Abstract
This study utilized the descriptive correlational method in determining the influences of empathy on the leadership practices and management skills of school heads. This study involved one hundred public elementary and secondary school teachers from two school divisions. An online survey questionnaire was used to gather the perceived level of empathy of school heads, and the extent of their leadership practices, and management skills. The data gathered were analyzed using weighted mean and Spearman rho. The findings revealed that the school heads have a very high level of empathy, and demonstrate a very high extent of leadership practices and management skills. The perceived level of empathy of the school heads appeared to have a strong positive relationship with all aspects of both leadership practices and management skills except for controlling which showed a moderate positive correlation. The study concludes that the school heads’ level leadership practices and management skills are driven by empathy making them adaptable to varying circumstances that lead to positive outcomes.
