Abstract

Looking at phenomena and facts, the condition of education and access to education by the community is

increasingly difficult. So there is a need for comprehensive steps to overcome various educational problems in

Indonesia. Where the world of education must also be able to play an active role in preparing educated human resources

who are able to face various challenges of life both locally, regionally and internationally. It is hoped that students will

not only master theory. However, it is also able to apply it in social life. That is one alternative to overcome the problem

of education is through education that is oriented towards the formation of the soul entrepreneurship, namely the spirit

of courage and willingness to face life's problems and life naturally, the creative soul to find solutions and overcome

these problems, the soul is independent and not dependent on other people.

Effective leadership of an educational institution is a measure of the performance of a school principal. The

reason is that the school principal has a very strong role in coordinating, mobilizing, and situationally is important for

the principal in carrying out education management, such as the ability to carry out planning activities (planning),

organizing (organizing), briefing (acquiring), supervision (controlling), and evaluation (evaluating) to all operations

at the education unit level. Conceptually, a school principal is indeed someone who must: (1) have foresight (vision)

and know what action to take (mission) and understand how to do it (strategy). (2) has the ability to coordinate limited

resources to achieve goals (3) has the ability to make decisions quickly, precisely and accurately (4) has the ability to

mobilize existing resources to achieve goals and is able to inspire followers to do important things for goals school (5)

has the ability to combat ignorance, suspicion, not making decisions. A school principal in carrying out his duties to

make an effective school really needs help from all lines within the school.

The principal is the voice and desire of the teachers and employees he leads. As a superior, he has the

responsibility as the superior's right hand to guide the school, teachers, staff, and other school employees (Lazaruth,

According to Mulyasa (2018: 189) that "Entrepreneurship is talking about behavior that includes taking

initiative, organizing, and reorganizing social and economic mechanisms towards sources and situations of practice,

and acceptance of risk or failure. Therefore, entrepreneurship for school principals is an opportunity for school

principals to achieve future-oriented organizational success by continuing to develop efforts that can increase teacher

creativity and innovation in learning activities.

Principals are required to have the required competencies, such as personality competencies, managerial

competencies, entrepreneurial competencies, supervision competencies, social competencies (Permen Education of

National Education No. 13 2007). For students, the principal plays an important role in the quality of education in

schools, so that the abilities that must be possessed are in accordance with the needs carried out for the benefit of the

quality of education in schools (Damayanti & Effane, 92: 2022). This shows that the coaching and development of

conducted at Unggul High School, Pidie Jaya Regency on September 15 to 20 2022, it appears that school principals

have not fully mastered entrepreneurial competence. . However, in realizing a superior and quality school, it is not

enough just a school principal with all his abilities, but the important role of the teacher is also very determined.

Teachers are also expected to be enthusiastic in teaching and be able to balance with their personal affairs, related to

seeing the passage of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 14 of 2005 concerning teachers and lecturers to

make them realize how hard the task of a teacher is as an educator, teacher, mentor, director and many more burdens

at once very noble responsibility that must be borne.

Based on the explanation of the problem above, the researcher is interested and wants to find out more about

the contribution: "LeadershipEntrepreneurship Principal in Improving Teacher Welfare at Unggul State High School,

Pidie Jaya Regency."

3. Results and Discussions

To create innovations that are useful for school development, school principals must be able to understand

and be able to implement innovative programs to increase the effectiveness of the school. Based on an interview with

Mrs. (HS) as the Principal of SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya said that; "There is an innovation program at SMAN Unggul

Pidie Jaya school that has been going on, we are also planning something. Some of the programs that we are still

running today, for example, are collecting social funds from teachers, which later we will use the funds collected to

help support the welfare of teachers. For example, these funds are used for a teacher who is sick, a family or teacher

or gadget. There is one program that we are still planning, namely the holding of an expo at school, which later we

will exhibit at the exhibition expo, namely the work of students at SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya."

The researcher also interviewed the mother (CT) as the teacher at SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya, she said: "New

innovation programs held at schools are like extracurriculars in which the extracurriculars include sports, sewing,

dance, make-up and several others. . So with this program, teachers who are proficient in their extracurricular fields

will make a schedule according to what has been agreed with the students, and also with this program it can also help

a little for the welfare of the teachers."

Furthermore, the researchers also interviewed the mother (MA), one of the extracurricular coaches at Unggul

Pidie Jaya High School, according to her: "In my opinion, one of the innovation programs is active extracurricular

activities at school. So students don't only focus on subjects, but they can also nurture their talents according to the

The researcher also interviewed Mrs. (UY) as a teacher at Unggul Pidie Jaya High School, she said: "For

innovative programs that have been carried out and implemented for this school period, the innovative programs carried

out by the school are from school facilities and infrastructure that have been there are no labs, classrooms, bathrooms,

sports fields that really pay attention and really make it comfortable for children to study well in the sense that in

school, the principal has provided a new innovation, namely by providing projectors so that children being able to

learn visually both studying and exams well then with the labs that have now been submitted and processed, it is indeed

planning to be built that is also good for school graduates so they can continue being ready to accept new technologies

In addition to the above programs, the principal also organizes a canteen culture program for teachers who

are short on hours and also runs a school cooperative. In accordance with the results of the interview with Mrs. (HW)

teachers and also the principal has created a new program, namely running a canteen for teachers who lack hours and

school cooperative empowerment.

From the observations of researchers, there is indeed a difference in the competency of the school principal's

innovation program. If the principal places more emphasis on the use of IT, social funds andrewarst to outstanding

teachers as a form of innovation, in contrast to the teacher council, according to him the principal emphasizes the

principal's innovation more on current extracurriculars. In addition, the researchers observed the principal's innovative

programs in facilitating projectors in all classes as a support for teaching and learning activities and there was also IT

empowerment in schools.

more difficult to face various obstacles and challenges in achieving organizational goals.

The principal of SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya said that: "Initially the school canteen was managed by people

from outside the school, but after further evaluation now the school canteen is managed by honorary teachers who lack

working hours, so besides teaching the teachers also have other duties. In addition to managing the canteen, the income

from the canteen can also improve the welfare of honorary teachers at Unggul Pidie Jaya High School. However, even

though it is managed by the teachers, the school still works closely with the surrounding community, that is, the

community can still leave their wares in the canteen as long as the food is entrusted in accordance with existing

regulations. There are even some teachers who leave their wares in the school canteen and we allow that, as long as it

doesn't interfere with the main responsibilities of the teacher."

In addition to corroborating the principal's answer, the researcher interviewed other respondents with the same

questions addressed to the school principal. Researchers interviewed Mrs. (FR) as a teacher at SMAN Unggul Pidie

Furthermore, the researcher also interviewed Mrs. Rahmi as one of the teacher representatives who manages

the canteen at Unggul Pidie Jaya High School, she said that: "During the school canteen, which we named the healthy

canteen, we felt that there were new activities that we could do, because if remember that our teaching hours at school

are only a few, and with this canteen we can also add a little to our income every month. In this canteen, not only

outside entrepreneurs can deposit their wares, but teachers and also students who have an entrepreneurial spirit can

entrust their wares to this school canteen.

The researcher also interviewed Mrs. (DS), one of the craft teachers who teaches in class X, Mrs. (DS) said:

"Of course there is a healthy canteen here, so we craft teachers at school in craft subjects have a program to make

materials that can produce, for example like making sweet potato sticks. We invite the students to work with local

sweet potato stick traders to learn how to make these sweet potato sticks. Later, we will entrust the sweet potato sticks

SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya, where later these funds may be loaned to teachers who need it, as long as the teachers

follow the rules that are treated by the cooperative."

Furthermore, the researcher interviewed Mrs. (FT) as the head of the cooperative at SMAN Unggul Pidie

Jaya, she said: "It's true that we do have our own cooperative here, where members are required to deposit 20,000 each

month. Later these funds can also be used by members who need them, as long as they are returned in a timely manner.

We also initiate the money collected from the cooperative at the end of the semester or sometimes just before Eid,

depending on the member's agreement to buy sugar or syrup, which is distributed to all members of the cooperative."

The researcher also interviewed Mrs. (YL) as a member of the cooperative, she said: "As a member of the

cooperative, I feel a lightening of life while joining this cooperative, because every time before Eid, our members are

Furthermore, in the extracurricular field the principal said "The strategy we use to increase students' desire to

Jaya, Ibu (MH) as the art teacher saying "It is true that there was a visit from ISBI Aceh students to our school. With

this visit, we as art teachers really hope that the students can take the positive knowledge provided by the students, so

that the students of SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya can love their artistic abilities more.

For programs that have not run properly the principal says "The program that is not yet running and we are

still planning is regarding the expo exhibition at school, because this program will cost a lot of money and careful

preparation we still need to hold discussions about the expo exhibition program However, we are trying to make the

program run smoothly soon.

From the results of the information the researchers obtained, the principal understands a good strategy in

meeting the welfare of teachers at school, which strategy does not escape the characteristics of entrepreneurial

competence, namely that the principal must be able to make positive efforts in developing and managing existing

strategies to complete all the programs that have been planned, both programs held managed by the school and

programs that involve schools with outside agencies. Even though there is one program that has not run properly the

school principal is trying to run the program.

Furthermore, from the results of interviews, researchers can also conclude, with the existence of a principal's

strategy that is in accordance with entrepreneurial competence, teachers can feel more satisfying well-being. Later by

taking good care of the teacher's welfare, the burden on teachers outside of school can be partially reduced, so that

teachers are more enthusiastic about carrying out their main duties at school.

Having a strong motivation to succeed in carrying out its main duties and functions as a school manager, the

parents or guardians of students can in line with the learning program taught in schools. So it's not only teachers who

have to be responsible for their students, parents also have to participate. At least parents at home can supervise or

direct their sons and daughters to participate in school learning programs. Furthermore, we also work with several

institutions including the health center for children and also teachers, then with the closest PMI and there are also

several other institutions.

Furthermore, to support the statement from the school principal, the researcher also interviewed Mr. Rijal as

the teacher council at SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya, he said: "Schools often collaborate with external speakers, for

example schools often hold seminars or workshop followed by the teachers to support the knowledge of the teachers

at SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya."

From the results of the information that researchers have obtained, the principal understands the

characteristics of entrepreneurial competence, namely having strong motivation, the principal must be able to make

positive efforts to achieve the goals set, for example, the principal establishes a partnership relationship with other

parties, both internal and external to the school . Internal Partnership ; for internal partnerships to work together with

parents through the school community to overcome programs that are not running well by holding seminars for parents

and daughters to participate in school learning programs. External Partnership ; for external partnerships we establish

partnerships with several institutions, including; Puskesmas in the field of children's health, PMI and other institutions.

From the results of interviews with the teacher council for the ability of the principal to have strong

any teachers who want to add to their knowledge. From interviews with the teacher council, the authors can also

conclude that the principal is also very open and close to the teachers, so that every year the teachers of SMAN Unggul

Pidie Jaya always have a picnic together.

One of the competencies of leadership entrepreneurship is the courage to take risks in taking advantage of

opportunities so as to achieve a goal. Of course, in every program or agenda that someone has planned, there must be

obstacles to overcome. Likewise with the principal of SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya. With the emergence of new obstacles,

a leader must think critically about the challenges faced in accordance with existing competencies in leadership.

teacher, for example, the teacher's domicile is far away, because the distance between the teacher's domicile and the

school is far away, the process that takes place at school is hampered, because of that there are several teachers who

are not married, I suggest becoming a teacher. dormitory at school, considering that our school is treated as a dormitory.

I gave this advice to teachers, of course, to make it easier for teachers to carry out their duties.

Furthermore, the author also interviewed Mrs. (FT) as a teacher at SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya, she said: "The

obstacle we face is the lack of complete facilities or infrastructure at school, so that our work at school is often

hampered. Of course we have discussed this problem with other teachers and hopefully, it will be resolved soon.”

Furthermore, the author also interviewed Mrs. (RK) as the teacher board of SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya, she

said: "Indeed, the main obstacle that occurs in schools is the lack of adequate facilities, but not only this, the low

participation of school environment residents is also a serious obstacle. , where there are a number of teachers who

SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya has implemented entrepreneurship competence regarding taking risks against a challenge

will immediately hold a meeting to resolve the problem.

Discussion

Based on the results of observations and interviews with the principal and the teachers of SMAN Unggul

Pidie Jaya, the authors see that the principal has been able to apply a leadership styleEntrepreneuship at the school.

Such as the innovation program programmed by school principals, the strategies used by school principals, the

motivation of school principals and the principal's solutions when facing obstacles that occur in schools.

The Principal of SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya already has quite good innovation qualifications in the welfare of

school organization must be able to create new things to develop the school he leads, in this case the principal also

plays the role of being an innovator. The competence to create innovation must continue to move according to the

times and the times that exist at that time. The principal of SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya in his leadership also follows the

times and the current era, namely the digital era, so all planning and programming uses IT and internalization. It can

be seen from the teachers who started teaching using laptops and projectors as well as exams that have been carried

out using computers or gadget.

Furthermore, the principal implemented several innovative programs, one of which was the collection of

social funds from teachers, these funds were collected for the welfare of teachers. If in the future one of the teachers

needs assistance in the form of funds or otherwise, the school can help from these funds. With this program, we can

conclude that the Unggul Pidie Jaya High School has implemented one of the new innovation programs that are being

be more comfortable carrying out their duties, so that all programs that have been planned can run effectively. In

addition to the programs above, the principal has also carried out knowledge entrepreneurship very well, this can be

seen from the operation of cooperatives and canteens in schools. The school principal has issued his entrepreneurial

knowledge, especially in the development of the school canteen. The school has collaborated with teachers and

business units from outside to run the canteen.

at SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya.

The Principal of SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya has a fairly good qualification of entrepreneurial instinct in the

welfare of teachers, this is shown by the results of interviews, observations and documentation, it turns out that the

researchers did. To realize the above, the principal must lead and manage the school as well as possible. Looking for

employees, because one measure of the success of a school principal is when he can bring about the welfare of his

teachers and staff. The entrepreneurial instinct of the school principal can be seen from the management of the canteen

which was previously managed by outsiders, now it can be managed by the school itself. Of course, this is an advantage

for the school because with the management of the canteen, honorary teachers who are short on hours can hone their

entrepreneurial instincts. existence of the canteen, so as to improve the welfare of honorary teachers at SMAN Unggul

Pidie Jaya.

The entrepreneurship program held at SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya school also has a positive impact on students

who will be able to hone their entrepreneurial instincts through a curriculum program implemented at school, where

the results of the program can be marketed in the school canteen. With these activities students can accommodate

entrepreneurial knowledge and gain new experiences from their activities. Furthermore, besides the canteen, the

make it easier for teachers who do not yet master IT to be able to understand these new sciences.

The principal has also made every effort to invite external support institutions to run school innovation

programs effectively, this will certainly have a positive impact on students and teachers, because not only students but

teachers will also gain knowledge. Of the several programs that have been planned by the school principal, of course,

there are still programs that have not gone as desired, namely the holding of expo exhibitions at schools, according to

the results of observations and interviews this has not been able to work because there is still a need for deliberation

by the principal with all employees at SMAN Unggul Pidie Jaya, because the planned program is a relatively large

activity, so the school must prepare a really mature plan.

programs. (2) building external partnerships by establishing partnerships with several institutions, including;

Puskesmas in the field of children's health, PMI around and other institutions.

The school principal also has sufficiently good motivational qualifications in the welfare of teachers, this is

shown by the results of interviews, observations and documentation, it turns out that the principal exceeds the existing

standards. This is evidenced from; list of certified teachers, list of teachers who have received scholarships, list of

teachers who have received reward because of achievement, a list of teachers who received uniforms, a list of teachers

who received health money, a list of teachers who received bonuses, a list of teachers who received basic food

packages. The author can also conclude factually that the principal has the competence to have strong motivation,

which is what the principal does as evidenced by the results of observations, interviews, and documentation that the

researchers did. The principal as a motivator is tasked with providing encouragement and support to all of his

functions as a school leader under his authority. In order for the principal to really have good motivation in carrying
