This study purposely sought to determine the predictors of effective leadership of the incumbent barangay chairmen of Indang, Cavite. Specifically, it aimed to determine the: (1) barangay chairmen's demographic profile in terms of age, gender, educational attainment and personal income; (2) barangay chairmen's emotional intelligence (EI) level with the use of its four subscales namely perception of emotion, managing one's emotion, managing other's emotion and utilizing of emotions; (3) barangay chairmen's decision-making style; (4) barangay chairmen's leadership effectiveness level; (5) relationship between demographic profile and effective leadership; relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) level and effective leadership; relationship between decision-making style and effective leadership; and (6) predictors of the leadership effectiveness of the incumbent barangay chairmen. Descriptive correlational design was utilized in the study with the use of Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test, Rational-Experiential Inventory and Leadership Scale Inventory as an instrument. The participants were 36 barangay chairmen together with their councilors, secretaries, treasurers and S.K Chairmen. Frequency counts, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson Product — Moment Correlation, Spearman rank Correlation coefficient and Multiple Regression Analysis were the statistical measures applied to analyze the data.
Results of the study revealed that: (1) most of the chairmen were categorized as older people. The respondents are dominated by males and high school graduates. Majority of their personal income ranges from Php 3,000 — Php 5,000; (2) the barangay chairmen managed to have a very high level in the four subscale making their overall level of emotional intelligence as very high; (3) majority of the barangay chairmen have an experiential decision making style; (4) the barangay chairmen were very effective in leading their respective barangays; (5) there was no significant relationship between the barangay chairmen's demographic profile and leadership effectiveness; there was no significant relationship with the overall emotional intelligence of the barangay chairmen and their leadership effectiveness. However, one of its subscale which is managing other's emotion was found out to be significantly related with leadership effectiveness; there was no significant relationship between the barangay chairmen's decision making style and leadership effectiveness; and (6) managing other's emotion can predict the leadership effectiveness of the incumbent barangay chairmen of Indang, Cavite. Because of the significant relationship between managing other's emotion and effective leadership, it is recommended that barangay chairmen develop their emotional intelligence to have a better understanding on how to manage and use their own emotions.
