Abstract
Kepemimpinan kepala sekolah menjadi pondasi utama dalam membentuk kemajuan sekolah dasar, di mana pemimpin ini tidak hanya mengelola rutinitas administratif tetapi juga membangun lingkungan belajar yang mendukung guru untuk berkembang. Penelitian ini bertujuan merumuskan model kepemimpinan kepala sekolah yang integratif untuk meningkatkan semangat kerja dan kinerja guru sekolah dasar. Berangkat dari urgensi peran kepala sekolah sebagai penggerak ekosistem pembelajaran, studi ini menyoroti keterbatasan pendekatan kepemimpinan tunggal dalam menghadapi kompleksitas konteks pendidikan dasar. Penelitian dilakukan melalui kajian pustaka konseptual dengan menelaah 42 sumber ilmiah terpilih periode 2015–2025 yang relevan dengan kepemimpinan sekolah, motivasi guru, dan dinamika pembelajaran di SD. Analisis tematik menghasilkan sintesis tiga gaya kepemimpinan—transformasional, transaksional, dan situasional—yang kemudian dirumuskan dalam model ISL-TMP (Integrated School Leadership for Teacher Morale and Performance). Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan transformasional berperan sebagai penggerak motivasi, kepemimpinan transaksional memastikan struktur dan akuntabilitas, sementara kepemimpinan situasional menyediakan fleksibilitas adaptif sesuai tingkat kesiapan guru. Integrasi ketiganya menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang inspiratif, terstruktur, dan responsif, yang secara simultan meningkatkan semangat kerja dan kinerja guru. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa model ISL-TMP menawarkan kerangka holistik yang relevan diterapkan dalam kepemimpinan sekolah dasar di Indonesia.
