This research aims to empirically analyze and test the influence of the variables Empowering Leadership and Work Engagement on the Performance of Private Elementary School Teachers in Kalidoni District. The improvement of basic education quality is highly dependent on teacher performance, which is influenced by leadership and work engagement factors.

Sampling and data analysis techniques were conducted to test the hypotheses, including validity testing, reliability testing, descriptive analysis, and regression analysis (likely multiple regression, F-test, and t-test) to examine the partial and simultaneous influence of the independent variables (Empowering Leadership and Work Engagement) on the dependent variable (Teacher Performance). The research concludes that an empowering leadership style and a high level of work engagement are crucial factors contributing to the improvement of Private Elementary School Teacher Performance in Kalidoni District. The implication of this study is the importance for principals to implement a leadership style that provides autonomy and support to teachers, as well as the need for management strategies to enhance teachers' sense of ownership and dedication to their duties.
