Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of servant leadership in fostering a culture of innovation and work discipline among teachers at public elementary schools in Region V Mutiara, Pidie Regency. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that servant leadership promotes innovation and discipline by prioritizing others’ interests, building positive relationships, and supporting professional development. Strategies include effective communication, meeting teachers’ needs, providing resources, encouraging collaboration, setting examples, and enforcing time discipline. Challenges include resistance to change, limited resources, differing perceptions, lack of external support, and time constraints.
