Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of principal leadership style and teachers’ work motivation on the performance of elementary school teachers in Talang Kelapa District, Banyuasin Regency. Employing a quantitative approach with a survey design, the study involved 109 teachers from public elementary schools selected as research respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaires that measured principal leadership style, teachers’ work motivation, and teacher performance. The collected data were then analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression techniques to examine both partial and simultaneous effects among the variables. The results of the t-test indicate that principal leadership style has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance (t = 4.420; Sig. = 0.000), contributing 15.4% to the variance in teacher performance. Similarly, teachers’ work motivation shows a positive and significant effect on teacher performance (t = 5.796; Sig. = 0.000), with a contribution of 23.9%. Furthermore, the results of the simultaneous test reveal that principal leadership style and teachers’ work motivation jointly have a significant effect on teacher performance (F = 19.693; Sig. = 0.000), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.271. These findings confirm that teacher performance is influenced by both organizational and individual factors. Strengthening principal leadership practices and enhancing teachers’ work motivation are therefore essential strategies for improving teacher performance and supporting the effectiveness of elementary education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the combined influence of curriculum implementation and teacher motivation on student learning achievement in State Junior High Schools within Sematang Borang District. Employing a quantitative descriptive method, data were collected via questionnaires, observation, and documentation from a sample of 70 principals and teachers across two schools: SMP Negeri 23 and SMP Negeri 60 Palembang. Analysis involved normality, linearity, and multicollinearity tests, followed by correlation, regression, t-tests, and an F-test. The results indicate a statistically significant joint influence, with curriculum and teacher motivation together explaining 59.6% of the variance in student achievement. The novelty lies in empirically examining the synergistic effect of these two factors within a specific Indonesian district context. Practically, the findings underscore the need for integrated school improvement policies that simultaneously enhance curricular delivery and teacher incentive structures. This research contributes to educational management theory by quantifying the collective impact of institutional and human resource variables on academic outcomes.
