The Influence of Principal’s Visionary Leadership on Improving Teacher Performance

School leadership plays a crucial role in achieving educational goals, particularly in improving teacher performance. This study aims to examine the effect of principals' visionary leadership on teacher performance. A quantitative survey method was employed involving 30 teachers selected through simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS 4. The results revealed that principals' visionary leadership had a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, with a path coefficient of 0.760. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.577 indicates that visionary leadership explains 57.7% of the variance in teacher performance, with the remaining 42.3% attributable to other factors outside the research model. These findings suggest that principals who effectively formulate and communicate a clear vision, inspire teachers, and empower school personnel contribute to improved teacher performance. Therefore, strengthening principals' visionary leadership competencies is essential for enhancing teacher performance and improving educational quality.
