Data collection using questionnaire instruments and data analysis using test instruments (validity and reliability testing), descriptive analysis, linear relationship analysts and path analysis. The results of this study indicate that the value of variable relationship is a positive number such as the transformational leadership relationship coefficient on teacher performance (X₁-Y) of 0.437, the transformational leadership relationship coefficient on teacher work discipline (X₁-X₃) is 0.908, the relationship coefficient of school work motivation on performance teacher (X₂-Y) of 0.292, the coefficient of teacher work motivation on work discipline (X₂-X₃) of 0.413, relationship coefficient of work discipline on teacher performance (X₃-Y) of 0.342, transformational leadership relationship coefficient indirectly through work discipline towards Teacher performance (X₁-X₃-Y) is 0.311 and the relationship coefficient of school work motivation indirectly through work discipline on teacher performance (X₂-X₃-Y) is 0.141. The results of the t-test show all the path variables sig t < α (0,05), meaning that there is a significant influence on all variable paths.The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant direct relationship between transformational leadership, work motivation towards discipline and teacher performanceand there is no indirect significant relationship between transformational leadership and work motivation towards discipline and teacher performance.
