contents <p class="MsoNormal"><span>This study explores the manifestation and impact of Inspirational Motivation, a key dimension of Transformational Leadership, on school governance, particularly focusing on policy implementation and management in public elementary schools in Candelaria, Quezon. The study employed a descriptive quantitative research design and involved 31 school heads from the East and West Districts of Candelaria. Data were gathered using a validated researcher-made Likert-scale questionnaire focusing on the dimensions of Inspirational Motivation and school governance practices. Descriptive statistics and paired t-tests were utilized to analyze the data. The results indicate that transformational leadership is predominantly exhibited through Inspirational Motivation, with school heads effectively articulating a clear vision, fostering emotional engagement, instilling confidence and optimism, recognizing and empowering staff, and leading by example. These leadership behaviors are positively associated with improved collaboration, higher staff morale, and enhanced professional growth. Furthermore, statistical analysis using paired t-tests revealed no significant difference between planned and implemented leadership actions, suggesting a strong alignment between intended governance objectives and their actual execution within school settings. To conclude, Inspirational Motivation significantly contributes to governance efficiency, especially in implementing educational policies and managing daily operations. Consequently, a School Governance Framework is proposed, centering on vision-driven leadership, stakeholder engagement, ethical conduct, and professional development. The research recommends strengthening leadership training, policy monitoring, stakeholder inclusion, technological integration in operations, and recognition systems. Given its rural setting, the study highlights the importance of contextualized leadership practices to address local challenges. Overall, it contributes to bridging leadership theory with governance practice, offering practical implications for educational policy and leadership development within the Philippine basic education system.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><em><span>Keywords:</span></em><strong><span> </span></strong><em><span>Inspirational Motivation, Transformational Leadership, School Governance, Policy Implementation, Educational Leadership, Vision-Driven Leadership, Candelaria Quezon, Public School Management</span></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span> </span></em></strong></p>
