Abstract

This study aims to identify strategies for enhancing teachers’ creativity through the strengthening of transformational leadership, organizational climate, personality, and achievement motivation among private vocational high school teachers in Sukabumi Regency. A quantitative survey approach was employed using path analysis and the SITOREM method. A sample of 219 teachers was drawn from a population of 482 permanent foundation teachers across Sukabumi Regency. The findings reveal that transformational leadership, organizational climate, personality, and achievement motivation each have a significant positive effect on teachers’ creativity. Indirect effects were also found through mediating variables. The SITOREM analysis recommended targeted improvements in specific indicators of creativity, leadership, and motivation. The study concludes that synergizing leadership, conducive climate, stable personality, and strong achievement motivation optimizes teachers’ creativity.
