Abstract

Using the SEM, this study aimed to determine the best-fit model for school effectiveness in organizational climate, school heads’ managerial skills, and professional competence. The study utilized stratified random sampling to select 400 respondents from around Region XI. Standardized test questionnaires were distributed to respondents to collect study data. Statistical tools were used for data analysis, including mean, standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation, linear regression, and SEM. The results revealed that the levels of organizational climate, professional competence, managerial skills, and school effectiveness were consistently high, with a significant relationship among these variables, confirming that all exogenous variables significantly influence school effectiveness and further reflected significant relationships among the variables. The results showed that the third model satisfied the goodness of fit among the three models. Which best exhibited school effectiveness as reflected by the level of significance of the indicators: organizational climate, managerial skills, and professional competence. This indicates its potential to contribute towards improving the effectiveness of school heads. Moreover, the study’s findings can significantly enhance one of the 17 sustainable and developmental goals, Goal 4, or Quality Education.
