Abstract :
The study delved into how the communication styles of school leaders shape the culture in public elementary
schools within the IGACOS Division. Its goal was to shed light on the relationship between different ways of communicating
and the overall atmosphere in these schools. To conduct the research, the team selected 150 public elementary teachers using
a systematic sampling approach and employed a descriptive-correlational survey to gather insights. The findings showed
that school leaders generally communicated quite effectively, which helped create a positive school culture. There was a clear
correlation between the way school heads interacted with their staff and the school environment they fostered. The various
communication styles—whether aggressive, assertive, open, or inclusive—each played a significant role in making the school
a welcoming place for both teachers and students. Based on these findings, the study suggested that the Department of
Education should offer support to school leaders to further develop their communication skills. This investment could enrich
the educational experience for everyone involved. Additionally, the researchers encouraged future studies to take a closer
look at these dynamics, possibly incorporating qualitative or mixed-method approaches to gain a deeper understanding of
the factors at play.
