Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji dan menjelaskan pengaruh servant leadership dan kompetensi pedagogik guru terhadap kinerja guru, baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung melalui budaya mutu, pada sekolah dasar swasta di Kota Serang. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain survei. Data primer dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner berskala Likert lima poin yang disebarkan kepada 200 orang guru dari 13 sekolah dasar swasta di Kota Serang, yang dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling dan dialokasikan secara proporsional pada tiap kecamatan. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif metode three box dan Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) dengan bantuan perangkat lunak SmartPLS. Seluruh butir instrumen dinyatakan valid dan reliabel. Hasil pengujian model struktural menunjukkan bahwa servant leadership dan kompetensi pedagogik guru berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap budaya mutu, dengan kompetensi pedagogik guru sebagai prediktor paling dominan. Servant leadership, kompetensi pedagogik guru, dan budaya mutu masing-masing berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja guru, dengan budaya mutu sebagai prediktor paling kuat. Budaya mutu juga terbukti memediasi pengaruh servant leadership dan kompetensi pedagogik guru terhadap kinerja guru secara signifikan. Model penelitian memiliki nilai kecocokan yang tergolong tinggi. Peningkatan kinerja guru pada sekolah dasar swasta memerlukan penguatan servant leadership kepala sekolah dan kompetensi pedagogik guru secara bersamaan, yang bekerja baik secara langsung maupun melalui penguatan budaya mutu sekolah sebagai mekanisme penghubung. Penelitian ini terbatas pada guru sekolah dasar swasta di satu wilayah kota, menggunakan desain potong lintang, serta hanya melibatkan tiga variabel utama sehingga belum menjangkau faktor lain yang berpotensi memengaruhi kinerja guru.
