INFLUENCE OF RESHUFFLING SCHOOL HEADS ON TEACHERS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS WORK

Education

This study investigated the effects of changing school heads to the teachers specifically on their work attitudes. It was done in three public high schools in San Miguel, Surigao del Sur, where school heads had been reshuffled more than once in recent years. The researcher used a mix of surveys and interviews to gather information from 54 teachers who experienced these changes. Results showed that when a new school head comes in, it can affect teachers' performance, motivation, and working conditions. Teachers shared those changes in leadership styles, new school policies, and differences in school culture made it hard for them to adjust. Some felt stressed or less motivated, while others managed to adapt depending on how the new school head led the school. The frequent reshuffling also caused problems in continuing school plans and projects. The study suggests that school leaders and the Department of Education should carefully plan leadership changes and support teachers during transitions. This will help avoid confusion and keep the school running smoothly. The findings also give ideas for how schools can better handle leadership reshuffling in the future.
