Based on the findings, all the studied hypotheses were rejected, and the following conclusions were drawn: It is crucial for school heads to acquire life satisfaction as it is a key determinant of psychological resilience, which is a major attribute that must be possessed by people assuming leadership roles and school heads must feel satisfied with the quality of their work life for them to enhance their psychological resilience and their work performance. Finally, the following recommendations were made based on the findings and conclusions: 1) Future researchers may use the same problem, design, and approaches used in this research to conduct another research in different contexts and/or respondents 2) Department of Education officials may use this research as basis for the creation of a possible psychological resilience program 3) A more comprehensive and aggressive approach must be employed in improving the quality of work life of the school leaders 4) School leaders may engage in minimal leisure activities, relaxation, nap, and micro-hobbies in between working tasks to make them more productive and less stressed and 5) Limitations may be set when school leaders are engaged in their personal and work life.
