Rationale
The most challenging part of Educational administration is about teachers’
self-efficacy. Teachers, as perceived and as expected, are trained to teach with
competence and effect changes and improvements in the learners’ personal and
academic life (Liquido & Mendez, 2018). Bandura defined self-efficacy as the
belief about one's capabilities to organize and execute a certain task (Bandura,
1997). Despite these golden crowns of teachers in the field, principals struggled
to encourage the teacher to do their task.
Teacher’s self-efficacy
Teacher self-efficacy is a construct that was developed within the context
of Bandura’s social cognitive theory. Bandura defined self-efficacy as the belief
about one's capabilities to organize and execute a certain task (Bandura, 1997).
Self-efficacy beliefs influence thought patterns and emotions, which enable or
inhibit actions.

Technology Leadership and Teacher’s self-efficacy
In the study of Farah (2012), several factors influenced teachers 'technology self-
efficacy, including personal, behavioral, and environmental factors. Common
themes emerged that indicates more can be done to foster increased technology
self-efficacy in teachers, which may enhance students 'learning experiences. The
research of Tweed (2013), it reveals that teacherage, years of teaching
experience, teacher gender, and the hours a teacher spent in technology
professional development did not play a significant role in the self-efficacy by
teachers.

In the study of Melton (2015), he found a positive relationship between
principal self-efficacy and technology. Such relationships were significant for both
males and females. Additionally, when looked at together with self-efficacy, total
years employed as public school principals had a negative relationship with self-
efficacy; total years in education, yielded a positive relationship (Melton,2015).

Instructional Leadership and Teacher’s self-efficacy
According to Pearce (2017) principal’s perceived visibility to be the single
most influential practice of instructional leadership while teachers believed that
principals in support of differentiated instruction were more influential to teacher
efficacy. Principal’s visibility impacts teacher efficacy most while teachers thought
that principals advocating differentiated instruction effectively impacted teacher
efficacy.

Transformational Leadership and Teacher’s self-efficacy
In the study of Rutledge (2010) theorized that transformational leadership and
academic optimism would be positively correlated. Results of correlation testing
indicated that Leithwood’s model of transformational leadership is positively
related to the academic optimism of the school. The results of linear regression
testing showed that each category of Leithwood’s model of transformational
leadership was also positively related to academic optimism.
Also, the study of Nelson (2012) examines the relationship between the six
transformational leadership dimensions and each of the three teachers' sense of
efficacy factors. All correlations indicated a statistical significance but reported
weak relationships between the variables.

Significance of the Study
This section presents the direct persons that may utilize the worth of this
study. These are the following:
The Academe
The result of this study will give shed to what leadership style best fit to
teachers’ self-efficacy in term of student engagement, instructional strategies,
and classroom management.

The Department of Education
The study will give light to the best leadership style that may influence
teacher’s self-efficacy specifically contributes to the field of leadership and
administration.
The School heads
The school heads will have a better understanding of what best leadership
style that can suit to different type of teachers.

The Teachers
The teachers will have an idea of what factors can best affect their classroom
management, instructional strategies and student engagement. This study helps
them to become the best facilitator of learning inside the classroom environment.
The Students
When teachers become aware in their teaching efficacy through the feed of
school principal, they become effective teacher inside the classroom. Sheppard
(1996) made it clear in his study that communication of school goals by the
principal has a significant positive relationship with teacher classroom
innovativeness, which can contribute to school improvement.

Data Collection
Proper protocol will be followed by the researcher like writing a letter of
permission to the schools' division superintendent, to the school principals and
district supervisors informing their consent to allow their teacher to become part
of this study. The contextualized research instrument will undergo pilot testing for
a district not covered in the actual study. To establish the reliability of the
questionnaire, the confirmatory analysis test, and Cronbach alpha will be utilized
by the researcher.

Statistical Tools
To analyze the data of this study the following tools will be used.
Mean. This will be used to measure the level of teacher's self-efficacy, level of
Principal’s Technology Leadership, level of Principal’s instructional leadership,
and level of Principal’s Transformational Leadership.
Pearson Product Moment Correlation. This will be utilized to determine the
interrelationships between teacher's self-efficacy, Principal’s Technology
Leadership, Principal’s Instructional Leadership, and Principal’s
Transformational Leadership
Multiple Linear Regression. This is a statistical tool in which a mathematical
model is developed in an attempt to predict a dependent variable by two or more
independent variables or in which at least one predictor is non-linear (Guhao,
2018). It was used to determine the significance of the influence of the three
independent variables on the dependent variable.
Structural Equation Modeling (Maximum Likelihood). This multivariate
technique which combines the aspects of multiple regression (examining
dependence relationships) and factor analysis was utilized to estimate a series of
interrelated dependence relationships simultaneously (Hair et. al, 2010).
