Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of collaborative and participatory leadership of the principal and its impact on teacher performance at SDN Gambut 4. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach using a case study design. The research subjects consisted of the principal and teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, while data analysis was conducted using an interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through triangulation and member checking. The results show that collaborative leadership is implemented through teacher collaboration in planning, implementing, and evaluating learning, supported by open and dialogic communication. Participatory leadership is reflected in teachers’ active involvement in decision-making, program planning, and evaluation through deliberative forums. Task delegation and teacher empowerment further indicate the distribution of leadership roles (shared leadership), strengthening collective responsibility. These leadership practices positively impact teacher performance, as seen in improved lesson planning, increased discipline and responsibility, enhanced instructional innovation, and stronger collaboration among teachers. The findings also highlight the role of effective communication and a supportive school culture in sustaining these improvements. This study confirms that modern educational leadership should emphasize empowerment, collaboration, and active participation to enhance teacher performance and improve the quality of primary education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of the principal’s exemplary leadership in building a culture of integrity and ethics at SMKN 2 Pelaihari. The study is based on the importance of character development in education, which emphasizes not only academic achievement but also moral and ethical values. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of 1 principal, 4 teachers, and 6 students selected purposively based on their involvement in and understanding of the school culture. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and then analyzed using an interactive analysis model. The findings show that the principal’s exemplary leadership played a significant role in shaping a culture of integrity through three main mechanisms: providing direct examples in daily behavior, maintaining consistency between words and actions, and transmitting values through interactions among the principal, teachers, and students. In addition, the culture of integrity was strengthened through habituation programs and character-building activities involving the entire school community. However, several challenges were identified, including differences in individual character and varying levels of awareness among school members. This study concludes that exemplary leadership is an effective strategy for building an ethical and integrity-based organizational culture and has important implications for strengthening values-based leadership in education.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the implementation of modern principal leadership in improving school quality at SDN Sungai Kitano 1. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observations of the school environment and managerial practices, interviews with the principal and teachers, and document analysis of school programs, supervision records, and learning activities. Data were analyzed through data reduction, thematic categorization, data display, verification, and triangulation of sources and techniques. The findings show that the principal implemented modern leadership by strengthening the school quality vision, encouraging participatory decision making, conducting academic supervision, supporting teacher professional development, building open communication, promoting educational technology, strengthening a disciplined school culture, and collaborating with parents and the community. These practices supported school quality improvement by creating a more conducive learning climate, increasing teacher motivation, strengthening school collaboration, and developing students’ academic and nonacademic achievement. The main supporting factors included the principal’s commitment, teacher support, parental participation, and collaborative work culture. The main constraints included limited facilities, funding, and uneven digital competence among teachers. The study confirms that adaptive, democratic, collaborative, and learning-oriented modern leadership is an important strategy for improving the quality of elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the role of the principal’s leadership style in developing a research community as a flagship program at SDN Pelambuan 4 Banjarmasin. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving the principal, research community mentor teachers, and student members of the research community. The results showed that the principal applied participative, democratic, and transformational leadership styles. These leadership styles were reflected in the principal’s openness in involving teachers and students, providing opportunities to express ideas, and supporting the development of students’ potential. The research community was developed through collaborative planning, provision of facilities, teacher mentoring, arrangement of guidance time, and collaboration with external partners. Although several obstacles were found, such as limited time, student consistency, and the number of school programs running simultaneously, these challenges were managed through regular evaluation, flexible scheduling, and task distribution. The research community had positive impacts on students’ self-confidence, critical thinking skills, creativity, independence, collaboration, and the strengthening of the school’s scientific culture.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the influence of work climate and principal leadership on teacher job satisfaction at MAN 2 Pulang Pisau, both partially and simultaneously. A quantitative approach with a survey method and an ex post facto design was employed. The population consisted of 31 teachers, all of whom were selected as research participants using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The classical assumption tests indicated that the data were normally distributed, linear, and free from multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity. Partial hypothesis testing revealed that work climate had no significant effect on teacher job satisfaction (Sig. = 0.980 > 0.05), and principal leadership also showed no significant effect (Sig. = 0.249 > 0.05). Simultaneous testing demonstrated that both variables did not significantly affect teacher job satisfaction (Sig. = 0.490 > 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.050, indicating that work climate and principal leadership explained only 5% of the variance in teacher job satisfaction, while the remaining 95% was influenced by other factors beyond the research model. These findings suggest that teacher job satisfaction at MAN 2 Pulang Pisau is more strongly influenced by internal factors, including intrinsic motivation, professional responsibility, work ethic, and religious commitment.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the principal’s leadership style in managing school programs at SDN Bentok Darat. Effective school leadership plays a crucial role in improving educational quality, teacher performance, and the successful implementation of school programs. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, four teachers, and one administrative staff member. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation, while data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the principal applies a democratic leadership style characterized by participatory decision-making, open two-way communication, collegial supervision through collaborative guidance and support, and appreciation-based motivation. School programs are systematically managed through planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation involving all school stakeholders. The democratic leadership style contributes positively to program success by strengthening teachers’ sense of ownership, fostering an innovative and collaborative school climate, and developing distributed leadership through the allocation of leadership roles and responsibilities to teachers according to their capacities. Therefore, democratic leadership can be considered an effective approach to supporting sustainable school program management and improving educational quality in elementary schools.
