Abstract

Teacher performance is a crucial factor in the success of early childhood education, as it reflects teachers’ ability to carry out instructional duties effectively and professionally. This study aimed to analyze the effects of humanistic leadership, teachers’ emotional intelligence, and team collaboration on kindergarten teachers’ performance in Pulaulaut Utara District. The study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational research design formulated through a path analysis model. The population consisted of all kindergarten teachers in Pulaulaut Utara District, and all members of the population were included as research participants using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires that had met the requirements of validity and reliability. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, linear regression, and path analysis. The findings revealed that humanistic leadership, teachers’ emotional intelligence, team collaboration, and teacher performance were all categorized as high. Humanistic leadership had a positive effect on teacher performance (β = 0.070) and team collaboration (β = 0.455). Teachers’ emotional intelligence had a positive effect on teacher performance (β = 0.185) and team collaboration (β = 0.296). Team collaboration also had a positive effect on teacher performance (β = 0.407). Furthermore, team collaboration was found to mediate the effect of humanistic leadership on teacher performance with an indirect effect of 0.185 and to mediate the effect of teachers’ emotional intelligence on teacher performance with an indirect effect of 0.120. These findings indicate that improving teacher performance can be achieved through strengthening humanistic leadership practices, enhancing teachers’ emotional intelligence, and fostering effective team collaboration within schools..

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan humanis, kecerdasan emosional guru, kolaborasi tim, dan kinerja guru berada pada kategori tinggi. Kepemimpinan humanis berpengaruh positif terhadap kinerja guru (β = 0,070) dan kolaborasi tim (β = 0,455). Kecerdasan emosional guru berpengaruh positif terhadap kinerja guru (β = 0,185) dan kolaborasi tim (β = 0,296). Kolaborasi tim berpengaruh positif terhadap kinerja guru (β = 0,407). Selain itu, kolaborasi tim terbukti memediasi pengaruh kepemimpinan humanis terhadap kinerja guru dengan pengaruh tidak langsung sebesar 0,185 serta memediasi pengaruh kecerdasan emosional guru terhadap kinerja guru dengan pengaruh tidak langsung sebesar 0,120.
