Abstract : This study examined the influence of resource-generation capability, organizational learning, and data-driven decision-making ability on the strategic foresight of school leaders in Region 10 during School Year 2025-2026. Employing a quantitative, non-experimental research design utilizing correlation analysis, regression analysis, and structural equation modeling. Results revealed consistently high levels across all variables. Resource generation capability was rated high, with staff management for resource mobilization as the strongest indicator. Organizational learning was also high, driven primarily by dialogue as a mechanism for knowledge sharing and collective reflection. Data-driven decision-making was rated high, with data-use purpose identified as the leading indicator. Strategic foresight obtained the highest overall rating among all variables, with implementing strategic school pathways as the top-rated dimension. Correlation analysis demonstrated that all three independent variables and their respective indicators were significantly and positively correlated with strategic foresight, with data-driven decision-making ability exhibiting the strongest association. Regression analysis identified eight significant predictors that collectively explained a substantial proportion of the variance in strategic foresight, with data usage purpose and data literacy emerging as the most powerful predictors. The best-fitting structural model confirmed that the strategic foresight of school leaders is best anchored in data-driven decisionmaking ability, with this as its dominant predictor, complemented by resource generation capability and organizational learning, thereby offering a validated framework for educational policymakers to prioritize data literacy, technological infrastructure, and evidence-based management in leadership development programs.

Keywords : Resource Generation Capability, Organizational Learning, Data-Driven Decision-Making Ability and Strategic Foresight.
