Abstract:
This study investigated the determining role of school administrators’ instructional leadership styles in relation to organizational agility and organizational efficacy in secondary schools of Dupax del Norte for the academic year 2025–2026. Utilizing a quantitative research design with a descriptive–correlational approach, the study involved secondary school teachers selected through stratified sampling based on school population, with sample size determined using Slovin’s formula. Data was gathered using validated and reliable research instruments and analyzed using mean, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and coefficient of determination. All hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that teachers perceived their schools to have a very good level of organizational agility (grand mean = 4.15), particularly in governance and proactive problem-solving, though continuous learning and innovation require strengthening. Organizational efficacy was rated very good (grand mean = 4.24), with high levels of teamwork and organizational commitment, although innovation and operational systems still need further enhancement. The instructional leadership styles of school administrators were also evaluated as very good (grand mean = 4.47), with coaching and supporting emerging as the strongest dimensions. Correlation analysis disclosed a highly positive and significant relationship between instructional leadership styles and both organizational agility (r = 0.876) and organizational efficacy (r = 0.702), demonstrating that effective leadership significantly enhances adaptability, responsiveness, and institutional performance. A strong relationship was also found between organizational agility and organizational efficacy (r = 0.756), indicating that more agile schools tend to be more effective. Based on these findings, an Organizational Development Intervention Program was designed to strengthen adaptive capacity, operational excellence, and leadership effectiveness to further sustain institutional growth and resilience.
