This study aimed to analyze the influence of work climate and principal leadership on teacher job satisfaction at MAN 2 Pulang Pisau, both partially and simultaneously. A quantitative approach with a survey method and an ex post facto design was employed. The population consisted of 31 teachers, all of whom were selected as research participants using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The classical assumption tests indicated that the data were normally distributed, linear, and free from multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity. Partial hypothesis testing revealed that work climate had no significant effect on teacher job satisfaction (Sig. = 0.980 > 0.05), and principal leadership also showed no significant effect (Sig. = 0.249 > 0.05). Simultaneous testing demonstrated that both variables did not significantly affect teacher job satisfaction (Sig. = 0.490 > 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.050, indicating that work climate and principal leadership explained only 5% of the variance in teacher job satisfaction, while the remaining 95% was influenced by other factors beyond the research model. These findings suggest that teacher job satisfaction at MAN 2 Pulang Pisau is more strongly influenced by internal factors, including intrinsic motivation, professional responsibility, work ethic, and religious commitment.
