Moreover, leadership out come with its three dimensions—effectiveness, satisfaction and extra effort—was measured through the perceptions of both principals and teachers.

A total of five (5) principals (100%) and one hundred twenty eight (128) teachers (89.51%) returned usable surveys. All data were aggregated to the school level using the means completed surveys items. The current level of trust, school climate data and leadership outcome data were then statistically analyzed using the non-parametric statistical analysis.
