Abstract

Teacher performance is an important factor in achieving educational goals, namely to produce quality graduates. Based on the preliminary survey, it was found that teacher performance was still not as expected. Therefore, this teacher's performance is an interesting topic to research. Based on the background, the purpose of this study was to find efforts to improve teacher performance by strengthening visionary leadership. The population of this study were all teachers with civil servant status in SMP Negeri all South Tangerang City. The sampling technique used was proportional random sampling and the Slovin formula was used to determine the number of samples in order to obtain 252 samples. The analysis of this research was carried out using the statistical correlation method to determine whether the independent variables, namely visionary leadership, learning organizations and adversity intelligence have a positive relationship with teacher performance. Then analyzed using the SITOREM method to determine the order of priority and recommendations for improvements that need to be done.
The results showed that all independent variables had a significant positive relationship with teacher performance, in the order based on the strength of the visionary leadership relationship (ry1 = 0.547). This shows that teacher performance can be improved by strengthening visionary leadership, learning organizations and adversity intelligence.
The results of the SITOREM analysis show that the components of teacher performance through visionary leadership, which still need improvement are: 1) Formulating an organizational vision and solving problems 2) Reacting appropriately to all threats & opportunities 3) Having broad insights 4) Endurance 5) Achievement. The suggestion that can be put forward for teachers and school principals is to maintain indicators that have a fairly good value.
