This study aimed to analyze the influence of principal leadership, work motivation, and workload on teacher performance in public junior high schools in Pati Regency. The study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey design. The population consisted of teachers of public junior high schools in Pati Regency, while the sample was determined using proportional random sampling techniques. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires that had passed validity and reliability testing. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests, and multiple linear regression analysis assisted by SPSS. The results revealed that principal leadership, work motivation, and workload simultaneously had a significant effect on teacher performance. Principal leadership and work motivation showed positive and significant effects on teacher performance, whereas workload had a negative and significant effect. The coefficient of determination indicated that 65.8% of teacher performance variance was explained by the three independent variables. Principal leadership was identified as the most dominant variable affecting teacher performance. These findings confirm that strengthening instructional leadership and improving teacher motivation are essential strategies to enhance teacher professionalism and educational quality. The study contributes theoretically to organizational behavior theory and transformational leadership theory in educational management contexts.
