Analisis Tipe-Tipe Kepemimpinan Dalam Meningkatkan Kinerja Koperasi Sekolah

Abstract

School cooperatives are an important medium for supporting economic learning and

character development among students through entrepreneurial activities. The

success of school cooperatives is strongly influenced by the role of leadership in

their management. This article aims to analyze the types of leadership in improving

the performance of school cooperatives. The method used is a qualitative

descriptive approach with a literature study based on various sources such as

books, scientific journals, and relevant previous research. The results of the study

indicate that each leadership style has a different impact on the performance of

school cooperatives. Transformational leadership is proven to enhance motivation,

innovation, and member participation through inspiration and individualized

consideration. Democratic leadership provides opportunities for participation in

decision-making, thereby increasing members’ sense of responsibility. Meanwhile,

transactional leadership contributes to improving discipline through a system of

rewards and punishments. Autocratic leadership accelerates decision-making

processes but may reduce member participation if not applied proportionally. In

contrast, laissez-faire leadership gives members freedom but may lead to a lack of

direction in management. Overall, transformational and democratic leadership are

considered the most effective in improving school cooperative performance as they

create a balance between motivation, participation, and innovation within the

organization.
