Principle’s Leadership Style, School Climate and Teachers’ Work Motivation

Abstract

This study aims to determine the existence of (1) the relationship between the principal's leadership style and teacher's work motivation, (2) the relationship between the school climate and work motivation, (3) the relationship between the principal's leadership style, the school climate together with the work motivation of teachers. This research was conducted at Ambon City State Middle School within three months. The method used is a survey with correlational analysis techniques. The population of this research is all teachers of Ambon City Public Middle School. Sampling of this study was carried out using a proportional random sampling technique of 302 people. Data is collected through questionnaire instruments. The reliability of the principal's leadership style instrument is 0.89, the school climate is 0.90 and the teachers' work motivation is 0.87. The results of this research data are processed using simple Product Moment correlation analysis techniques and multiple correlation. The results of the study show First, there is a significant relationship between the principal's leadership style and the teacher's work motivation. This can be seen from the correlation coefficient of 0.90 and the coefficient of determination 0.81 which shows the contribution of the principal's leadership style to teacher work motivation of 81%, and the linear regression equation Ŷ = 11.25 + 3.78X1. Second, there is a significant relationship between school climate and teacher motivation. This can be seen from the correlation coefficient of 0.87 and the coefficient of determination 0.76 which shows the contribution of the school climate to teacher work motivation by 76%, and the linear regression equation Ŷ = 7.38 + 4.15 X2. Third, there is a significant relationship between the principal's leadership style and the school climate together with the teacher's work motivation. This can be seen from the multiple / multiple correlation coefficients of 0.85 and the coefficient of determination 0.72 which shows the contribution of the principal's leadership style and school climate to teacher work motivation by 72%, and the linear regression equation Ŷ = 8.43 + 4.75X1 + 6.15 X2. Based on the results of this study, efforts can be made to increase teacher motivation with the better leadership style of the principal and the school climate.
