Sarangani, South Cotabato, and Sultan Kudarat. A quantitative research design was used in this study. Descriptive statistics, such as weighted mean, and inferential statistics, such as Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and linear regression, were the statistical tools used for quantitative data. The quantitative phase with 218 participants found high levels of leadership satisfaction, healthy lifestyle practices, and school development. Between these factors, there was a positive correlation. Leadership satisfaction programs could focus on leadership programs, professional development, transformational development, infrastructure challenges, strengthening school-community partnerships, and empowering school leaders and teachers. Healthy lifestyle interventions could center around administrator wellness programs. The leadership satisfaction policies could focus on prioritizing governance and education, school leadership, monitoring evaluation, and dynamics in governance, while the healthy lifestyle practices policies could focus on healthy lifestyles and healthy learning institutions.
