Self-Regulation Approach Supervision in Increasing Work Motivation of Principals

Abstract

This study aims to describe the process of self-regulation-based supervision in increasing the work motivation of school principals in Jambi province. Through a qualitative approach, this study involved three school principals as research subjects, namely: the Principal of SMP Negeri 1 Tebo, SMP Negeri 1 Batanghari, and SMP Negeri 1 Muaro Jambi. All data obtained and discussed in this study are qualitative. Based on the data that has been obtained and the description of the discussion above, it can be concluded that supervision with a self-regulatory approach can be carried out well by supervisors by having a positive impact on the principal, namely increasing work motivation. However, in addition to the advantages, supervision with this approach also has drawbacks, therefore, during the implementation of supervision with a self-regulatory approach, supervisors should be able to consider various factors related to the implementation of supervision using this self-regulatory approach can run more effectively. Theoretically, supervisors using this self-regulation approach can be used as an alternative by supervisors in increasing the work motivation of school principals to improve the quality of education.
