The results of the tests carried out with SPSS obtained multiple regression equations: Y = 10.857 + 1.084 X1 + 0.144 X2 + 0.232 X3, which means a constant value of 10.857 which indicates that if the principal's leadership, teacher attitudes and teacher competencies are assumed to be zero, then the value is zero. of the teacher's performance is equal to 10,857.
