Abstract

This research highlights the significant role of effective school principal leadership in shaping and enhancing teacher discipline. Effective leadership management, which appropriately applies both transformational and transactional leadership styles, fosters a supportive work climate that encourages teachers to be disciplined and responsible. Principals with a transformational leadership style, emphasizing teacher motivation, shared vision, and involvement in decision-making, are able to nurture teachers' intrinsic commitment to discipline and professional responsibility. Conversely, a transactional leadership style, characterized by a reward and sanction system, provides clear guidelines and reinforces discipline through structured incentives and behavioral control. The study also identifies several supporting factors that influence the success of principals in improving teacher discipline, including school organizational culture, support from educational supervisors, and principals’ interpersonal skills, such as effective communication and empathy.
