Abstract

Abstract

Communication and policy making can either increase or decrease performances. This study aims to measure whether communication and policy making have impacts on teachers’ performance. This research is a quantitative study using proportional random sampling technique. The research data were obtained through a questionnaire and were then analyzed by the t-test and multiple linear regression analysis. The research results showed that both communication and policy-making styles had a significant impact on teachers’ performance, and simultaneously the communication style and policy-making style had an impact on teacher performance by 71.1%. Thus, the strategic leadership of madrasa principals at the Islamic Elementary School level should be taken into account to formulate differentiation and diversification strategies of communication policies, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Keywords: assessment, communication skills, elementary school students.
