Abstract
This study entitled “Problem-Solving Styles, Work Attitude, and Motivation of School Heads in Relation to Work Performance: Basis for Intervention” was to examine the level of problem-solving styles, work attitude, and motivation on the work performance of the school heads. A Survey Questionnaire for Problem-Solving Styles, Work Attitude, and Motivation was administered to 105 respondents, who were the school heads from the Division of Talisay City and the Division of Bacolod City. Their Office Performance Commitment and Review Form was the basis for their work performance. To know the level of problem-solving styles and motivation, the mean was used and interpreted as very high, high, average, low, and very low. To know the level of work attitude, the mean was interpreted as very positive, positive, moderate, negative, and very negative. With the use of Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney, the results of this study revealed a significant difference in the problem-solving styles of school heads in terms of age, gender, and length of service. Using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney, the findings showed no significant difference in the work attitude of the school heads regarding age, gender, and length of service. Based on the results, it was found that there was a significant difference in the motivation level of school heads in terms of age. Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in the motivation level regarding gender and length of service. Finally, using gamma, there was no significant relationship between the school heads’ problem-solving styles, work attitude, and motivation toward their work performance.
