Abstract:
Students' mindset significantly relates to the leadership style of student leaders. This study determined the relationship between students' growth and fixed mindset to their inclined leadership style (authoritative, democratic, facilitative, and situational). The respondents were selected through cluster sampling and participated by 100 student leaders (Supreme Student Government) from the different Junior High Schools of DepEd Ozamiz City Division. The study utilized a descriptive-correlational research design. The study used Mindset Quiz Questionnaire adopted by Carol Dweck (2006) and Leadership Style Questionnaire crafted by Sharma and Singh (2013) as instruments to collect data. Mean, Standard Deviation, Paired Sample t-Test, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient were the statistical tools used. Findings revealed that; 1. student leaders have a very highly manifested growth mindset and are very highly inclined to a democratic style of leadership 2. there is a significant relationship between student leaders' manifested mindset and their inclined leadership style 3. There is a significant difference between a growth and a fixed mindset. The researcher crafted a developmental and training plan based on the results to foster a growth mindset and enhance student leaders' leadership skills. The study recommends that school heads formulate a leadership development plan and that teachers instill a growth mindset in everyday teaching to produce efficient and effective leaders.
