This study aims to determine the influence of leadership and work motivation on the discipline of elementary school teachers in their job. The background of this research is based on the observation that teacher performance and discipline levels often fluctuate depending on the principal’s leadership style and the teachers’ internal motivation. This research employs a quantitative approach using a correlational design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to elementary school teachers and analyzed using multiple regression techniques. The results show that leadership and work motivation have a significant effect on teachers’ discipline, both partially and simultaneously. Effective school leadership encourages teachers to follow rules, complete tasks on time, and maintain responsibility for their duties. Meanwhile, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation supports teachers’ enthusiasm and consistency in carrying out their teaching job. The implications of this research emphasize that school principals need to develop democratic leadership and motivational strategies that strengthen teachers’ commitment to discipline, as discipline is a key factor in improving school quality and student outcomes.
