This study aims to analyze in depth the principal’s policies in improving teacher performance at public junior high schools (SMP Negeri) in Keluang District, Musi Banyuasin Regency. The principal plays a strategic role as an educational leader who is responsible for directing, guiding, and developing human resources—particularly teachers—so that they can perform professionally in accordance with the demands of the Merdeka Curriculum. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis. The research subjects include principals, teachers, and school supervisors. The findings reveal that the principal’s policies to improve teacher performance are implemented through four main strategies. First, enhancing teacher competence through training, workshops, academic supervision, and continuous professional development activities. Second, implementing reward and sanction systems to foster motivation and discipline among teachers. Third, building a collaborative work culture through subject teacher discussions (MGMP), regular meetings, and reflective teaching activities. Fourth, strengthening participatory leadership by involving teachers in school planning and evaluation processes. These policies have proven effective in improving teachers’ sense of responsibility, creativity, and instructional innovation. Thus, the principal’s role as a transformational leader is crucial in creating a conducive work environment and fostering efforts to improve the quality of education at the junior secondary school level.

The performance of educators and education personnel is a key factor in determining student success and the reputation of educational institutions. This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership style, work discipline, and work environment on work motivation and performance among educators and education personnel at MTsN 3 Banyuwangi.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is a critical determinant of organizational productivity and competitiveness in the era of globalization and digital transformation. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to synthesize empirical findings on HRM strategies published between 2019 and 2024. The review identifies six key domains of effective HRM: competency-based recruitment, continuous training and upskilling, transparent performance evaluation, reward and incentive systems, workforce diversification and inclusion, and technology-enabled HRM. Evidence demonstrates that competency-driven recruitment reduces turnover and enhances job fit, while continuous training fosters innovation and adaptability. Transparent evaluation systems increase motivation and fairness, and balanced reward packages combining financial and non-financial recognition improve retention and engagement. Workforce diversification enhances problem-solving and innovation when paired with inclusive leadership practices. Technology integration, particularly HRIS and people analytics, streamlines processes and strengthens decision-making. Importantly, bundled strategies yield stronger productivity outcomes than isolated interventions, with improvements occurring through capability, motivation, and coordination pathways. The findings underscore the need for organizations to align HRM practices with strategic goals and global trends. This study contributes to HRM literature by providing evidence-based insights and offers practical guidance for managers seeking to enhance productivity in competitive environments.
