Abstract

Transformational leadership plays a crucial role in enhancing school well-being by influencing the behavior, motivation, and moral commitment of staff. This study aims to analyze how the principal’s transformational leadership contributes to school well-being in a holistic sense and how this leadership style fosters a positive learning environment. A qualitative case study approach was used, with data collected through observations, in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, supervisors, and educational staff, as well as analysis of school reports, quality assurance documents, supervision records, and meeting minutes. The findings indicate that the principal effectively applied the four core dimensions of transformational leadership: idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. These practices built trust, motivation, creativity, and emotional support among teachers, improving the overall well-being of the school community. The integration of transformational leadership with systematic quality improvement processes created a sustainable culture of quality and a collaborative, positive, and religious learning environment. The study concludes that transformational leadership significantly strengthens school well-being and fosters a conducive atmosphere for learning.

Abstract

This study examines how perceptions of school management training and work discipline influence teacher work productivity. The background highlights that both training and discipline are essential for improving teacher performance but have rarely been studied together in the elementary school setting. The study aims to determine the extent to which these two variables affect productivity. Using a quantitative causal method, data were collected from 178 teachers selected through proportionate stratified random sampling and measured using a Likert-scale questionnaire. Analysis techniques included descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, prerequisite tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The findings show that 75% of respondents reported that their productivity was influenced by training and discipline. Perceptions of training had a positive and significant effect on productivity (β = 0.421; t = 6.114; p = 0.000), and work discipline also showed a positive and significant effect (β = 0.398; t = 5.772; p = 0.000). Both variables simultaneously demonstrated a significant influence (F = 56.382; p = 0.000), with an R² value of 0.487, indicating that 48.7% of productivity variation is explained by these factors. The study concludes that enhancing school management training and strengthening work discipline are effective strategies for improving teacher work productivity.

Abstract

The management of science laboratories plays a strategic role in supporting experiment-based learning, which can enhance students’ motivation and academic achievement. However, many schools still face challenges related to limited equipment, inadequate maintenance, and the inconsistent implementation of laboratory activities. This study aims to explore in depth how science laboratories are managed in secondary schools and how such management influences students’ motivation and academic performance. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews with teachers, students, and laboratory personnel, and document analysis, including inventory records, practicum schedules, and laboratory SOPs. Data analysis followed Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s interactive model. The findings indicate that the laboratory management is functional but not optimal due to limited resources, the absence of laboratory assistants, and irregular practicum implementation. Both teachers and students express highly positive perceptions of laboratory activities, which are shown to significantly increase motivation through engaging and meaningful hands-on experiences. The results also reveal that students who actively participate in laboratory work demonstrate better conceptual understanding and higher academic achievement. The study concludes that science laboratories have substantial potential as pedagogical spaces that mediate improvements in motivation and learning outcomes.

Abstract

In the digital era, schools are increasingly required to modernize administrative processes to meet the demands of efficiency and quality service. This study aims to examine the implementation of digital performance management to improve educational administration and staff performance. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and document analysis, then analyzed following Miles’ interactive model of data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that digital performance management has improved administrative workflows by shifting from manual to real-time, structured, and paperless processes, resulting in more efficient, accurate, and transparent services. Service quality improved across speed, reliability, responsiveness, and accountability. Challenges remain, including variations in staff digital competence, dependence on ICT infrastructure, and occasional network instability. Recommended strategies include ongoing staff training, technological infrastructure enhancement, periodic system evaluation, and strong digital leadership. Digital performance management plays a strategic role in enhancing school administration quality and provides valuable insights for the digital transformation of educational administration. These findings are expected to contribute to policy development on the digitalization of secondary school educational administration.
