Abstract :

This study aims to examine the role of principal leadership, organizational culture, and school-based management in improving the quality of elementary schools, both separately and simultaneously. The sample size was 121 public elementary school teachers. The sampling technique used was stratified random sampling. The data analysis technique was descriptive and causal with multiple linear regression. Primary data processing was assisted by the SPSS application program. In an effort to improve the quality of elementary schools, this can be done by optimizing principal leadership, organizational culture, and school-based management. Policies related to this optimization can be implemented separately or at different times or carried out simultaneously. Policies related to optimizing organizational culture to improve the quality of elementary schools should be prioritized over principal leadership and school-based management.
