Teacher’s Work Motivation: In Terms of Principal’s Leadership and School Culture

This study aims to identify and analyse the influence of school principals' leadership and school culture variables on teachers' work motivation. This study was part of a cross-sectional research design to identify and measure the degree of influence among variables such as principal leadership, school culture, and teacher motivation. A survey questionnaire was distributed to 220 teachers to determine their perceptions of principal leadership, school culture, and teacher motivation, then analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) with PLS 3.0. The results of the analysis show that the principal's leadership has a significant positive direct effect on school culture, that the principal's leadership has a significant indirect effect on teachers' work motivation, that school culture has a positive direct effect and a significant effect about teachers' work motivation and that school culture has a
positive and significant indirect effect on teachers' work motivation
