local community and establish close cooperation
between schools, the community and the government.
The implementation of regional autonomy as
regulated in Law no. 23 of 2014 concerning Regional
Government means acknowledging the existence of
an autonomous region and at the same time
acknowledging/handing over authority, rights and
obligations to manage government affairs in certain
fields from the government to the regions. It also
includes various possibilities for the management and
development of the education sector, in which there is
a change in the management of education from a
centralized to a more decentralized nature.
Decentralization is the surrender of government
authority by the government to autonomous regions to
regulate and manage government affairs within the
system of the Unitary State of the Republic of
Indonesia. As a system used in the field of
government is the opposite of centralization, where
some of the central government's authority is
delegated to other parties to be implemented. In the
context of the implementation of regional autonomy,
it is emphasized that the national education system
which is centralized so far does not encourage
democratization and decentralization of education
administration. This is because a centralized
education system is admittedly unable to
accommodate regional diversity, school diversity, and
student diversity, and even tends to kill community
participation in educational development.
School-based management is a distinctive term in
the science of education management in Indonesia.
This term is an actual problem that is hotly discussed
by activists in the field of education, be it teachers,
parents, school principals, stakeholders, education
experts, and others.
School-based management focuses that the school
has the right to autonomy in carrying out its school
management. Especially in terms of human, financial,
and material resources in schools. School-based
management is a school management model that
provides schools with considerable autonomy in
encouraging decision-making by involving the direct
participation of all school members, such as teachers,
students, principals, school staff, parents and the
surrounding community in an effort to improve
school quality. based on national education policy.
Based on the pre-survey that the author
conducted on August 9 to 12 in several Public
Middle Schools in Padang City, it can be seen that
the implementation of school-based management
has not been optimal. This can be seen from the
following phenomena: 1) Lack of management in
accepting new students. This can be seen from the
presence of new students who are accepted even
though their age has not met the specified limit. In
addition, new students are still being accepted even
though they have passed the predetermined
registration limit; 2) Lack of management of
facilities and infrastructure managed by schools, so
that school performance in the eyes of the
community (stakeholders) is still lacking. This is
evidenced by the existence of facilities and
infrastructure that have been inventoried but the
school did not inform stakeholders. So that school
stakeholders do not know about the inventory of
these facilities and infrastructure. 3) There are still a
number of schools that do not involve parents and
the community in implementing school education.
This can be proven from schools that only invite
parents and the community when increasing
grades/graduations in the form of meetings or
gatherings only.
The phenomenon seen above is an indication of
the lack of implementation of SBM as expected and
this certainly cannot be allowed to continue because
it will affect the achievement of the educational
function/vision and mission of the school. In order
to improve the implementation of school-based
management, it is necessary to study in advance
what factors influence or cause the implementation
of school-based management not to be carried out as
it should. One of the factors that has contributed to
the implementation of school-based management is
the leadership of the school principal, which based
on the results of the author's observation, it was
found that the principal in carrying out his
leadership tends to display rigid behavior, and is not
firm towards the rules that have been made.
In addition, there are other factors that also
influence the implementation of school-based
management, namely school culture. This is in
accordance with the opinion of Suratmin (2019) that
school culture is the dominant values supported by
the school or the philosophy that guides school
policies for all elements and components of the
school including education stakeholders, such as
how to carry out work in schools and the basic
assumptions or beliefs held by school personnel.
Therefore, school culture is very closely related to
the implementation of school-based management.
Teacher motivation plays an important role because
it drives and gives direction to learning activities in
the classroom. Strong learning motivation, a student
can have a lot of energy to do learning activities, and
providing the right motivation can make students
achieve optimal learning results. Teacher motivation
also strengthens school culture and builds
