Transformational Leadership Style And Principal Performance In Overcoming Covid-19

Abstract

The performance of the head at this time is faced with two things, namely improving the quality of learning and overcoming the spread of Covid-19. To achieve these two goals a leadership style is needed, including a transformational leadership style. To find out the relationship between these three variables, a study was conducted with the aim of knowing the relationship between transformational leadership styles and the response to Covid-19 and the performance of school principals. To achieve this goal, research was carried out on 53 State Junior High School Principals in Pandeglang Regency. The results of this study generally show a strong relationship between transformational leadership style and Covid-19 countermeasures and the principal's performance with an R coefficient of 0.952. Meanwhile, the results of the analysis of the principal's performance with Covid-19 countermeasures as a control variable obtained results of 0.649, while for transformational leadership style as a control variable the results were 0.713. The two figures are relatively the same, so it can be concluded that the principal's performance in tackling Covid-19 in the school environment will be effective if you use a transformational leadership style.
