Pengaruh Leader Member Exchange dan Efikasi Diri Terhadap Inovasi Guru Sekolah Dasar Kabupaten Lombok Barat

Abstract

Guru dituntut untuk terus berinovasi dalam peningkatan kualitas pendidikan secara menyeluruh. Inovasi yang dilakukan guru mencakup berbagai aspek dalam praktik profesionalnya. Kemampuan guru dalam berinovasi dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, termasuk efikasi diri dan kualitas hubungan profesional dengan kepala sekolah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh Leader Member Exchange (LMX) dan efikasi diri terhadap inovasi guru sekolah dasar di Kabupaten Lombok Barat. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan rancangan penelitian asosiatif. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 335 guru sekolah dasar yang dipilih menggunakan teknik proportionate stratified random sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket tertutup dan dianalisis menggunakan regresi linier berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa LMX dan efikasi diri secara simultan memberikan kontribusi sebesar 35,4% terhadap inovasi guru, dengan tingkat signifikansi sebesar 0,000. Secara parsial, efikasi diri memberikan kontribusi yang lebih besar dibandingkan LMX, yaitu masing-masing sebesar 57,9% dan 12,8%. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa persepsi guru terhadap kapasitas dirinya, serta kualitas interaksi profesional dengan kepala sekolah, memiliki peran penting dalam mendorong terciptanya inovasi dalam praktik pendidikan. Oleh karena itu, penguatan efikasi diri dan peningkatan kualitas kepemimpinan kolaboratif perlu menjadi prioritas dalam program pengembangan kompetensi guru.

The Influence of Leader Member Exchange and Self-Efficacy on The Innovation of Elementary School Teachers in West Lombok District

 Teachers are required to continue to innovate in improving the overall quality of education. The innovations made by teachers cover various aspects of their professional practice. The ability of teachers to innovate is influenced by various factors, including self-efficacy and the quality of professional relationships with school principals. This study aims to analyze the influence of Leader Member Exchange (LMX) and self-efficacy on the innovation of primary school teachers in West Lombok Regency. The approach used was quantitative with an associative research design. The research sample amounted to 335 elementary school teachers selected using proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected through a closed questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that LMX and self-efficacy simultaneously contributed 35.4% to teacher innovation, with a significance level of 0.000. Partially, self-efficacy made a greater contribution than LMX, which amounted to 57.9% and 12.8%, respectively. This finding indicates that teachers' perceptions of their own capacity, as well as the quality of professional interactions with principals, play an important role in driving innovation in educational practice. Therefore, strengthening self-efficacy and improving the quality of collaborative leadership need to be prioritized in teacher competency development programs.
