Administrators’ Communication Styles and their Leadership Effectiveness: Basis for a Proposed Enhancement Plan

Considering the school administrators' styles of communicating, teachers are influenced on how to react and act when it comes to the accomplishment of school tasks that reflect the administrators' leadership. This study aims to determine the impacts of school administrators' communication styles on their leadership effectiveness. The data were obtained from a total of 233 qualified teachers and school administrators in the chosen public Junior High Schools in Congressional District IV of Nueva Ecija. With the use of descriptive-correlational method, it was found out that most of the school administrators in the chosen schools are Personal Communicators and Functional communicators. The higher level of personal communication and functional communication of the school administrators, the better the leadership effectiveness as to individual consideration, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation and task completion among their subordinates. They tend to actualize transformational leadership in the workplace and to be more effective when it comes to their leadership. They should recognize the importance of how the teachers perceived their communication styles and leadership effectiveness so that they can be able to establish good relation and rapport with their teachers to ensure the accomplishment of the schools' goals
