Abstract

This study aims to analyze the differences in leadership styles and performance between definitive school principals and Acting (PLT) principals in public schools in Sukorejo District, Pasuruan Regency. The main focus of this research is to identify how the difference in leadership status affects decision-making, management stability, and the effectiveness of school program management. Theoretically, this research is based on transformational and instructional leadership concepts, which are believed to play an essential role in improving the quality of learning and student achievement. Based on the qualitative data analysis obtained from interviews and observations, it was found that definitive school principals have a more stable and consistent leadership style and are more flexible in planning long-term programs. On the other hand, Acting principals face limitations in authority and tenure, which affects their ability to make strategic decisions. These findings indicate that the stability of a definitive principal’s leadership is directly related to successful management and consistent educational outcomes in schools. This research is expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the differences in principal status and its impact on the effectiveness of school management.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the coping strategies of Generation X and Millennial school principals in work stress management within the context of elementary school leadership. The research uses a qualitative approach with a multi-site study design conducted at SDN Ngembe 1 and SDN Baujeng 1 in Beji District. The subjects of the study are school principals representing Generation X and Millennial, selected purposively. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and then analyzed thematically through stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, including cross-site analysis. The results show that both generations face relatively similar sources of work stress, particularly stemming from leadership role complexities, administrative demands, and stakeholder expectations. However, there are differences in how stress is perceived and managed. Generation X principals tend to use problem-solving and self-resilience-oriented coping strategies supported by work experience, while Millennial principals are more flexible, combining problem-solving, emotional management, technology utilization, and social support strategies. These findings emphasize that generational backgrounds influence the coping strategy dynamics of school principals in work stress management, which should be considered in the development of policies and programs to strengthen elementary school leadership.
