Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the level of sustainability leadership practices among headmasters of primary schools in the Klang district and the level of work performance of teachers in primary schools in the Klang district. The study also examines the relationship between the level of sustainability leadership practices among headmasters of primary schools in the Klang district and the level of work performance of teachers in primary schools. The sample for the current study is s=86, which are teachers from primary schools in the Klang district. The instrument of this study is divided into three main sections: respondents' demographics, sustainable leadership, and work performance. The level of sustainable leadership practices is at a medium level (M=3.26, SD=.593). Teachers' work performance level is at a medium level (M=3.59, SD=.381). A significant positive but weak relationship exists between sustainable leadership practices and teachers' work performance (r=.433). Therefore, the hypothesis, H₀₁: There is no significant relationship between the level of sustainability leadership practices among headmasters of primary schools in the Klang district and the level of work performance of teachers in primary schools, is rejected. This study is critical in understanding the factors that influence teachers' performance in primary schools in Malaysia. This study is significant because it contributes to the field of study. Future research in this area can use the findings reported to understand the phenomenon further
