Abstract

This study examines the role of transformational leadership by the madrasah principal in
shaping school culture and enhancing teacher professionalism at MTs Negeri Luwu
Utara. A qualitative approach was employed, using a case study method, with data
gathered through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The
findings show that the principal's leadership style includes elements of directive,
supportive, participatory, and achievement-oriented approaches, demonstrating an
adaptive method tailored to the institution's needs. School culture is built through
teacher involvement in decision-making, open communication, innovation, and
adequate performance supervision. Teacher professionalism is strengthened through
providing challenges, ongoing professional development, sufficient facilities, and
motivation and recognition from school leadership. Leadership values such as
consistency, a future-oriented vision, collaboration, role modeling, and caring are key
drivers in fostering a positive school culture and improving teacher professionalism.
The connection between leadership, school culture, and teacher professionalism is
mutually reinforcing, creating an educational environment that is supportive,
collaborative, and focused on enhancing the quality of teaching and learning. This study
recommends strengthening transformational leadership as a strategic approach to
elevate the quality of madrasah education.
