(Management)) Good governance is considered a significant requirement for development and competency in public-sector organisations. However, the principles of good governance for international development tend to be non-specific and largely ambitious, and rarely take into consideration the specific conditions of a country especially, the developing ones. According to the Worldwide Governance Report, the state of Palestine has been experiencing weak quality governance. The motivation behind this study is to seek a deeper understanding of the role of transformational leadership in promoting good governance practices in the Palestinian public sector. Another objective of this study is to investigate the mediating role of cooperative and competitive conflict management styles in the relationship between transformational leadership and good governance. This study applies a purposive sampling method along with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 358 general managers in the government sector in the Gaza Strip. Normality tests, descriptive statistics, and partial least square structural equation modelling were used for data analysis. The findings from this study revealed a positive and significant relationship between all transformational leadership behaviours and good governance, except for inspirational motivation. Also, this study found a significant positive relationship between transformational leadership and cooperative approaches as well as a significant negative relationship between transformational leadership and competitive approaches. The results established a significant positive relationship between cooperative and competitive conflict approaches and good governance. The findings confirmed that cooperative and competitive approaches partially mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and good governance. The results also confirmed that governments, by practicing transformational leadership at the top level, lay the foundation for a cooperative approach, in contrast to the competitive approach, to conflict management, which in turn promotes good governance. This study has contributed to the literature by introducing new empirical evidence in organisational studies on the role of transformational leadership practices in promoting good governance, especially in developing countries such as Palestine. The findings of this study have several theoretical, practical, and managerial implications in the fields of leadership, conflict management, and good governance.
