THE MODERATING EFFECT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCHOOL HEADS' MANAGEMENT SKILLS AND TEACHER JOB SATISFACTION

Abstract: This study examined the moderating effect of organizational culture on the relationship between school management skills and teacher job satisfaction in DepEd Region XI, employing a quantitative non-experimental research design that utilized moderating analysis. The results indicate that the school heads’ management skills and teacher job satisfaction were rated at a high level. Organizational culture was also rated at a high level, with strong aspects in change management, goal achievement, coordinated teamwork, and cultural strength. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant relationship between school head management skills and teacher job satisfaction, suggesting that effective leadership enhances teacher satisfaction. Likewise, a significant positive correlation was observed between organizational culture and teacher job satisfaction, indicating that a strong organizational culture contributes significantly to teachers’ sense of fulfillment and contentment in their roles. However, organizational culture did not moderate this relationship, indicating that while both variables independently contribute to teacher job satisfaction, the direct impact of management skills remains unchanged regardless of the organizational culture. These findings underscore the need to enhance school heads’ leadership development programs and strengthen school culture to improve teacher job satisfaction and overall school performance.
