Introduction/Main Objectives: This study examines the simultaneous influence of transformational leadership, work discipline, and work motivation on employee performance in an Islamic junior high school context. Human resource quality is a key determinant of educational institution success, yet many schools face challenges in optimizing employee performance.
Background Problems: Educational institutions often struggle with inconsistent work discipline, varying motivation levels, and leadership practices that do not fully encourage employee engagement. This research asks: Do transformational leadership, work discipline, and work motivation simultaneously affect employee performance at SMP Islam Gondanglegi?
Research Methods: A quantitative survey method was used with saturated sampling of all 35 employees (teaching and non-teaching staff) at SMP Islam Gondanglegi, Malang Regency. Data were collected via a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–5) and analyzed using multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²) with SPSS.
Finding/Results: The results indicate that transformational leadership, work discipline, and work motivation each have a positive and significant partial effect on employee performance (t-count > t-table, p < 0.05). Simultaneously, the three variables explain 72.4% of the variance in employee performance (F-count = 27.84, p < 0.001; adjusted R² = 0.724).
Conclusion: Effective transformational leadership, strong work discipline, and continuous motivation significantly improve employee performance in social-based educational institutions. School management should implement leadership strategies and policies that foster engagement and professional development.
