This study aimed to determine the mediating role of change readiness in the relationship between transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and organizational commitment in public elementary schools. The study employed a descriptive-correlational approach, including 237 out of 278 teachers in the Nagcarlan Sub-Office, Division of Laguna. A five-part survey questionnaire was utilized to determine the respondents' profiles, transformational and transactional leadership level, change readiness, and organizational commitment. Mean and standard deviation were used to determine the transformational and transactional leadership level, change readiness and organizational commitment. Pearson-Moment Correlation Coefficient and mediation analysis were used to test the hypotheses. The results revealed a significant relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment. A significant relationship exists between transactional leadership in terms of contingent reward and active management by exception to organizational commitment. Passive management by exception is significant only to continuance commitment. Change readiness fully mediated the relationship between the school head’s transformational leadership and transactional leadership to organizational commitment. As a result, the research hypotheses are not sustained. It is recommended to propose programs and training to increase teachers' change readiness.
