Abstract : The purpose of the current study was to determine if symbolic leadership orientation mediated the association between teachers' commitment and supervisory effectiveness. The present investigation's respondents were the 198 public elementary school teachers in Davao Central District, Division of Davao City, chosen by the investigator. The respondents were chosen using a stratified random sampling technique. A descriptive-correlational strategy was used in a non- experimental quantitative research design. The following statistical techniques were applied to the gathered data: mean, Pearson moment product correlation, multiple linear regression analysis, and mediation analysis using a structural equation model. The results showed that the dedication of instructors, the supervisory effectiveness of the school heads, and their symbolic leadership orientation were all characterized as extensive. Furthermore, correlation research showed that the symbolic leadership orientation of school heads, the efficacy of their supervision, and the dedication of instructors are significantly correlated.
