This research titled "Good Governance Implications on Principals' Effectiveness in Public Secondary Schools PSS in the South West Region SWR of Cameroon", sought to examine the extent to which good governance practice participation affect principals' effectiveness. More specifically, this paper sought to find out how participation in decision making affects principals' effectiveness. The survey research design was employed and a sample of 380 made up of school administrators principals, vice principals, senior discipline masters mistresses and counsellors and teachers, students and parents were used. The simple random sampling and purposive sampling techniques were used to select the respondents. The instruments used in collecting data were questionnaires both open and closed ended and a guide for focus group discussion. Validation of instruments was done through face and content validity. Reliability was achieved through the test re test method. The statistical package for social sciences SPSS , version 25 was used to analyse data. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed. For descriptive statistics, frequencies, percentages, bar charts and pie charts were used. For inferential statistics, the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient Value® was employed to test the hypothesis. The results rejected the null hypothesis while retaining the alternative form. The indicator had a moderate relationship, that is, participation in decision making rxy comp. value =0.561 . This value was compared to the maximum value 1, to determine the strength of the relationship. This led to the conclusion that participation in decision making has a significant relationship with principals' effectiveness. Based on these results recommendations were made following the specific objective. Principals are advised regularly to use participatory decision making to foster their effectiveness.
