Abstract:
This study determined the leadership roles, work engagement, job demands and job resources of teaching personnel of a school in Batangas, as well as the relationships of these factors. The study showed that teachers are engaged in their work, and they assess the levels of their job demands and job resources as high. It was also shown that the results of the assessment of the factors were in accordance with the Job Demands-Resources Model. The model states that when job demands and resources are high, workers experience engagement in their work. The number of leadership roles has no significant moderating effect on the relationship between job demands and work engagement. Number of leadership roles has significant and negative moderating effect on the relationship of job resources and work engagement. Increasing number of leadership roles tend to diminish the level of work engagement even if job resources are increased at the same time. This finding shows that increasing job resources does not compensate for the increase in the number of leadership roles or assignments of teachers. A management intervention plan of action was proposed to improve work engagement of teachers, reduce job demands and improve job resources. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that work engagement of teachers may be enhanced by reducing workload by limiting leadership roles or assignments to minimum, increasing support to teachers, enhancing personnel training and development, increasing autonomy and participation in decision-making, and conduct of regular performance feedback.
