Abstract: This study aimed to examine the relationship between the structural culture of school heads and direction practices of teachers in public elementary schools. A descriptive-correlational research design was used with a sample of 135 teachers from public elementary schools in Baganga District, Davao Oriental. Data were collected through standardized questionnaires administered via face-to-face surveys. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation (SD), Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses. The results revealed that both structural culture and direction practices were rated very high. Correlation analysis indicated a significant positive relationship between these variables. Furthermore, specific domains of structural culture were found to significantly influence teachers' direction practices. It is recommended that school administrators focus on nurturing a strong structural culture to further enhance direction practices. Promoting collaboration, involving teachers in decision-making, and fostering professional development opportunities will help sustain very high levels of direction practices and improve the overall work environment in schools.
