There are various factors affecting the professional competencies of school heads.
These factors would include increasing demand on the administrative and instructional
role in ensuring school effectiveness as well as the quality of their performance. Even the

Recently, the demands for qualified school heads had marked a tremendous
increase due to the limited numbers of qualifiers and passers of the Department of

by the DepEd to predict and determine the level of the capacity and readiness of aspiring
that serve as the total of the responsibilities and roles of school leaders in public schools
(DepEd Order No. 32, s. 2010). Meanwhile, the roles and responsibilities of the school
leaders are considered endless. Their commitment and passion to serve extend even to the
point that they need to sacrifice their own families and principles in life. Knuth and Bank
(2006) believed that school principals are regarding the school as their own home, and
The same reason, why they are afraid to fail because they knew for sure that when
they did, it comes a great social cost to the learners and their respective families, at
significant economic and often political costs to the school community, and an extreme
personal cost to the principals themselves. This situation means that school leaders are
tasked, and somehow pressured, to do everything to perform their roles because failing
should not be part of how they handle their homes and families.

method to target educational change effort from a systems approach and the role that the
principals serve also as the success indicators of the schools. Having competent school

and performing their roles as efficient and effective leaders of the school. Also, school
leaders are also responsible for keeping the work environment safe and friendly.
It would include establishing the spirit of camaraderie and respect to each other
between the teachers-co-teachers and other school staff. This task is not quite easy for
school heads who are for sometimes need to be re-assigned to different schools, because
each school is an independent entity and has its own peculiarity, that there is this
particular organizational culture that has been earlier established even before they came
to the school.
According to Tsai (2018), organizational culture generally involves the belief that
can guide staff in knowing what to do and what not to do, including practices, values, and
assumptions about their work wherein the central values of an organization first starts
with its leadership, which will then evolve to a leadership style. This idea would simply
mean that organizational culture has been part of the school community even time
immemorial from what they have learned from their previous school leaders and
colleagues. In this premise, the school community has their understanding of what is
effective or not.

However, this level of understanding tends to vary depending upon how they
would accept change, and they would be willing to share their vision for the success of
the school with their new school leaders. In this study, the primary purpose is to assess
the impact of the professional competencies of school heads on the school outcome,

Theoretical/Conceptual Framework
The study is anchored on the overarching theory of Social Cognitive Theory (early
known as Social Learning Theory) pioneered by Bandura and as cited in Feng (2011).
This theory posited that the learning development of an individual is very much affected
by the triadic-reciprocal relationship between and among the individual social self,
immediate environment, and prior knowledge. From this theory, it can assume that school
heads are being bombarded and challenged with various factors that tend to influence
their leadership performance and their ability to functions as leaders to their subordinates.
Further, from this theory, it can be assured that the school heads’ choice of instructional
supervision and professional practices in leading and managing the schools are affected
by the emerging needs within their immediate working environment. At the same time,
their professional practice is influenced by how they process their professional training
knowledge).
Also, the management behaviors they commonly used are based on their habitual
training that becomes part of their everyday manner of relating to their subordinates

(social self). Hence, this theory becomes helpful for the researcher to describe the
connections of the four variables and how these connections would produce varying

Organizational Culture. This refers to the beliefs and values that have existed in
an organization for a long time, and to the views of the staff and the foreseen values of
their work that influenced their attitudes and behaviors (Lawal & Oguntuashe, 2012). In
this study, organizational culture was quantified using the five dimensions identified by
Sashkin & Rosenbach (2013) which include: (1) managing change; (2) achieving goals;

Principals’ Performance. This refers to the recorded performance of the school
heads in the National Principals’ Test given by DepEd as a mechanism for selecting
school heads in the public education sector. The test is open to all interested applicants
for School Principal I positions. The National Educators Academy of the Philippines
(NEAP) administers and conducts the test in coordination with the Schools Divisions
Offices (SDOs) through the Regional Offices (ROs). The domains included in this exam
are stated under the (National Competency-Based Standards for School Heads

school heads’ competencies, such as: (1) school leadership; (2) instructional leadership;

three components, such as the (1) instructional practice and (2) professional development

Teachers’ Performance Ratings are presented in this study by computing the mean

a shared undertaking between the head of agency and the employees that allows an open
discussion of job expectations, key result areas, objectives, and how this aligns to the
overall department goals. The school heads OPCRF provides a venue for agreement on
standards of performance and behaviors which lead to professional and personal growth
in the organization.

Organizational Culture is defined as the beliefs and values that have existed in an
organization for a long time and to the beliefs of the staff and the foreseen values of their
work that influenced their attitudes and behaviors (Lawal & Oguntuashe, 2012). In a
similar note from the words of Tsai (2018), organizational culture is the belief that can
guide staff in knowing what to do and what not to do, including practices, values, and
assumptions about their work, wherein the central values of an organization first start
with its leadership, which will then evolve to a leadership style. In this study,
organizational culture is quantified into five dimensions (Sashkin & Rosenbach, 2013) to
wit: (1) managing change; (2) achieving goals; (3) coordinating teamwork; (4) building a
strong culture; and (5) customer orientation. Each of the functions is supported by the
values and beliefs that are commonly valued and appreciated by the organization's
members.

competencies, such as: (1) school leadership; (2) instructional leadership; (3) creating
management and operations; and (7) personal and professional attributes and
interpersonal effectiveness.

Conclusions
In light of the findings of the study, the following conclusions are drawn:
2. The developing Level of Practice of SBM shows that the elementary and junior
high schools need further initiative for growth and development in all the four
strong indication that school improvement is very much possible, together with
the vast majority of school heads with outstanding performance. With these
school years.
3. The schools’ organizational culture of the elementary and junior high schools has
established a high level image to the teacher which reflects the presence of a
positive ambiance in the workplace. This premise could serve as a viable conduit
4. Having the majority of school heads of the elementary and junior high schools
who are passers of DepEd Principals’ Test, there is a greater assurance that the

school leaders possess the standard qualifications and competencies needed to
