ABSTRACT
Research on the performance of Generation Z teachers in madrasah settings remains limited, particularly studies examining charismatic principal leadership and work motivation simultaneously. This gap is important because the characteristics of Generation Z teachers require leadership and motivational approaches that are responsive to their professional needs. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between charismatic principal leadership, work motivation, and the performance of Generation Z teachers at Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) in Jerowaru District. A quantitative approach with an associative design was employed. The population and sample consisted of 40 Generation Z teachers selected using total sampling. Data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using validity, reliability, classical assumption, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination analyses. The results showed that charismatic leadership and work motivation had positive and statistically significant relationships with teacher performance individually, while both variables simultaneously showed a statistically significant relationship with teacher performance. Work motivation had a relatively larger standardized coefficient than charismatic leadership in the model. These findings highlight the importance of developing communicative and inspirational principal leadership and strengthening work motivation to support the performance of Generation Z teachers in madrasah settings.
ABSTRAK
Penelitian mengenai kinerja guru Generasi Z pada lingkungan madrasah masih terbatas, khususnya yang mengkaji kepemimpinan kharismatik kepala sekolah dan motivasi kerja secara bersama-sama. Keterbatasan kajian tersebut penting diperhatikan karena karakteristik guru Generasi Z menuntut pendekatan kepemimpinan dan pengelolaan motivasi yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan profesional mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan kepemimpinan kharismatik kepala sekolah dan motivasi kerja dengan kinerja guru Generasi Z di MTs Kecamatan Jerowaru. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain asosiatif. Populasi sekaligus sampel terdiri atas 40 guru Generasi Z yang ditentukan melalui total sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner skala Likert dan dianalisis melalui uji validitas, reliabilitas, asumsi klasik, regresi linear berganda, uji t, uji F, dan koefisien determinasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan kharismatik dan motivasi kerja memiliki hubungan positif dan signifikan dengan kinerja guru secara parsial, serta keduanya secara simultan menunjukkan hubungan statistik yang signifikan dengan kinerja guru. Motivasi kerja memiliki koefisien standar relatif lebih besar dibandingkan kepemimpinan kharismatik dalam model. Temuan ini menunjukkan pentingnya pengembangan kepemimpinan kepala sekolah yang komunikatif dan inspiratif serta penguatan motivasi kerja dalam mendukung kinerja guru Generasi Z di lingkungan madrasah.
