Effects of School Heads' Leadership Capability and Teachers' Financial Literacy on Teachers' Performance
Victor T. Dela Cruz, PhD

Abstract:
The main concern of the study was to assess the effects of the school heads' leadership capability and the teachers' financial literacy on the teachers' performance. A descriptive-correlational research design was used in the study and utilized standardized instruments as data gathering tools. The respondents of the study were teachers at public schools in both elementary and secondary levels in the District of Plaridel, Bulacan for the school year 2019-2020. The results were processed using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings were exhibited using the necessary tables and figures. The results were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics. Specifically, the school heads' leadership capability, teachers' financial literacy, and the teachers' performance were quantified using weighted mean procedures. The effect of the independent variables on the dependent variable was analyzed using correlation and regression procedures. The findings revealed that the school heads' leadership capability showed the general mean value of 3.65 and interpreted as "High". The teachers' financial literacy revealed the general total mean value of 2.66 and interpreted as "highly literate". The teachers' performance revealed an "outstanding" rating with the general total mean value of 4.50 to the following indicators of IPCRF. Both school heads' leadership capability and teachers' financial literacy did not produce significant combined effects on teachers' performance. The findings drew several implications that may help school heads and teachers realize the need for a comprehensive awareness of leadership capability, financial literacy, and teachers' performance.
