The study used correlational survey research design. Out of the 724-target population, 258 (182 males and 76 females) teacher respondents were involved. To analyze the data, spearman correlation and regression were employed using SPSS version 22. As the findings indicated, the relationship between holistic leadership and teachers' work engagement correlation coefficients ranged from r=.220 to r=.443 with a P-value of 0.000. Based on this, the researcher concluded that despite the correlation being low and moderate, the P-values clearly demonstrate a significant positive correlation between holistic leadership and teachers' work engagement in schools. Similarly, the regression findings revealed that the effect of the predictor (holistic leadership) on teachers' work engagement and the P-value showed 0.000. From this, it is possible to conclude that its influence is considered highly significant. Based on these findings, it is recommended that school leaders make concerted efforts to create strong relationships with teachers. From a policy perspective, it is further recommended that the Ministry of Education prioritize the integration of holistic leadership principles into educational leadership policies and frameworks.
