| Abstract | This research explored the correlation between managerial abilities, professional growth, and supervisory efficiency of school administrators in Iloilo Schools Division for school year 2024–2025. With a descriptive-correlational research design, data were collected from 264 public elementary and secondary school administrators via a validated researcher-developed questionnaire. The tool assessed three major dimensions: managerial abilities, engagement in professional development activities, and supervisory efficiency. Descriptive statistics indicated that the school heads exhibited high levels of managerial ability and supervisory effectiveness, as well as moderate to high levels of engagement in professional development activities. Pearson's correlation analysis indicated a strong positive correlation between managerial ability and supervisory effectiveness (r = 0.72), and a moderate positive correlation between professional development and supervisory effectiveness (r = 0.58). Multiple regression analysis also revealed that managerial competence was the best predictor of supervisory performance, followed by professional growth, with the model explaining 65% of the variance (R² = 0.65). The findings underscore the importance of leadership skills and ongoing learning to improve school heads' capacity to lead and support teachers. According to these conclusions, the research advises strengthening leadership development initiatives, enhanced access to professional development, and enhanced structural support for instructional supervision. The strategies will improve the capacity of school heads in leadership and help aggregate school improvement. The research also advises further investigation into contextual factors that impact school leadership effectiveness. |
