Adviser: Roel Jr. D. Apas, MPA
Persuasion is a valuable tool used by leaders to influence their
followers to achieve common organizational goals. Leadership is thought
of as a mutually beneficial relationship. The study's primary goal is to
investigate the connection between youth leaders in Bansalan, Davao del
Sur, and their level of education and leadership abilities. The researcher
used a full enumeration sample and a correlational research strategy to
achieve the study's objective. According to the study, youth leaders who
are self-aware, have good communication skills, and manage their time
well are seen as having great administrative skills, which is frequently
seen as an indication of their leadership potential. Additionally, there is no
discernible relationship between the educational background of young
leaders in Bansalan Davao del Sur and their leadership abilities.
Regardless of educational attainment level, youth leaders' youth
leadership skills are viewed as quick, flexible, indulgent, and successful.
Keywords: Leadership Skills, Educational Attainment, Municipality of
Bansalan.

CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
A great deal of study has been done on leadership during the last
fifty years, resulting in the development of 350 definitions and 65
categories. The focus this study has placed on comprehending the "good"
aspects of leadership has led to the present glamorization of the field. For
this reason, leaders of troubled organizations are seen as heroes and
saviors. A mutually beneficial relationship in which the leader persuades
the followers to accomplish shared corporate goals is how Cote (2017)
defines leadership. Accordingly, the following components of leadership
are essential: leadership occurs in group environments; leadership is a
transactional activity; leadership entails persuading followers; and
leadership encompasses achieving objectives (Northouse, 2016).
Globalization was defined and supported by America in the decades
that followed, using its influence to ensure economic prosperity both
domestically and internationally. This global economic system, which could
not have been created without America, has helped almost a billion people
escape poverty at a rate never seen before. The American economy is
getting more and more integrated with other economies, and foreign
investment, international trade, and capital inflows are what keep it
thriving. American leadership in support of an open, rules-based, non-
discriminatory international system—one that fosters growth, flows of
people, ideas, investments, and commerce is essential to ensuring that
globalization continues to improve economic prosperity both at home and
abroad (Kyl & Lieberman, 2015).
The deeply ingrained indigenous fundamental beliefs that form the
foundation of Filipino culture nationwide may give the country's leadership
and administration a misleading impression. Social acceptance and kinship
families are significant facets of Filipino society. Because of this, the
leadership philosophies of patsamba-tsamba, kulit, takutan, and
pakiramdam are exclusive to Filipinos. Filipino leadership styles have a
significant influence in the workplace and in educational institutions. They
can also have a significant effect on an individual's mental health (Mapoy
et al., 2021).
Giving the endowment for AIM's new facility is one way that Mirant
Philippines, a local firm that supports Mindanao via its CSR activities, has
found an appropriate vehicle for its community investment in the area.
The ongoing civil unrest that has disrupted life in Mindanao for more than
three decades is largely the result of the widespread, government-led
migration of settlers, mainly Christians, from the country's more densely
populated islands to the lush agricultural plains of Mindanao (Hutchcroft,
2018).
Additionally, the researcher discovered a study that compared the
leadership abilities of young leaders in Bansalan, Davao del Sur, with
respect to their educational attainment. This is the context in which their
researcher is motivated to carry out a study that contrasts youth leaders'
leadership abilities and educational attainment in relation to leadership, as
this may cause concern for the study's intended beneficiaries and inspire
them to devise potential action plans that would better utilize the youth
leaders' leadership abilities. Consequently, the research has to be done.
Objectives of the Study
Examining the connection between young leaders' educational attainment and leadership abilities in Bansalan, Davao del Sur. It
attempted:
1. To ascertain young leaders' sociodemographic makeup, with regard:
1.1 Age;
1.2 Gender;
1.3 Religion;
1.4 Occupation Profession;
1.5 Educational Attainment; and
1.6 Organization Type.
2. To assess leadership skills of youth leaders in terms of:
2.1 Coordination of Tasks,
2.2 Social and Communication Skills; and
2.3 Mental Abilities.
3. Examine the connection between the leadership abilities and
educational achievement of young leaders in Bansalan, Davao del Sur.
Significance of the Study
The research's conclusions would help the following:
Teachers. Teachers will find significant value in the study's outcome since it will enable them to learn about local youth activities. This would assist them in motivating more young people to participate in community youth activities.
School Heads. School officials with information on the effects of
different adolescent activities. Moreover, it will facilitate a more profound
comprehension of the competencies held by youthful leaders in their own
establishment.
Community Members. The community will be informed by the
study's findings on the leadership abilities of young leaders in Bansalan,
Davao del Sur, and how much education they have received.
Parents. This study will demonstrate parents' knowledge of all
potential outcomes as well as their children's participation in local events.
By doing this, they will be better able to comprehend and encourage their
kids to become future community leaders.
Researchers. Findings could help them carry out more relevant
research. The way this study is conducted will contribute to the
researcher's social development. Both the researcher and their leadership
skills in real life may benefit from this study. This research project will
support the development of self-assurance, inventiveness, and initiative to
complete the data collection, analysis, presentation, and result
interpretation.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
Study sole objective’s ascertain how young leaders' leadership
abilities and their level of education relate to one another. The study's
respondents were fifty young leaders from various organizations who live
in Bansalan, Davao del Sur. The study was carried out in accordance with
local laws and the safety and health recommendations of the Inter-Agency
Task Force (IATF) in order to curb the spread of COVID-19 by the
researcher and responders. Descriptive-correlational research
methodology was employed in this study, which was completed in
December 2022. In addition, the survey questionnaires were distributed in
March and April of 2023.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Leadership
The art of leadership is encouraging and motivating others to make
positive contributions to the betterment of an organization, a nation, or a
community. As your first job, identify your top five qualities of a good
leader and your top five qualities of a terrible leader. You can use
economics, the environment, equality, or any other set of concepts or
convictions to describe the "better place." By recognizing these traits, you
may focus on improving your leadership abilities. A deep comprehension
of leadership and leaders is essential for all aspiring and emerging leaders
(Everett, 2021).
Youth policy, in this context, refers to a strategy for motivating
youth to engage in society and political issues more. A group of young
people known as the Kabataan Party-list in the Philippine Congress
continuously prioritizes the advancement of comprehensive development
and genuine youth empowerment. It backs youth- and student-run
organizations that encourage youth participation in the political process
organizations that promote social and political change (Sarmiento &
Ignacio, 2015).
Additionally, school effectiveness was very high and regularly
displayed, cultural intelligence was strong and frequently observable, and
principals demonstrated high degrees of leadership behaviors, meaning
they did so consistently. Furthermore, it was found that all combinations
of these traits demonstrated strong relationships with academic
achievement, cultural acuity, and leadership style. As per Dagohoy's (2018)
findings, the mediation analysis revealed that cultural intelligence played a
significant role in partially mediating the relationship between leadership
practices and school effectiveness. This suggests that cultural intelligence
is not the only factor that influences the effectiveness of leadership
practices.
Youth Leaders' Capabilities in Leadership
Healthcare workers are taught several organizational skills through
leadership fellowships. Some find it difficult to refine these skills once they
get back to their regular routines, that they have little prospects for career
advancement, and that they no longer get regular support from their
network of colleagues. Inadequate clinical leadership has been implicated
in patient care failures in a number of public probes and investigations. It
is critical that individuals who complete leadership fellowships have the
opportunity to develop and apply their skills (Sen & Moss, 2017).
According to Fernandez et al. (2021), participants in the MCH PHL I
program experienced the economic effects of the "great recession," which
they claimed led to complex leadership issues that affected their funding,
staffing, and ability to meet the needs of the communities they served. In
this regard, the program offered an immensely helpful, skills-focused
approach for developing leaders based on data from 2009 to 2014.
Furthermore, research on community participation and youth
leadership development demonstrates that young people are usually the
most influential segment within their communities. The sixth Research
Priority Area of the American Association for Agricultural Education is
focused on community development. It is claimed that studies pertaining
to this goal should look at the characteristics of thriving, resilient
communities that inspire people and children to grow up to be future
community leaders and members as well as develop and test models for
raising civic involvement in agriculture education. The results of this study
provide strong evidence for how a community could develop and utilize its
own social capital. The organization purposefully concentrates on
emotional intelligence in an attempt to increase the value of its young
leaders to the social capital fabric of their community (McElravy & Hastings, 2014).
Administrative Leadership Skills
The bulk of management theories and the complexity, volume, and speed of information flow that modern leaders encounter at work don't provide business solutions for their existing problems. Currently, theories that discuss certain facets of leadership like a leader's characteristics, communication style, and sincerity do not offer precise definitions (Kozminski et al., 2022).
Regarding this, a great deal of knowledge exists about the
effectiveness of different leadership philosophies, but very little of it is
applicable to Pakistan. While genuine leadership refers to actual leaders
who conduct successful management via self-authenticity, servant
leadership is the inclination to put others before oneself. Following their
separation, both distinct leadership philosophies have attracted increased
attention from researchers looking to explore their many possible uses in
organizational and psychological contexts (Abbas et al., 2020).
In this regard, young leadership development initiatives and
organizations have a long history of operation. Participation in formal
leadership programs, sports, extracurricular activities, faith-based and
volunteer work, youth-led community projects, summer camps, and
international organizations have all been linked to the development of
young leadership. However, these are situations in which the only chance
for leadership growth is often through involvement alone. However,
official leadership programs, whether they take place in or outside of
schools, include training sessions, workshops, and retreats in addition to
the purposeful teaching of concepts and skills (Seemiller, 2018).
Furthermore, in the twenty years after the International Conference
on Population and Development, youth involvement in sexual and
reproductive health and rights, policies, and programs has flourished
globally, working at many levels from local initiatives to international
lobbying. The Programme of Action adopted some first steps to
acknowledge the involvement of young people after the ICPD in 1994. A
few examples of these considerations are the need for youth involvement in
the development of educational initiatives related to the ICPD
Programme of Action, the inclusion of young people in programs promoting
reproductive health, and the encouragement of youth
participation in all spheres of society, including political processes and
leadership roles (Villa-Torres & Svanemyr, 2014).
Interpersonal Leadership Skills
The involvement of young people in peace-promoting initiatives
provides these initiatives vitality and uniqueness. According to peace
educators, professionals have an obligation to talk with young people
about the information, attitudes, abilities, and actions that promote social
justice and world peace. They do this action because they think that
school is a place where cultures of peace or conflict may be fostered and
that young people provide creative energy and the active ability to change
violent conflict in the world (Kester, 2017).
Physical exercise is beneficial to the overall health of teenagers,
according to Wahl-Alexander & Jacobs (2022). One demographic with
limited opportunities for physical activity is young people incarcerated. To
far, sport leadership programs have been developed with this
demographic in mind; nevertheless, there is little information available on
the possibility of physical exercise for participants.
Additionally, a developing set of abilities for successful leadership at
Paulinian higher education institutions (HEIs) motivated by St. Paul’s
virtues, Fr. Chauvet and the exceptional SPC Sister-leaders. Only in terms
of the general leadership competencies—strategic visioning, change
management, and effective decision-making— is the emergent framework
comparable to other business executive leadership traits that have
empirically researched, such as servant and transformational leadership
(Medina, 2015).
Conceptual Leadership Skills
In recent years, youth leadership development has become a
growing field of study and practice. Several elements that are known to
be important in generating leaders and that are backed by international
literature are examined. Social and emotional intelligence, interpersonal
skills, visionary ability, and the capacity to gain knowledge or
comprehension of a certain subject are all significant elements of the skills
segment. As part of the atmosphere, there are genuine possibilities for
youth to hone and polish their skills.
Action-wise, the ability to uplift and support subordinates via high
standards and role modeling paves the foundation for having a strong
team on which to develop young leadership. Every effective youth leader
must possess this as well as skills attained from tenacity and effort
(Redmond & Dolan, 2016).
Moreover, in the cutthroat global world of today, leaders in
management education confront a number of challenges. Teachers,
students, financial concerns, and supervisors' shifting expectations all
contribute to the unstable environment that administrators need to thrive
in. Among the essential elements of applying the proper leadership skills is
necessary to be a successful leader in this circumstance. Numerous
guiding frameworks have historically been employed in leadership studies,
striking a balance between behaviors or talents that are particular to a
given environment and long-lasting, person-specific traits. While most of
these approaches have proven complimentary, others have argued that
leadership skills should receive more attention. These arguments usually
rest on the ideas that skills, unlike personality traits or intellectual
abilities,
are behaviors that can be learned and developed. They also contend that
by emphasizing skills, we can ensure that we are analyzing leadership
within a particular context, with the explicit understanding that a
leadership skill that is necessary in one may not be in another. This is less
significant in a different context (Shurden & Niles, 2017).
In light of this, scholars, philosophers, and psychologists have
identified a number of comparable qualities that characterize effective
leaders. Determinants of effective leadership in an organization include
the following: emotional intelligence, leadership objectives, the qualities of
a good leader, the differences between a boss and a leader, and the
advantages of good leadership. The results of several studies have shown
that emotional intelligence is a necessary leadership quality for someone
to be considered a competent leader. The capacity to regulate one's
behavior to effectively maintain and build daily interactions with people is
known as emotional intelligence. Leadership objectives match the
organization's beliefs, values, direction, and long-term survival strategy
with the decisions and activities of the leadership team (Muteswa, 2016).
Youth Leader's Socio-Demographic Influence
Women's characteristics come from inside. The most prevalent
personal qualities of female leaders are honesty, modesty, and
communication; their professional qualities include self-awareness,
empathy, and time management. These traits, which are closely linked to
both personal and professional well-being, are both natural and learned.
These traits which include modeling conduct, inspiring others to act,
and setting an example are greatly impacted by their dominant leadership
styles. Significant relationships were found between the attributes and the
following factors: age, educational attainment, academic standing, length
of time in a leadership position, and number of leadership development
courses completed by female leaders. That being said, if they possess
these strengths, they will probably be able to lead others effectively
(Entoma, 2016).
Additionally, young Filipinos are the main participants in the
nation's entrepreneurial endeavors, as indicated by the Bureau of Labor
and Employment Survey's statistics on youth employment. The Young in
Nation Building Act of 1994 (RA 8044) defines a youngster as any
individual between the ages of 15 and 30. Regrettably, young people also
have the greatest unemployment rate; 49 percent of jobless individuals
are between the ages of 15 and 24. The government suggests that the
best way to address the problem of youth unemployment is for young
people to launch their own companies. The young individuals who took
part in one or both of the entrepreneurial programs made an additional
3,000 and 2,000 pesos annually, respectively. However, only a tiny
proportion of youth engage in government-funded training and
educational programs, despite the encouraging outcomes that have been
observed. As a result, it's critical to help young people as they strive to
sustain their firms, monitor their progress, and encourage them to take
part in entrepreneurial efforts (Conchada et al., 2017).

METHODOLOGY
Research Locale
One of the towns in Davao del Sur, Philippines' Region XI, Bansalan,
was the site of the research. It took place in December of 2022. From
Davao City, it is around 72 kilometers south. About 12 kilometers to the
northwest of Digos, the provincial capital, is Bansalan. The towns that are
adjacent are Mount Apo and a portion of Digos, Makilala, Magsaysay, and
Matanao.
Figure 2. A map of Davao del Sur's Bansalan.
Respondents of the Study
Fifty youth leaders from Bansalan Davao del Sur were chosen by
the researcher. These leaders are involved in politics, churches, schools,
and youth groups. The participation criteria are as follows: (a) now
leading an organization or organizations; (b) born between 1989 and 2003;
(c) willing to take part in the study; and (d) residing in Bansalan, Davao
del Sur.
Research Design
Descriptive-correlational research design was adopted for study.
Correlations and patterns of relationships between the variables are
evaluated using correlational research methodologies. According to
Creswell (2015), researchers using the correlational research design
examine the quantity of correspondence (or association) in quantitative
research between two or more variables or score sets. The dependent and
independent variables made up the two variables used in this study. The
sociodemographic profile of young leaders serves as the first dependent
variable in this study, while the second dependent variable is their
leadership styles and competencies.
Sampling Design and Technique
Since the goal of this study was to determine the link between the
educational attainment of young leaders in Bansalan, Davao del Sur, and
their leadership qualities, fifty respondents were chosen using the full
enumeration sample approach.
Research Instrument
The major source of data used to determine the leadership abilities
of young leaders was a survey questionnaire that was modified from the
research "Leadership: Theory, Application, & Skill Development, Seventh
Edition" by Lussier & Achua (2022). It came in the form of a paper
survey questionnaire intended for in-person interviews.
Utilizing a five-point Likert scale with the options of extremely true,
somewhat true, occasionally true, seldom true, and not true, the
researcher evaluated and validated the respondents' replies.
The following ratings and scaling were applied to the means:

2. Acceptance of the research tool. After the letter is approved, the
respondent completes the questionnaire. The investigator provides the
participants with an orientation, explains the aim of the investigation, and
displays survey forms to each participant. The respondents provided their
evaluations.
3. Obtaining the survey back. The respondent's questionnaire was able
to reach the researcher. The gathered information was compiled, totaled,
and then statistically examined.
4. Examination of Information. The panel of members and critics was
given the results of the statistical analysis once the data were totaled.
5. Creating a draft of the research tool. In order to verify that the
researchers truly obtained the data from the study's researchers respondents,
a Certificate of Appearance was obtained from the relevant parties.
Following the questionnaires' successful recovery, the data were compiled
and tallied. The relevant statistical instruments were utilized to extract the
essential information for additional analysis and comprehension.
Statistical Tools
Using the following techniques, the data was analyzed:
1. Mean: To address subproblems 1 and 2, this was utilized to determine
the sociodemographic profile and leadership abilities of young
leaders.
2. Relative frequency: The number of times an event happens was
measured.
3. Pearson r: The considerable correlation between the educational
attainment and leadership qualities of young leaders was
ascertained.
CHAPTER IV
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Socio-demographic Profile of Youth Leaders in Bansalan,
Davao del Sur
Table 2 displays the respondents' sociodemographic profile, which
includes information on their age, gender, religion, employment, level of
education, and organizational type.
In Bansalan, Davao del Sur, a survey of fifty (50) young leaders in
the fields of politics, religion, education, and youth groups was conducted.
Table 2 indicates that 52% of the young leaders were female, and 48%
were male. This finding is consistent with research by Novotney (2023)
that found that women leaders had a good impact on productivity,
collaboration, organizational devotion, and fairness. According to Professor
Alice Eagly, PhD, " Compared to their male counterparts, women continue
to confront more obstacles to their success and authority in 2023," as she
addresses in her study. But in spite of these obstacles, women are
gradually gaining top positions in business, education, and politics.
Young Leaders ranged in age from 18 to 23 (46%), with some
being between the ages of 24 and 29 (54%). Vaughan-Johnson et al.'s
study from 2021 claims that older leaders differ from younger leaders in a
number of important ways. The age difference between a leader and a
follower may have a big impact on how they see and interact with one
other. Senior leaders were able to attain greater levels of objective
performance from their employees than were younger leaders. According
to the findings, youth leaders who were between the ages of 24 and 29
were most often thought to possess conceptual talents. The majority of
them, according to the study, were open to changing the organization and
took pleasure in talking about its ideology and principles.
Sixty-two percent of Youth Leaders identified as Roman Catholic,
twenty percent as Alliance, ten percent as other religious, and eight
percent as Baptist. Gumusay (2019) asserts that religions are substantial,
have varying characteristics, and are extensively practiced. Some
Christians who are leaders, followers, and coworkers in and among
organizations argue that it is essential to have a theological viewpoint on
leadership. Additionally, specific groups, organizations, traditions, or
habits may also mold leaders.
Regarding the profession of youth leaders, 48% of them are still in
school, 22% are working, 18% were self-employed, and 12% were not
employed.
The majority of Youth Leaders (48%) had bachelor's degrees,
followed by high school degrees (34%), elementary degrees (16%), and
just a small percentage (2%) had other degrees. Studies show that those
who have completed more education tend to think more favorably of the
qualities of leaders than people who have completed less education,
according to Budur and Demir (2019). An reason for this phenomena
might be that when employees' educational level rises, they tend to show
higher acceptance of their bosses. As a result, people with greater
educational backgrounds could rate their leaders more highly than those
with lesser educational backgrounds.
The information on the young leaders' organizations showed that,
of those who participated, 24 (or 48%) belonged to Sanggunian Kabataan, 9 (18%) to various organizations, 8 (16%) to youth for Christ,
6 (12%) to Kabataan Kontra Droga at Terrorismo, and 3 (6%) to youth
for peace.

Leadership Skills of Youth Leaders in Bansalan, Davao del Sur
Data reveals an total mean score of 4.00, indicating that youth leaders in Bansalan, Davao del Sur, generally view leadership qualities favorably.
It was shown that majority of the time, respondents thought youth leaders have intellectual, administrative, and interpersonal abilities. This suggested that a youth leader's leadership abilities are not much impacted by their level of schooling.

Coordination of Tasks
The administrative proficiency of youth leaders in Bansalan, Davao
del Sur, is displayed in Table 2.1. The respondents stated that they
generally enjoyed answering people's questions and concerns (4.02); that
they are efficient with the detailed aspects of the work (3.94); that they
find it easy to fill out forms and deal with details (3.92); that they
are efficient in obtaining resources to support various programs (3.92); that
they find it difficult to obtain and allocate resources (3.90); and that they
have strengths in managing people and resources (3.82).
The findings showed that young leaders enjoyed helping individuals
with their requests and issues while they were employed by the company.
Even though discovering and assigning resources might be difficult, they
are skilled at securing resources to support a variety of projects. They
find it simple to complete forms and deal with details, which makes them effective in the
more complex elements of the job.
The study's findings are consistent with those of Eliyana and Ma'arif
(2019), who found that leaders are those who significantly contribute to
the creation of a supportive and upbeat work atmosphere. There is a
wealth of research on the connection between leadership style and work
performance. Organizational commitment now has a big influence on work
performance as well. A manager who prioritizes overseeing, managing,
assigning, and coordinating each employee's performance will be able to
mold ideas of themselves as the people who can support and care for
their subordinates on an individual basis through charisma, motivation,
and inspiration.

Social and Communication Skills
The interpersonal skills of youth leaders in Bansalan, Davao del Sur, are
displayed in Table 3.2. One (1) of the six questions reveals that the
respondents almost universally viewed interpersonal skills as a
prerequisite for young leadership because, in their opinion, respecting the
other person is essential to resolving conflicts amicably (4.32).
However, five questions reveal that the respondents most
frequently saw themselves as youth leaders with interpersonal skills that
they felt were based on emotional undercurrents in the group, (4.16);
they worked hard to reach a consensus in conflict situations, (3.92); they
were able to sense the emotional undercurrents in the group, (3.90); they
believed that it was important to understand the social fabric of the
organization, (3.90); and they typically anticipated people's reactions to
new ideas or proposals, (3.84).
The study's findings indicate that the respondents can sense the
emotional undercurrents in the group, which is crucial for them to
comprehend since it aids in their understanding of the organization's
social structure and typically foretells people's responses to novel concepts
or suggestions. Furthermore, they believe that utilizing the group's
emotional undertones and showing respect for the other party are
essential elements of effective dispute resolution.
The research of Sato et al. (2019), which found that people with
high interpersonal skills may promote harmonic relationships, clear up
misconceptions, build trustworthy connections, and contribute successfully
to a team, also validated the study's assertion.

Mental Abilities
The conceptual competence level of the youth leaders in Bansalan,
Davao del Sur, is displayed in Table 3.3. The Youth Leaders responded to
one out of six (6) questions, and it was discovered that they are generally
adaptive when it comes to implementing changes inside the organization
(4.40).
The Youth Leaders responded to the remaining five (5) questions,
and it was discovered that they generally enjoyed talking about the
philosophy and values of the organization (4.16); that they have no
trouble seeing the big picture (4.14); that it is appealing for them to
create strategic plans for the organization (4.02); that they solve problems
as soon as they come up (3.92); and that they are good at solving
problems (3.90).
According to the findings, youth leaders indicated that they enjoyed
talking about the company's philosophy and values, that they were flexible
when making changes within the organization, that they were easy to see
the big picture, that they were interested in developing strategic plans for
the business, that they resolved problems fast, and that they showed
problem-solving abilities.This conclusion was related to Sutanto's (2021)
study, which found that conceptual abilities are the ability to think beyond
the present job at hand. Professional KRI officers are in charge of
organizing, equipping, and training this force in addition to planning and
supervising its activities both within and outside of battle. Professional
officers must be able to achieve this via utilizing analysis, intellectual
awareness, and analytical ability to examine the workplace.

Relationship between the Leadership Skills when Grouped According to Educational Attainment
The association between leadership abilities and educational
achievement was shown in Table 4. It was discovered that there is no
discernible relationship between educational achievement and leadership
abilities. It [unreadable] suggests that there is no relationship between the two
variables. The extremely low educational attainment of young leaders has
no bearing on their leadership abilities, indicating that the two are
unrelated and unimportant for fostering youth leaders' success in their
various organizations.
The study's findings are consistent with Allen's (2017) investigation,
which found no correlation between student leadership and experience,
superintendent leadership, or educational achievement. It also emphasizes
how challenging it is to quantify the superintendent impact when
concentrating just on student leadership that is direct.

CHAPTER V
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Summary
In order ascertain sociodemographic profile of the youth leaders
Bansalan, Davao del Sur, and evaluate level of leadership skills
coordination of tasks, social and communication skills, and mental abilities,
as well as to establish the relationship between leadership skills when
grouped according to educational attainment, this study set out to
examine the relationship between educational attainment and the
leadership skills of these leaders. 50 sources of data were acquired for the
study between March and April of 2023, utilizing a validated survey
questionnaire that was adapted from Lussier & Anchua (2022). The
respondents' demographic profile was covered in Part 1. Items in Part 2
were categorized into A, B, and C parts. Coordination of tasks are covered
in Section A, interpersonal skills in Section B, and conceptual abilities in
Section C. The variables' correlation was examined using Pearson's r,
frequency, mean, and percentage analysis of the data.
It has been found that just 48.00% of the respondents were men,
and 52.00% of the respondents were women. Of the youth leaders,
54.00% are between the ages of 24 and 29 and 46.00% are between the
ages of 18 and 23. Of them, 62.00 percent were Roman Catholics, and
48.00 percent were students. The majority of them are members of the
sanggunian kabataan organization (48.00%) and hold a bachelor's
degree (48.00%).
Nevertheless, the youth leaders of Bansalan, Davao del Sur, thought
that out of the three leadership skills, conceptual competence was the
best advanced. It was evident from the average mean score of 4.09 that
the majority of respondents considered this ability to be a trait of
leadership. On the other hand, it is believed that the respondents' social
and communication skills and coordination of tasks are fairly accurate. The
average rating for interpersonal skills is 4.00, but the average rating for
administrative talents is 3.92.
Ultimately, it was shown that there is no significant association,
meaning that leadership abilities and educational achievement are
unrelated.
CONCLUSION
The investigator came to the following conclusion based on the
investigation's findings and conclusions:
1. Men make up just 48% of the responders; women make up the vast
majority (52.0%). Of the 48.00 youth leaders, 54% are between the ages
of 24 and 29. Some are even younger, from 18 to 23. The bulk of them
(62.00) identified as Roman Catholic, and the majority of them (48.00)
were students pursuing bachelor's degrees at the time. In addition, most
of the individuals involved were in prominent roles within the Sanggunian
Kabataan Organization 48.00.
2. The findings showed that youth leaders generally evaluated their
leadership abilities in terms of conceptual skills (4.09), interpersonal skills
(4.00), and administrative skills (with a mean score of 3.92).
3. The educational attainment of respondents and their leadership
qualities do not significantly correlate.
Recommendations
The study's results and findings lead to the following suggestions being
made:
1.It is advised that local governments and youth organizations periodically
conduct orientation, training, and retraining programs for young leaders
with varying levels of education. This highlights the necessity for youth-
led organizations to preserve their organizational structure while also
requiring ongoing member and staff orientation, training, and retraining.
It is imperative to proactively seek out chances to
form alliances with
youth-led and youth-serving organizations.
2.Encouragement of local youth groups to provide more essential training
opportunities is advised, especially for recently elected young leaders who
have never received training. They will be able to better serve their
organizations and the larger community as a result.
3.Those in positions of leadership in local government who are especially
responsible for attending to the needs and issues of the young population
are known as municipal youth leaders. inside a certain municipality. Since
that the latter is the least developed of the three leadership skills, youth
groups, among other organizations, have the capacity to create a
comprehensive plan targeted at maintaining the leadership skills of young
leaders and improving the administrative skills of individuals.
4.Municipal young Leaders can work with other young leaders to create a
strategic plan that will improve leadership skills and raise respondents'
satisfaction with leadership. This might have a beneficial effect on their
development as community leaders in the future.
5.Since leadership abilities and educational achievement do not
significantly correlate, it is recommended that Municipal Youth Leadership
and other youth groups improve and develop their present approaches. In
the end, this will cultivate a wealth of future leaders, irrespective of their
educational background. As a result, the participants will feel more
steadfastly committed, which will boost production in their own local
communities.
