Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of principals' leadership and motivation on teacher performance in SD Negeri 04 Pengarayan. The background of this research departs from the importance of the role of teachers in determining the success of education in Indonesia. Professional teachers are required to have academic competence, educator certification, and the ability to manage the learning process effectively. On the other hand, school principals as the highest leaders in schools have a strategic role in increasing teacher motivation and performance so that national education goals can be achieved.This research is focused on three main aspects, namely: (1) the influence of the principal's leadership on teacher performance, (2) the influence of teacher motivation on teacher performance, and (3) the influence of the principal's leadership and teacher motivation simultaneously on teacher performance at SD Negeri 04 Pengarayan. The research method used is a quantitative approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires, observations, and documentation. The results of the research are expected to make a theoretical contribution to the development of education management science, especially related to teacher leadership and work motivation. Practically, the results of this research are expected to be input for teachers to increase motivation and communication, for school principals in developing an effective and participatory leadership style, and for schools and education offices in designing programs to improve the quality of education through strengthening leadership and motivation of human resources.
