This study aims to analyze the effect of principals' leadership and work motivation on the performance of elementary school teachers throughout the Dabin II Karangtengah District. This study uses a quantitative approach, using the expo facto method with correlational techniques. The population in this study were elementary school teachers throughout the Dabin II Karangtengah sub-district totaling 100 people, then 80 samples were taken from population data using the proportional random sampling technique. The results of the hypothesis test show that there is a positive and significant influence between the principal's leadership and work motivation on the performance of elementary school teachers in Dabin II, Karangtengah sub-District by 66%. Increasing teacher motivation in working must be done because not all teachers have the motivation to carry out their duties. The smooth learning process can run smoothly if the teacher has work motivation on duty.
