Work immersion is a significant component of the Senior High School curriculum. It is, thus,
imperative for schools to strive to prepare students for their first industry exposure; hence, this
study aimed at determining the influence of self-determination, self-efficacy and leadership
to students’ work immersion performance. The Philippine education of the 21st century for-
mulated the enhancement of Technical Vocational Livelihood (TVL) program in Senior High
School. This track focuses in gaining skills essential in achieving National Certificates and
Certificate of Competency. In order to make Immersion meaningful and useful, the study
needs the schools to be aware of the educational objectives and processes of K to 12 (Cruz,
2013). The researcher selected Self-Determination Theory because of its usefulness in ex-
plaining self-determination, self-efficacy and leadership skills. In the educational context,
Self-Determination Theory has been a tool used for the betterment of learning. Tsai et al.
(2008) found in their study that students’ interest was enhanced for lessons in which teachers
practiced autonomy and active support of student’s learning. Contrastingly, the students’ in-
terest was diminished for lessons in which teachers were controlling. A study also highlighted
Self-Determination Theory as an effective lens in perceiving the training experience of clini-
cal interns. SDT discovers the emotions, psychological needs, and role transitions that interns
experience throughout their internship (Rushing & Capilouto, 2016). On the other hand, the
variable of self-efficacy has utilized Bandura’s Self-Efficacy Theory (Bandura, 2006) which
is one of the many leading theories integrated with SDT. Self-efficacy refers to a view of
one’s proficiency to organize the courses of action needed to manage prospective situations.
Self-efficacy beliefs are assumed to play indispensable role in any type of personal change,
and this construct is the foundation of human motivation (Iwanaga, 2018). Learning efficacy
