Abstract

Teacher’s performance is an important factor in improving the quality of education. Good teacher’s performance will create innovative, creative, relevant learning that has an impact on improving the quality of student learning. However, several studies show that the quality of teacher’s performance in Indonesia is still below international standards, as indicated by data from the 2020 Teacher Competency Test and PISA 2022. Several factors influence teacher performance, such as leadership, work culture, and the teachers themselves. This study aims to examine the influence of principal’s leadership style and work culture on teacher’s performance. This study uses an associative quantitative approach, involving 66 teachers from MAN 3 Blitar as respondents. Data collection techniques used questionnaires, documentation, non-participant observation, and literature study. The results show that the principal's leadership style and work culture partially and simultaneously have a significant effect on teacher performance. Theoretically, this study provides empirical support for Lewin's situational leadership theory and Robbin’s concept of work culture. This study shows that effective leadership management is crucial for principals to motivate and empower teachers. In addition, it also plays a role in creating a conducive work environment, thereby encouraging teacher’s productivity and commitment in order to achieve quality educational goals.
