Factors Affecting The Leadership Performance Of The Missionary Baptist Ministers In Davao City, Philippines
This is a descriptive-correlation study to describe the organizational profile, the minister's profile, the extent of leadership styles and the level of leadership performance of the Missionary Baptist Ministers in Davao City. The study was conducted to the eleven Missionary Baptist Churches and ministers in Davao City. There were ten members involved in each church as the respondents of this study and a total of hundred ten (110) from all of the eleven churches. Using survey questionnaire and descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution, weighted mean and inferential statistics, particularly, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient or Pearson r. Findings showed that many Missionary Baptist Churches exist between eleven (11) to twenty-five (25) years. Almost all of their ministers are graduates of theology degree and it appeared that in leadership, they are more on servant model and member care. Further revealed that a church with longer years of existence has lower perceived leadership performance of the minister and a church with more number of members and annual budget has better perceived leadership performance. It also showed that the higher the educational attainment of the minister the better is the perceived leadership performance from the members; however, the older the age and the longer the years of service of the minister, the lower is the perceived leadership performance. Findings also revealed that the higher the extent of being a servant model leader, pace-setting leader, charismatic leader, and democratic leader, the better is the perceived leadership performance. On the other hand, the negative correlation of autocratic leadership implies that the more autocratic a leader, the lower is the perceived leadership performance.
