Abstract
The self-efficacy of teachers is increasingly affected by the reality of the challenges and burdens of tasks in the field of education today. There are studies showing that the practice of transformational leadership of head teachers can help to increase the level of self-efficacy of teachers. Hence, this study aims to identify the level of transformational leadership practices of head teachers and the level of teacher self-efficacy as well as the relationship between the transformational leadership of the head teacher and the self-efficacy of the teacher. The design of the study is a survey with a quantitative approach using a set of questionnaires in the form of 'google form' to collect data among a population of 290 people and a sample size of 167 teachers in Tuaran district through simple random sampling techniques. The reliability of the questionnaire is at the value of a=0.930. The findings confirm that the level of transformational leadership practices of head teachers in Tuaran district as a whole is at a very high level (mean=4.38 s.p=0.483) and the teacher's self-efficacy level are also at very high levels (mean=4.421, s.p=0.417). Pearson's Correlation Analysis showed that there was a significant relationship of 0.000 (p<0.01) between the transformational leadership of the head teacher and the self-efficacy of the teacher in a strong positive correlation r=0.601. The proposed of further study involves several districts with more respondents using a combined quantitative and qualitative approach to the findings of more comprehensive study to identify how and to what extent the level of transformational leadership practices of head teachers in improving the level of teacher self-efficacy.
