Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that teachers' work discipline is an important factor that affects their performance in carrying out their duties as educators. Work discipline is understood as a form of responsibility, awareness, and commitment to regulations, time, and professional duties, which is reflected in punctuality of attendance, compliance with school rules, completion of teaching equipment, and involvement in school activities. High work discipline also has a positive impact on the quality of learning, relationships with students, and the trust given by school leaders. Despite obstacles such as high administrative burdens and limited support systems, teachers still strive to maintain discipline through personal awareness and strong organizational cultural support. Therefore, teachers' work discipline is not only influenced by internal factors, but also highly dependent on leadership, school management, and the efficiency of the work system that supports the creation of optimal teacher performance.
