Abstract
This study assessed the impact of governance practices on farmers' associations' performance in San Jacinto, Pangasinan. Data were gathered from 102 respondents, who represented both association leaders and members, using stratified sampling and a descriptive correlational methodology. Performance was evaluated in terms of financial results, member happiness, and organizational survival, while governance was reviewed in terms of leadership, transparency, accountability, and member participation. The results showed that while transparency has to be strengthened, especially in communication and information distribution, governance processes are usually effective, with leadership, accountability, and involvement scored well. While financial results were merely satisfactory, member satisfaction and organizational viability were clearly demonstrated in terms of performance, suggesting the need for better financial planning and sustainability initiatives. Stronger governance procedures are linked to improved organizational performance, according to correlational study. The study concludes that improving financial management and transparency is crucial to bolstering the efficacy of governance and guaranteeing the long-term viability and prosperity of farmers' associations.
