Abstract

This study examined the implementation of succession planning practices at the barangay level in a Local Government Unit (LGU) to ensure leadership continuity and effective public service. Utilizing a cross-sectional descriptive survey design, the study assessed leadership development, policy continuity, community support, and capacity building across three selected barangays in Sampaloc, Manila: Barangay 632 (De Dios), Barangay 633 (Quintina), and Barangay 634 (Valencia). Data were gathered via a validated Likert-scale questionnaire from 150 respondents, consisting of 30 barangay officials and 120 constituents, and analyzed using percentages, weighted means, ranking, and a t-test. The findings revealed that succession planning practices are generally evident and implemented, with Leadership Development ranking the highest and Capacity Building and Training Programs ranking the lowest. The t-test established no significant difference between the assessments of officials and constituents regarding leadership development, policy continuity, and community support. However, a significant difference emerged in their perceptions of capacity building and training programs. Based on these outcomes, a targeted action plan is proposed to address the identified training gaps and sustain long-term institutional leadership continuity.
