The Relationship Between Visionary Leadership, Principal Resilience, and Instructional Innovation and The Work Quality of Junior High School Teachers in The 3T Region of Bokan Kepulauan District

This study examines the relationship between visionary leadership, principal resilience, and instructional innovation and the work quality of junior high school teachers in the 3T (Frontier, Outermost, and Disadvantaged) region of Bokan Kepulauan District. The study is grounded in the objective conditions of 3T areas, which face significant challenges, including limited infrastructure, restricted access to information, and inadequate educational resource support. These constraints highlight the need for adaptive, resilient, and innovative school leadership to enhance teachers’ professional performance. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed to measure the relationships among variables empirically. The population consisted of 99 junior high school teachers in Bokan Kepulauan District, with a sample of 74 teachers selected using the Harry King Nomogram technique. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Descriptive statistics were used to present the data characteristics, while inferential analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics. The findings reveal that visionary leadership has a positive and significant relationship with teachers’ work quality. Principal resilience also shows a positive and significant relationship, particularly in addressing educational challenges in 3T regions. Instructional innovation is similarly associated with significant improvements in teachers’ work quality. Collectively, these three variables make a significant contribution to variations in teachers’ work quality. Strengthening visionary leadership, enhancing resilience, and fostering continuous instructional innovation are therefore essential strategies for improving teacher performance in 3T areas.
