The study is conducted in Sulop District, located in the Municipality of Sulop, a 3rd class municipality in Davao del Sur. Approximately 17 kilometers from Digos City, the provincial capital, and lies midway between two major growth centers in Mindanao: Davao City (Region XI) and General Santos City (Region XII) during the second semester of school year 2020 - 2021. Convenience sampling was used, involving 100 voluntary teacher participants with informed consent. A validated researcher-made questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale was utilized. Necessary approvals were secured prior to data collection through questionnaire distribution. Data were analyzed using mean and Pearson correlation to determine the extent of practices and relationships between variables. The results showed that school administrators’ motivational approaches were consistently rated using Likert Scale as “often” in shared decision-making (4.02), goal setting (4.05), and professional development (4.10).
