INTRODUCTION
Education is one of the rights that must be owned by every person and is prioritized in human life, this is because education has an important role in the process of improving the quality of human resources (Ratnasari & Nugraheni, 2.

Teacher performance is very important to be considered and evaluated because teachers carry out professional duties, meaning that tasks can only be carried out with special competencies obtained through educational programs.
To improve teacher performance, the principal, in addition to being a good role model, must also be able to empower the teaching staff in the school he leads (Intan et al.
, 2.
Based on the Regulation of the Minister of Education Number 13 of 2007 concerning the standards of school/madrasah principals, it is emphasized that a school principal should have minimum abilities/competencies, namely: personality, managerial, entrepreneurial, supervisory, and social competencies (Permen-Diknas-No.

Management is the ability or skill of a person to produce something to achieve goals through the activities of others.
Management in education contains the meaning of managing all institutional needs in education where the components of the system and its subsystems are interrelated and influence each other which is reflected in a series of activities or work implementation processes by utilizing all available resources effectively, productively and efficiently in supporting the achievement of the goals of education itself (Pananrangi, 2.
Managerial comes from the word management, which means a process carried out so that a business can run well, requiring planning, thinking, direction, and arrangement, and using all existing potentials, both personal and material, effectively and efficiently (Prihatin, 2.
It is said to be a process because all managers, with their dexterity and skills, strive and utilize various interrelated activities to achieve goals.
Competence is a set of attitudes, knowledge, and skills that must be possessed, internalized, and mastered by students after studying a learning load, completing a program, or completing a certain educational unit (Daryanto, 2.
While a manager has the same relationship with management, which means implementing and regulating.
The word management comes from the Old French word management, which means "the art of implementing and regulating".
So it can be concluded that managerial competence is the principal's ability to organize and develop school resources to create an effective and efficient learning environment (Amri & Suwandi, 2.
According to (Mulyasa, 2.
, the principal's competence greatly affects teacher performance because the principal is a leader in the school, whose job is to provide guidance, supervision, and improve the abilities of the educational staff.
The competencies that the principal must possess are personality competence, managerial competence to develop the school well, entrepreneurial competence to have the motivation to work hard, supervisory competence in improving professionalism, and social competence.
Good school management is indicated by the presence of good principal management.
Managerial ability is seen in having a vision, coordination, interaction, communication, and accuracy in all aspects of education to develop a good school.
Currently, the managerial competence of school principals in Indonesia is in great need of serious attention, this is proven by the competency test conducted by the Ministry of Education and Culture in 2015, which was attended by 16633 school principals from various levels and periods of service.
