Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the relationship between futuristic leadership practices and participatory good governance among teachers in public elementary schools in Dujali District, Division of Davao del Norte. A non-experimental quantitative research design utilizing the correlational method was employed. The respondents consisted of 131 public elementary school teachers selected through universal sampling. Data were analyzed using mean, Pearson r, and regression analysis. The findings revealed that the level of futuristic leadership practices among teachers was high and often manifested. Similarly, the level of participatory good governance was also high and frequently demonstrated. A significant relationship was found between futuristic leadership practices and participatory good governance. Furthermore, the domains of futuristic leadership practices significantly influenced participatory good governance among teachers. Based on the findings, it is recommended that school heads enhance leadership practices by encouraging professional ethics among teachers and addressing students' needs through the creation of pleasant surroundings, a friendly atmosphere, and an inspiring learning environment. This information should be effectively communicated to all school administrators.
