A Structural Equation Model on Knowledge Management of School Heads

Abstract ―​

The study aimed to determine the best fit model on knowledge management of school heads in region XI. This study made used descriptive-correlational design and employed structural equation modeling. Using a simple random sampling technique, the researcher has chosen the 400 public school teachers across the Davao region as the respondents. To gather substantial data, the researcher made use of pilot-tested and enhanced adapted questionnaires to determine the level of leadership self-efficacy, relational leadership, organizational socialization and the knowledge management of school heads. Based on the results, the level of leadership self-efficacy, relational leadership, organizational socialization and the knowledge management of school heads obtained different mean scores, but all belong to the descriptive level equivalent to very high. Meanwhile, significant positive correlation of leadership self-efficacy, relational leadership and organizational socialization to the knowledge management were established. Further, results showed that relational leadership and organizational socialization significantly predicts knowledge management. However, leadership self-efficacy does not predict knowledge management. Lastly, the structural equation model revealed that knowledge management of public school heads in the region is best anchored on their organizational socialization and supported by their leadership self-efficacy.
