Abstract: This study investigated the connection between school administrators' management and teachers' satisfaction of professional and personal needs. A descriptive-correlational design was employed, and data were gathered from 60 Medina College teachers using validated questionnaires measuring administrators' supervisory, motivational, evaluative, and interpersonal skills. Results showed that administrators' skills were highly satisfactory, with personal and social competencies as the strongest. Teachers indicated that their motivational needs were largely met but emphasized their importance. Statistical analysis revealed a moderately positive correlation (r = 0.57, p <.05) between administrators' leadership influence and teachers' satisfaction of needs, indicating the central role of effective leadership in enhancing teachers' motivation and performance. The study concludes that balanced leadership, which integrates supervision, motivation, and evaluation, enhances teacher satisfaction and academic performance. It suggests reinforcing leadership programs with financial incentives and exploring factors such as autonomy and collaboration with peers to further enhance teacher motivation.
