Abstract:
Teachers who perform poorly do not produce good results; instead, they exhibit unfavorable behavior that could prevent others from carrying out their tasks and reduce staff credibility. 205 public elementary school teachers from the Davao del Norte division of the Department of Education's Kapalong East and Langilan Districts participated in this descriptive correlational study. The data was analyzed using linear regression analysis, mean scores, and Parson's correlation coefficient. The results of the study demonstrated a high level of observation in social support, leadership style, and performance appraisal. Furthermore, regression analysis showed that social support and leadership style are significantly correlated with teachers' performance reviews. The data was analyzed using linear regression analysis, mean scores, and Parson's correlation coefficient. The results of the study demonstrated that social support, leadership style, and performance reviews were all high level of observation. Moreover, regression analysis revealed that both leadership style and social support have significant relationship to performance appraisal of the teachers. These findings imply that the best performance evaluation of the teacher can be improved by enhancing the mission and vision through the use of transformational and transactional leadership styles, as well as through the provision of emotional and appraisal support. The finding of this study will benefit the school administrator from knowing what qualities are necessary for them to carry out their duties and responsibilities in an efficient manner, as well as the Department of Education management in choosing the appropriate person to become a school administrator.
