Accountability Performance of Public Elementary School
Principals in the Division of Northern Samar, Philippines

Principal, Hibubullao Central School, Catubig, Northern Samar, Philippines
ABSTRACT
This study focused on the accountability performance of public elementary
school principals in the division of Northern Samar, Philippines based on the
“Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees”.
Study revealed that a majority of the principals were in the middleageoftheir
career but a substantial number of themwerealreadyneartheretirementage,
yet only few were young in age; women; enjoyed a maximum of nine (9)
relevant administrative trainings; have been in their present position for less
than a decade; and finished graduate school education. It was found out inthe
study that the principals have excellent accountabilityperformanceacrossthe
determinants, to wit: accountability to the people, responsibility, authority,
integrity, competence and loyalty,patriotismandjustice, simplicityoflifestyle,
and adherence to public interest. Among these determinants, it is only
“accountability to people” which surmounted to be with significantdifference
as regards assessment of the principals’ accountability performance. It can
also be gleaned from the study that the principals’ relevant trainings and
administrative experience had associations with their accountability
performance in the same way that patriotism and justice, and sex had
relationships with authority. All other attributed had no bearing with the
accountability performance of the principals.

1. INTRODUCTION
One of the lingering problems that have plagued the
Philippines is accountability and other forms of
particularistic behavior through the institutionalization of
more accountable governance. The Philippine education
system is not impervious to such call for public
accountability, transparency, effective management and/or
governance to provide quality education. To answer such
clamor, the Philippine Congress, enacted Republic Act 9155,
otherwise known as the governance of Basic Education Act
of 2001. Chapter 1, Sec. 5, Paragraphs a and c, of RA 9155
states that:
Principles of Shared Governance –
A. Shared governance is a principle which recognizes that
every unit in the education bureaucracy has a particular
role, task, and responsibility inherent in the office and
for which it is principally accountable for outcomes;
B. The principles of accountability and transparency shall
be operationalized in the performance of functions and
responsibilities at all levels:
The school principal is one of the most prominent educators
in the implementation of the educational programs and
thrusts. The position requires him/her to perform both
administrative and supervisoryfunctions.Theyare regarded
as the important individuals in the educational ladder. It is
on these stages of education endeavor that the leadership
behavior of principals reflect the trusts infestation of
leadership ability which is required of the position.
In the context of contemporary times,leadershipisa process
whereby one guides, directs, influences, or controls the
feelings, thoughts or behavior of the group. However,
leadership can also be learned. This view implies that
leadership behavior can be improved and is not fixed by
hereditary of childhood experience (Hagman, 1991).
The effectiveness of an organizationisenhanced whenevery
person knows to whom and for whom he is responsible.
Unless the lines of responsibility and authority are clearly
defined, chaos is inevitable (Hicks,1990).Thesurvival ofany
organization, or for that matter, the perpetuation of society
itself is contingent upon a continuous supplyofpersons who
are capable of wearing the mantle of administrative
leadership.
Educational institutions are human resource-intensive and
their successful operation depends largely upon the
coordination and orchestration of the energies, the abilities,
the powers and the drives of the people who worked for
such. Teachers are known to be hard-working and patient
people, but unless they are managed by effective
administrators their potentials cannot be harnessed to the
fullest.
Considering the vital role of the school heads play in the
school system, there is therefore a need to appraise the
capabilities and accountability of the officials running the
schools. The school system has school administrator in all

levels. Whether school administrators are effective leaders
or not, need to be looked into. Hence, this study was
conducted.
2. Objectives
The study endeavored to answer the hereunder objectives.
1. Determine the profile of the public elementary school
principals in terms of:
A. sex;
B. age;
C. in-service trainings attended in relation to
administrative functions;
D. length of administrative experience; and
E. educational attainment.
2. Identify the level ofaccountabilityperformanceofpublic
elementary school principals based on the Code of
Conduct and Ethical Standards of Public Officials and
Employees as appraised by themselves and by their
subordinates on the following determinants:
A. accountability to the people;
B. responsibility;
C. authority;
D. integrity;
E. competence and loyalty;
F. patriotism and justice;
G. simplicity of lifestyle; and
H. Adherence to public interest.
3. Find out the significant difference between the
assessment of the school principals and the teachers in
the principals’ accountability performance.
4. Ascertain the relationship between the profile of the
principals and their accountability performance.
3. Review of Literature
Public accountability is the hallmark of modern democratic
governance. Democracy remains a paper procedure if those
in power cannot be held accountable in public for their acts
and omissions, for their decisions, their policies, and their
expenditures. Public accountability, as an institution,
therefore, is the complement ofpublicmanagement(Bovens,
2005). As a concept however, public accountability is rather
elusive. It is a hurrah-word, like learning, responsibility, or
solidarity – nobody can be against it. It is one of those
evocative political words that can be used to patch up a
rambling argument, to evoke an image of trustworthiness,
fidelity, and justice, or to hold critics at bay.
Nowadays, accountability has moved far beyond its
bookkeeping origins and has become a symbol for good
governance, both in the public and in the private sector.
Moreover,theaccountingrelationshiphasalmostcompletely
reversed. ‘Accountability’ does not refer to sovereigns
holding their subjects to account, but to the reverse, it is the
authorities themselves who are being held accountable by
their citizens (Bovens, 2005).
Public accountability is not just the hallmark of democratic
governance, it is also a sine qua non for democratic
governance. Modern representative democracy can be
analyzed as a series of principal-agent relations (Strom,
2000). The first and foremost function of public
accountability, as an institutional arrangement, therefore, is
democratic control (Przeworksi, Stokes, & Manin, 2009).
Secondly, it functions to enhance the integrity of public
governance (Rose-Ackerman, 1999). Third, it functions to
improve performance (Aucoin & Heintzman, 2000).
Together, these three (3) functions provide the fourth
function, to maintain or enhance the legitimacy of public
governance (Aucoin & Heintzman, 2000).
4. Methodology
This descriptive-evaluative-correlational research included
as respondents of the study were the selected public
elementary school principals in the division of Northern
Samar, Philippines with their teachers to validate their
responses on their accountability performance.
The included principals were those whowereintheplantilla
position and have been assigned in their present station for
at least two (2) years, not counting 2010-2011. Likewise,
only those teachers who have been with suchprincipal forat
least two (2) years were included as part of the respondents
of this study.
A questionnaire was employed to gather data from the
respondents.

Table 1 presents the frequency distribution of the profile of the respondents in terms of sex, age, in-service trainingsattended
in relation to administrative functions, length of administrative experience, and educational attainment.
On age, majority of the elementary school principals’ ages ranged from 40 to 49 years old. This indicates that majority of them
were at the middle ages of their career. This was confirmed by Calloin, in his study that a majority of his respondents were of
middle age. This exhibits that the school principals are mature enough to administer and decide rationally on issues or
problems confronting by the school. Robbins confirmed that older workers had the positive qualities such as experience,
judgment, strong work ethics, and commitment to quality. It was also validated by Gilbert that younger supervisors are more
involved in relationship-building activities, while older supervisors tend to be more prescriptive in their management style.
Clay also authenticated that functional age, as distinct from actual age must be considered in managerial decisions.
On sex, 40% were male and 60% were female.
On number of in-service trainings attended in relation to administrative functions, although 46% had five (5) to nine (9)
numbers of relevant trainings attended, more than 30% of the public elementary school principalsinNorthernSamarhadfew
of them, thus, there is a need for more exposures to trainings and seminars to further enhance their leadership capabilities.
As to the length of administrative experience, majority, 39% rendered from six (6) to nine(9)yearsandanother31%haditfor
about two (2) to five (5) years. Hence, majority of the publicelementaryschool principalsinNorthernSamarwerestill youngin
the service.
In terms of educational attainment, 37% were MA degree holders, 27% had MA units, and only seven (7) percent were PhD
graduates. This means that public elementary school principals, although not all finished their respective degree programs,
have pursued or still pursuing graduate education to boost and enhance their administrative prowess.

As could be gleaned from Table 2, the appraisal of both the principals and the teachers on the accountability performance of
public elementary school principals based on the Conduct and Ethical Standards of Public Officials and Employees had a
respective mean of 4.55 which are all interpreted as “outstanding”alongthedeterminantofaccountabilitytothepeople.Thisis
followed by an average mean of 4.50 for responsibility and integrity; 4.46 for authority; 4.40 for both patriotism and justice,
and adherence to public interest; and the least is 4.38 for both competence and loyalty, and adherence to public interest.
However, while the principals exhibit simplicity oflifestyle,theteachersrevealedthat theprincipalsarelowincompetenceand

Table 3 presents the summary of the significance difference of the assessment of the principals themselves and their teachers
on the principals’ accountability performance.
The table could be explained in a way that the significance of t-stat (or the computed t) in terms of t-critical (or the tabular
value) could easily be determined through the P-value such that when the P-value isequal tolessthan0.05,thenull hypothesis
of no difference is rejected. On the other hand, when the P-value is greater than 0.05, the null hypothesis of has to be accepted.
The mean column indicates the type of respondents that has higher assessment on the factors under study.
Thus, as shown in the table, there was a significant difference in the assessment of the principals’ accountability performance
only with respect to “accountability to the people” with t-stat of 1.99 and P=0.05. The mean of the principals is 4.59 and the
teachers’ mean was 4.51. All other assessments had no significant difference precisely because their respective P-valueswere
all above .05 level of significance.
This points out that the principals appraised their performance as higher than the teachers in “accountability to the people”,
while on other determinants of accountability performance, the respondents appraised them alike oranalogoustoeachother.
This further connotes that while teachers see their principals as having rendered services for the good of the public and made
decisions based on their best judgment, they and their principals had the same level of appraisal as far as rendering public
service with varying responsibilities; showing uprightness, honesty and sincerity in service for the public; possessing the
needed skills needed in performing office functions and faithfulness in the job; manifesting appreciation and pride of the
Filipino culture, heritage, and respect to laws; leads a modest life appropriate to their positions and incomes; and avoiding
vested interest in all dealings and commitments as well as deciding in favor of the majority.

Table 4 verifies the existence of relationship between the
profile of the respondent-principals and theiraccountability
performance. As could be found out in the table, relevant
trainings with t-stat and P-value of 2.15 and 0.03,
respectively and administrative experience of t-state and p-
value of -2.44 and 0.02, respectively were the onlyaspectsof
profile of the principals having relationship with their
performance as far as accountability to the people is
concerned. All other aspects of the profile had no bearing to
the issue. But in terms of the whole relationship, the F-value
of 2.32 with 0.05 significance at df (5,94), the profile of the
respondent principals could significantly influence their
performance as the accountability to the people by about
11%. This means that the more relevant trainings attended
and the longer time the principal was in his/herposition,the
more s/he felt the need to perform better as s/he is more
accountable to the people.
In terms of responsibility, all the factors under the profile
were not in any way related to the principals’ performance
that relate to responsibility sinceall theP-valuesofanyt-stat
is less than .05. This is further confirmed by the F-value of
0.62 which is greater than the significance of F=0.58. This
finding further substantiated r²=0.11 indicating that the
profile could affect the responsibility performance of the
principals only by just 3%. This proves that there is no way
for which profile could influence the responsibility
performance of the principals.
The same table shows that “authority” as a determinant of
accountability performancehadsignificantrelationshipwith
respondents’ profile only as far as sex (t-stat= -2.40 and P-
value=0.02), relevant trainings (t-stat= 2.56, P-value=0.01),
and length of administrative experience (t-stat= -2.74, P-
value=0.01) are concerned. Age and educational attainment
had no bearing to the issue in view of their having P-value
which are more than .05. However, with the F-value=2.25,
significant F=0.03 at df (5,94), the whole profile had a
relationship with determinant “authority” of about 12% as
revealed by its r²=0.12. This presents the sex, relevant
trainings and length of administrative experience of
elementary school principals had bearings as to performing
functions related to authority.
Integrity as a determinant of accountability performance
was significantly connected with the profile oftheprincipals
in terms of relevant trainings (t-stat=3.19, P-value=0.00),
and length of administrative experience (t-stat= -3.88, P-
value=0.00). Sex, age, and educational attainment have P-
values greater than 0.05. Thus, they were not significantly
related to “integrity” as a determinant of accountability
performance of the concerned principals. But, with the F-
value=3.88 and significant F=0.00 at df (5,94), profile of the
respondent-principals had an effect on “integrity” by about
17% as shown by its r²=0.17. This means that as the
elementary principals attended more trainings and
conferences relative to their functions, and as their length of
administrative experience increase, there is higher
possibility that they could perform better along their
functions having effect on integrity.
Competence and loyalty were significantly related to profile
only as far as relevant trainings (t-stat=2.83, P-value=0.01),
and length of administrative experience (t-stat= -2.43, P-
value=0.02) are concerned. All other aspects of the profile
such as sex, age, and educational attainment had no
connection with the performanceofthe principalsrelativeto
competence and loyalty. But, as a whole, profile had no
influence on the competence and loyalty of the principals in
view of significant F=0.08 which is greater than 0.05 at df
(5,94). In fact, the r² would reveal that the whole profile has
relevance to competence and loyalty by about 10%. This
finding discloses that as the principals attended more
relevant trainings, as they acquired more administrative
experience, their competence and loyalty to service and
country became higher.
Relative to patriotism and justice, sex (t-stat= -2.13, P-
value=0.04), relevant trainings (t-stat=2.89, P-value=0.00),
and length if administrative experience (t-stat = -2.90, P-

value=0.00) were the only aspects of profile having an
impact in the performance of patriotism and justice by the
principals. Age and educational attainmentwhoserespective
P-values were greater than0.05acceptedthenull hypothesis
of no relationship between the involved variables.However,
with the F-value=2.69 and significant F=0.03atdf(5,94),itis
safe to conclude that the whole profile significantly
influenced patriotism and loyalty of the principal by about
13% as shown by its r² value. This demonstrates that either
the male or the female principal could carry out patriotism
and justice better as s/he attends more relevant trainings,
seminars, conferences, and increase more his/her
administrative experience.
Relevant training (t-stat=2.94, P-value=0.00) and length of
administrative experience(t-stat=-3.38,P-value=0.00)were
the only aspects of profile of the principals that were
significantly related to simplicity of style performed by the
respondent-principals. Other aspects of the profile have to
accept the null hypothesis of no relationship with simplicity
of lifestyle since their respective P-value was greater than
0.05. However, as a whole, the F-value of 3.08andsignificant
F of 0.01 at df (5,94) discloses that the profile of the
principals could influence performance on “simplicity of
lifestyle” by about 14% as shown by r²=0.14. This indicates
that so long as the principals continue to attend relevant
trainings and more exposed to administrative jobs, the
carrying out of their functions relative to simplicity in
lifestyle will keep on increasing better.
Finally, relevant trainings and length of administrative
experience were the only aspects of the profile of the
respondents having bearing on the performance of the
principals relative to adherence to public interest as shown
by t-stat 2.81 and -1.97 respectively, and P-value of 0.01 and
0.05, respectively. On the other hand, the F-value=1.78 and
significant F=0.12 at df (5,94) confirms the non-significant
relationship between adherence to public interest and the
whole profile of the respondents since the r² provesthatone
affects the other by 9%. This signifies that with the good
number of relevant trainings attended and longer
administrative experience could in a little way induce
performance of the principals with respect to their
adherence to public interest.
6. Conclusions
Majority of the public elementary school principals in
Northern Samar are in the middle age of their careers but a
substantial number of them are already near the retirement
age, yet only few are young in age; women; attended a
maximum of nine (9) relevant administrative trainings; in
their position for less than a decade; and finished graduate
school education.
They have excellent accountability performance across
determinants, i.e.accountabilitytothepeople, responsibility,
authority, integrity, competence and loyalty, patriotism and
justice, simplicity and lifestyle, and adherence to public
interest.
There is a significant difference in the assessment of the
principals’ accountability performance only with respect to
“accountability to the people”. But they have comparable
assessment as to attributes of responsibility, authority,
integrity, competence and loyalty, patriotism and justice,
simplicity of lifestyle, and adherence to public interest.
Relevant trainings and administrative experiences are
associated withtheiraccountabilityperformanceinthesame
way that patriotism and justice, sex has relationships with
authority. All other attributes have no bearing on the
accountability performance of the principals.
7. Recommendations
Based on the findings of the study, the following
recommendations are offered:
1. Public elementary school principals should be required
to pursue adequate relevant trainings.
2. Appoint and train more educationally qualified young
male principals, and be exposed to a more intense
school accountability by way of adapting a fitting test
and selection process such as personality test,
psychological test, aptitude test, and the like.
3. The education agency through the division level must
endeavor for the advancement of accountability
performed by the principals such as providing them
regular administrative trainings, seminars and
workshops; persuading them to properly observe the
Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers; maintaining
personal contact with his staff, teachers, parents, and

Study revealed that a majority of the principals were in the middleageoftheir career but a substantial number of themwerealreadyneartheretirementage, yet only few were young in age; women; enjoyed a maximum of nine (9) relevant administrative trainings; have been in their present position for less than a decade; and finished graduate school education. It was found out inthe study that the principals have excellent accountabilityperformanceacrossthe determinants, to wit: accountability to the people, responsibility, authority, integrity, competence and loyalty,patriotismandjustice, simplicityoflifestyle, and adherence to public interest. Among these determinants, it is only “accountability to people” which surmounted to be with significantdifference as regards assessment of the principals’ accountability performance. It can also be gleaned from the study that the principals’ relevant trainings and administrative experience had associations with their accountability performance in the same way that patriotism and justice, and sex had relationships with authority. All other attributed had no bearing with the accountability performance of the principals. KEYWORD: accountability, public elementary school principal, Northern Samar How to cite this paper: Marlon P. de Asis "Accountability Performance of Public Elementary School Principals in the Division of Northern Samar, Philippines" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development(ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-1, December 2020, pp.771-777, URL: www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd38090.pdf Copyright © 2020 by author(s) and International Journal ofTrendinScientific Research and Development Journal.

INTRODUCTION One of the lingering problems that have plagued the Philippines is accountability and other forms of particularistic behavior through the institutionalization of more accountable governance. The Philippine education system is not impervious to such call for public accountability, transparency, effective management and/or governance to provide quality education. To answer such clamor, the Philippine Congress, enacted Republic Act 9155, otherwise known as the governance of Basic Education Act of 2001. Chapter 1, Sec. 5, Paragraphs a and c, of RA 9155 states that: Principles of Shared Governance – A. Shared governance is a principle which recognizes that every unit in the education bureaucracy has a particular role, task, and responsibility inherent in the office and for which it is principally accountable for outcomes; B. The principles of accountability and transparency shall be operationalized in the performance of functions and responsibilities at all levels: The school principal is one of the most prominent educators in the implementation of the educational programs and thrusts. The position requires him/her to perform both administrative and supervisoryfunctions.Theyare regarded as the important individuals in the educational ladder. It is on these stages of education endeavor that the leadership behavior of principals reflect the trusts infestation of leadership ability which is required of the position. In the context of contemporary times,leadershipisa process whereby one guides, directs, influences, or controls the feelings, thoughts or behavior of the group. However, leadership can also be learned. This view implies that leadership behavior can be improved and is not fixed by hereditary of childhood experience (Hagman, 1991). The effectiveness of an organizationisenhanced whenevery person knows to whom and for whom he is responsible. Unless the lines of responsibility and authority are clearly defined, chaos is inevitable (Hicks,1990).Thesurvival ofany organization, or for that matter, the perpetuation of society itself is contingent upon a continuous supplyofpersons who are capable of wearing the mantle of administrative leadership. Educational institutions are human resource-intensive and their successful operation depends largely upon the coordination and orchestration of the energies, the abilities, the powers and the drives of the people who worked for such. Teachers are known to be hard-working and patient people, but unless they are managed by effective administrators their potentials cannot be harnessed to the fullest. Considering the vital role of the school heads play in the school system, there is therefore a need to appraise the capabilities and accountability of the officials running the schools. The school system has school administrator in all IJTSRD38090

Whether school administrators are effective leaders or not, need to be looked into. Hence, this study was conducted. 2. Objectives The study endeavored to answer the hereunder objectives. 1. Determine the profile of the public elementary school principals in terms of: A. sex; B. age; C. in-service trainings attended in relation to administrative functions; D. length of administrative experience; and E. educational attainment. 2. Identify the level ofaccountabilityperformanceofpublic elementary school principals based on the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards of Public Officials and Employees as appraised by themselves and by their subordinates on the following determinants: A. accountability to the people; B. responsibility; C. authority; D. integrity; E. competence and loyalty; F. patriotism and justice; G. simplicity of lifestyle; and H. Adherence to public interest. 3. Find out the significant difference between the assessment of the school principals and the teachers in the principals’ accountability performance. 4. Ascertain the relationship between the profile of the principals and their accountability performance. 3. Review of Literature Public accountability is the hallmark of modern democratic governance. Democracy remains a paper procedure if those in power cannot be held accountable in public for their acts and omissions, for their decisions, their policies, and their expenditures. Public accountability, as an institution, therefore, is the complement ofpublicmanagement(Bovens, 2005). As a concept however, public accountability is rather elusive. It is a hurrah-word, like learning, responsibility, or solidarity – nobody can be against it. It is one of those evocative political words that can be used to patch up a rambling argument, to evoke an image of trustworthiness, fidelity, and justice, or to hold critics at bay. Nowadays, accountability has moved far beyond its bookkeeping origins and has become a symbol for good governance, both in the public and in the private sector. Moreover,theaccountingrelationshiphasalmostcompletely reversed. ‘Accountability’ does not refer to sovereigns holding their subjects to account, but to the reverse, it is the authorities themselves who are being held accountable by their citizens (Bovens, 2005). Public accountability is not just the hallmark of democratic governance, it is also a sine qua non for democratic governance. Modern representative democracy can be analyzed as a series of principal-agent relations (Strom, 2000). The first and foremost function of public accountability, as an institutional arrangement, therefore, is democratic control (Przeworksi, Stokes, & Manin, 2009). Secondly, it functions to enhance the integrity of public governance (Rose-Ackerman, 1999). Third, it functions to improve performance (Aucoin & Heintzman, 2000). Together, these three (3) functions provide the fourth function, to maintain or enhance the legitimacy of public governance (Aucoin & Heintzman, 2000). 4. Methodology This descriptive-evaluative-correlational research included as respondents of the study were the selected public elementary school principals in the division of Northern Samar, Philippines with their teachers to validate their responses on their accountability performance. The included principals were those whowereintheplantilla position and have been assigned in their present station for at least two (2) years, not counting 2010-2011. Likewise, only those teachers who have been with suchprincipal forat least two (2) years were included as part of the respondents of this study. A questionnaire was employed to gather data from the respondents. 5.

On age, majority of the elementary school principals’ ages ranged from 40 to 49 years old. This indicates that majority of them were at the middle ages of their career. This was confirmed by Calloin, in his study that a majority of his respondents were of middle age. This exhibits that the school principals are mature enough to administer and decide rationally on issues or problems confronting by the school. Robbins confirmed that older workers had the positive qualities such as experience, judgment, strong work ethics, and commitment to quality. It was also validated by Gilbert that younger supervisors are more involved in relationship-building activities, while older supervisors tend to be more prescriptive in their management style. Clay also authenticated that functional age, as distinct from actual age must be considered in managerial decisions. On sex, 40% were male and 60% were female. On number of in-service trainings attended in relation to administrative functions, although 46% had five (5) to nine (9) numbers of relevant trainings attended, more than 30% of the public elementary school principalsinNorthernSamarhadfew of them, thus, there is a need for more exposures to trainings and seminars to further enhance their leadership capabilities. As to the length of administrative experience, majority, 39% rendered from six (6) to nine(9)yearsandanother31%haditfor about two (2) to five (5) years. Hence, majority of the publicelementaryschool principalsinNorthernSamarwerestill youngin the service. In terms of educational attainment, 37% were MA degree holders, 27% had MA units, and only seven (7) percent were PhD graduates. This means that public elementary school principals, although not all finished their respective degree programs, have pursued or still pursuing graduate education to boost and enhance their administrative prowess.

The table could be explained in a way that the significance of t-stat (or the computed t) in terms of t-critical (or the tabular value) could easily be determined through the P-value such that when the P-value isequal tolessthan0.05,thenull hypothesis of no difference is rejected. On the other hand, when the P-value is greater than 0.05, the null hypothesis of has to be accepted. The mean column indicates the type of respondents that has higher assessment on the factors under study. Thus, as shown in the table, there was a significant difference in the assessment of the principals’ accountability performance only with respect to “accountability to the people” with t-stat of 1.99 and P=0.05. The mean of the principals is 4.59 and the teachers’ mean was 4.51. All other assessments had no significant difference precisely because their respective P-valueswere all above .05 level of significance. This points out that the principals appraised their performance as higher than the teachers in “accountability to the people”, while on other determinants of accountability performance, the respondents appraised them alike oranalogoustoeachother. This further connotes that while teachers see their principals as having rendered services for the good of the public and made decisions based on their best judgment, they and their principals had the same level of appraisal as far as rendering public service with varying responsibilities; showing uprightness, honesty and sincerity in service for the public; possessing the needed skills needed in performing office functions and faithfulness in the job; manifesting appreciation and pride of the Filipino culture, heritage, and respect to laws; leads a modest life appropriate to their positions and incomes; and avoiding vested interest in all dealings and commitments as well as deciding in favor of the majority.

As could be found out in the table, relevant trainings with t-stat and P-value of 2.15 and 0.03, respectively and administrative experience of t-state and p- value of -2.44 and 0.02, respectively were the onlyaspectsof profile of the principals having relationship with their performance as far as accountability to the people is concerned. All other aspects of the profile had no bearing to the issue. But in terms of the whole relationship, the F-value of 2.32 with 0.05 significance at df (5,94), the profile of the respondent principals could significantly influence their performance as the accountability to the people by about 11%. This means that the more relevant trainings attended and the longer time the principal was in his/herposition,the more s/he felt the need to perform better as s/he is more accountable to the people. In terms of responsibility, all the factors under the profile were not in any way related to the principals’ performance that relate to responsibility sinceall theP-valuesofanyt-stat is less than .05. This is further confirmed by the F-value of 0.62 which is greater than the significance of F=0.58. This finding further substantiated r²=0.11 indicating that the profile could affect the responsibility performance of the principals only by just 3%. This proves that there is no way for which profile could influence the responsibility performance of the principals. The same table shows that “authority” as a determinant of accountability performancehadsignificantrelationshipwith respondents’ profile only as far as sex (t-stat= -2.40 and P- value=0.02), relevant trainings (t-stat= 2.56, P-value=0.01), and length of administrative experience (t-stat= -2.74, P- value=0.01) are concerned. Age and educational attainment had no bearing to the issue in view of their having P-value which are more than .05. However, with the F-value=2.25, significant F=0.03 at df (5,94), the whole profile had a relationship with determinant “authority” of about 12% as revealed by its r²=0.12. This presents the sex, relevant trainings and length of administrative experience of elementary school principals had bearings as to performing functions related to authority. Integrity as a determinant of accountability performance was significantly connected with the profile oftheprincipals in terms of relevant trainings (t-stat=3.19, P-value=0.00), and length of administrative experience (t-stat= -3.88, P- value=0.00). Sex, age, and educational attainment have P- values greater than 0.05. Thus, they were not significantly related to “integrity” as a determinant of accountability performance of the concerned principals. But, with the F- value=3.88 and significant F=0.00 at df (5,94), profile of the respondent-principals had an effect on “integrity” by about 17% as shown by its r²=0.17. This means that as the elementary principals attended more trainings and conferences relative to their functions, and as their length of administrative experience increase, there is higher possibility that they could perform better along their functions having effect on integrity. Competence and loyalty were significantly related to profile only as far as relevant trainings (t-stat=2.83, P-value=0.01), and length of administrative experience (t-stat= -2.43, P- value=0.02) are concerned. All other aspects of the profile such as sex, age, and educational attainment had no connection with the performanceofthe principalsrelativeto competence and loyalty. But, as a whole, profile had no influence on the competence and loyalty of the principals in view of significant F=0.08 which is greater than 0.05 at df (5,94). In fact, the r² would reveal that the whole profile has relevance to competence and loyalty by about 10%. This finding discloses that as the principals attended more relevant trainings, as they acquired more administrative experience, their competence and loyalty to service and country became higher. Relative to patriotism and justice, sex (t-stat= -2.13, P- value=0.04), relevant trainings (t-stat=2.89, P-value=0.00), and length if administrative experience (t-stat = -2.90, P-

Age and educational attainmentwhoserespective P-values were greater than0.05acceptedthenull hypothesis of no relationship between the involved variables.However, with the F-value=2.69 and significant F=0.03atdf(5,94),itis safe to conclude that the whole profile significantly influenced patriotism and loyalty of the principal by about 13% as shown by its r² value. This demonstrates that either the male or the female principal could carry out patriotism and justice better as s/he attends more relevant trainings, seminars, conferences, and increase more his/her administrative experience. Relevant training (t-stat=2.94, P-value=0.00) and length of administrative experience(t-stat=-3.38,P-value=0.00)were the only aspects of profile of the principals that were significantly related to simplicity of style performed by the respondent-principals. Other aspects of the profile have to accept the null hypothesis of no relationship with simplicity of lifestyle since their respective P-value was greater than 0.05. However, as a whole, the F-value of 3.08andsignificant F of 0.01 at df (5,94) discloses that the profile of the principals could influence performance on “simplicity of lifestyle” by about 14% as shown by r²=0.14. This indicates that so long as the principals continue to attend relevant trainings and more exposed to administrative jobs, the carrying out of their functions relative to simplicity in lifestyle will keep on increasing better. Finally, relevant trainings and length of administrative experience were the only aspects of the profile of the respondents having bearing on the performance of the principals relative to adherence to public interest as shown by t-stat 2.81 and -1.97 respectively, and P-value of 0.01 and 0.05, respectively. On the other hand, the F-value=1.78 and significant F=0.12 at df (5,94) confirms the non-significant relationship between adherence to public interest and the whole profile of the respondents since the r² provesthatone affects the other by 9%. This signifies that with the good number of relevant trainings attended and longer administrative experience could in a little way induce performance of the principals with respect to their adherence to public interest. 6. Conclusions Majority of the public elementary school principals in Northern Samar are in the middle age of their careers but a substantial number of them are already near the retirement age, yet only few are young in age; women; attended a maximum of nine (9) relevant administrative trainings; in their position for less than a decade; and finished graduate school education. They have excellent accountability performance across determinants, i.e.accountabilitytothepeople, responsibility, authority, integrity, competence and loyalty, patriotism and justice, simplicity and lifestyle, and adherence to public interest. There is a significant difference in the assessment of the principals’ accountability performance only with respect to “accountability to the people”. But they have comparable assessment as to attributes of responsibility, authority, integrity, competence and loyalty, patriotism and justice, simplicity of lifestyle, and adherence to public interest. Relevant trainings and administrative experiences are associated withtheiraccountabilityperformanceinthesame way that patriotism and justice, sex has relationships with authority. All other attributes have no bearing on the accountability performance of the principals. 7. Recommendations Based on the findings of the study, the following recommendations are offered: 1. Public elementary school principals should be required to pursue adequate relevant trainings. 2. Appoint and train more educationally qualified young male principals, and be exposed to a more intense school accountability by way of adapting a fitting test and selection process such as personality test, psychological test, aptitude test, and the like. 3. The education agency through the division level must endeavor for the advancement of accountability performed by the principals such as providing them regular administrative trainings, seminars and workshops; persuading them to properly observe the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers; maintaining personal contact with his staff, teachers, parents, and community; and opening to suggestions for the improvement of teaching-learning process. 4. School officials, from top to bottom, must practice patriotism and justice, integrity, simplicity of lifestyle, and adherence to public interest in the exercise of their authority and responsibility.
