Abstract:
Teacher is one of the most important components in education. Teachers are the foundation of all educational activities, particularly those involving the teaching and learning process in schools. As a result, it is crucial to increase teacher performance in order to improve education. The effectiveness of teachers is a key aspect in attaining educational objectives. The purpose of this research is to look into the direct and indirect links between transformational leadership, spirit, work commitment, and teacher performance. This study employs a quantitative method with facto exposure. This study included 276 participants from 24 State Junior High Schools. Proportional random sampling was utilized as the sample method. With 1 63 respondents, the number of samples was obtained using the Slovin formula. The data was obtained using a questionnaire consisting of transformational leadership (48 items), spirit (39 items), work commitment (25 items), teacher performance using teacher performance assessment (78 items). This research instrument tested the level of validity and reliability using the product moment person correlation test. The research data were analyzed using path analysis to see direct and indirect correlations between variables, by first doing normality, linearity, and multicollinearity tests. The results of the study show that there is a direct and indirect correlation between transformational leadership, spirit, work commitment and teacher performance.
