Abstract: Teacher motivation is a crucial factor in ensuring high-quality education and student achievement. This study examines the impact of servant leadership on teacher motivation in North B District, Division of Tangub City. Specifically, it explores the relationship between servant leadership dimensions and teachers' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, utilizing a survey questionnaire to assess servant leadership perceptions and motivation levels among teachers. The study included a sample of teachers from the district, analyzing demographic factors such as age, gender, educational attainment, and years of service. Data were analyzed using mean ratings, correlation analysis, and comparative statistical tests. Findings indicate that the overall impact of servant leadership was rated as "Very High" (mean = 3.563). Among the dimensions, Authenticity and Building Community received the highest ratings, while Humility was rated the lowest. Similarly, teacher motivation was also rated as "Very High," with Relatedness scoring the highest. A significant positive relationship was found between servant leadership and teacher motivation, suggesting that when school leaders practice servant leadership, teachers experience greater autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Additionally, differences in perception were observed based on educational attainment and years of service, with more experienced and highly educated teachers perceiving a stronger impact of servant leadership. The study concludes that servant leadership plays a vital role in enhancing teacher motivation. School leaders who demonstrate authenticity, provide direction, and build a sense of community significantly contribute to teachers' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Strengthening servant leadership practices through professional development and policy integration is recommended to sustain teacher motivation and improve overall educational outcomes.
