Abstract

The effectiveness and standard of teacher performance in elementary schools are greatly influenced by the leadership style that school principals select. This study intended to examine how principals' leadership philosophies impact primary school teachers' performance in order to shed light on the ways that leadership influences educational outcomes. The issue was analysed through survey methodologies. Three hundred primary school educators from Sumedang Regency, Indonesia, engaged in the study. Data was collected via the dissemination of a structured questionnaire. The results indicate that the efficacy of primary school teachers is significantly influenced by the leadership style of the principal. Educators who exhibit clear communication, equitable task allocation, and supportive guidance demonstrate heightened motivation, improved lesson planning, and increased engagement in initiatives to advance their schools. Moreover, leadership strategies that promote teacher involvement in decision-making foster a positive work environment, thereby enhancing teacher professionalism. Enhancing the competencies of school leaders through targeted leadership development programs is expected to elevate teacher performance and subsequently enhance overall school outcomes.
