Abstract

This study aims to examine the contribution of digital-based principal leadership transformation in enhancing teacher performance in the Society 5.0 era. The process involved distributing structured questionnaires to 72 teachers from three public junior high schools in South Jakarta using a saturated sampling technique. The implementation was conducted over a three-month period. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The results indicate that digital leadership transformation significantly improves teacher performance, particularly in technology integration and instructional innovation. The findings imply that adaptive digital leadership plays a strategic role in strengthening teacher professionalism and advancing education management practices in the digital era.
