It indicated that every increase of one unit of work motivation increased teachers' discipline by 0.345 at a constant of 36.851, and the strength of the correlation was 0.670. The percentage contribution of variable X1 to Y was 55.2%; (2) there was a relationship between variable X2 and Y with the equation Y = 36.851 + 0.395X2. The correlation score was 0.680 with a contribution of 57.8%; (3) there was a positive relationship between work motivation and principals' leadership on teachers' discipline which was stated by the equation Ŷ = 36.851 + 0.345X1 + 0.395X2.
