Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the significant influence of transformational leadership on global competence among school administrators in public elementary education institutions. The study was conducted in the General Roxas District, Division of Davao City, employing a descriptive-correlational research design. A total of 105 school administrators were surveyed using standardized questionnaires. Mean, Pearson product-moment correlation, and regression analyses were used to examine the collected data. The findings revealed that both transformational leadership practices and global competence among school administrators were at notably high levels. Moreover, a significant relationship was found between transformational leadership and global competence. Further analysis indicated that the domains of transformational leadership practices significantly influenced the global competence of school administrators. Based on these findings, it is recommended that public educational institutions in this area may prioritize professional development programs aimed at enhancing transformational leadership and global competence among school administrators.
