This study aims to analyze the factors influencing teacher work productivity in elementary schools in Tasikmalaya Regency. The research focuses on transformational leadership, organizational climate, teacher collaboration, and work motivation as variables contributing to teacher productivity. A mixed-methods approach was employed, consisting of two main phases: qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative phase involved in-depth interviews to identify the current conditions of teacher work productivity and dominant influencing factors. The quantitative phase included 163 respondents selected using proportional random sampling, with data analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS) Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
