Captivating Leadership and Teamwork Structure in Relation to Managerial Wellness of Teachers in Public Elementary Schools

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the significant relationship between captivating leadership and teamwork structure in relation to managerial wellness among teachers in public elementary schools in Manay District, Division of Davao Oriental. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, with a sample of 131 public elementary school teachers selected through universal sampling. Data were gathered using standardized survey questionnaires, which were validated by experts and subjected to a reliability test to ensure consistency and accuracy of measurement. The data were analyzed using mean, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses. The findings indicated that captivating leadership (M=3.79; SD=0.33), teamwork structure (M=3.36; SD=0.32) and managerial wellness (M=3.80; SD=0.36) were all rated as high. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between captivating leadership and managerial wellness (r=0.71; p-value=0.000), as well as between teamwork structure and managerial wellness (r=0.68; p-value=0.000). Furthermore, the study found that captivating leadership and teamwork structure significantly influenced the managerial wellness of teachers (r=0.83; p-value=0.000). It is recommended that the Department of Education may continue to promote leadership and teamwork enhancement initiatives by cultivating a positive working environment and strengthening collaboration among school heads, teachers, and administrators to improve overall managerial wellness in schools.
