Abstract

This research aims to achieve the following objectives: (1) to determine the effect of the managerial competence of school principals on school quality, (2) to assess the impact of school culture on school quality, and (3) to examine the combined influence of the managerial competence of school principals and school culture on school quality at SD Gugus Pattimura, Dawe District, Kudus Regency. A quantitative approach was utilized, employing correlational research to investigate the differences in influence. The study population comprised elementary school teachers in the Pattimura Group, Dawe District, Kudus Regency, totaling 50 individuals, with a sample size of 33 selected using proportional random sampling. Data analysis involved three stages: initial analysis (including data normality, heteroscedasticity, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and linearity tests), final analysis (comprising single and multiple regression tests), and determination analysis to quantify the contribution of independent variables to the dependent variable as a percentage. The findings of this study are as follows: (1) The managerial competence of principals positively and significantly impacts school quality by 69.1%, confirming the first hypothesis. (2) School culture has a positive and significant effect on school quality, accounting for 86.2%, supporting the second hypothesis. (3) The combined influence of managerial competence and school culture on school quality is both positive and significant, contributing 91.3%, thereby validating the third hypothesis.
