The Indonesian education system is confronted with low-quality teaching, which has manifested low Teacher Competency Test (UKG) scores and incompetency among teachers. In Banjarmasin City, the UKG score in 2016 was 62.73, while, on average, the Teacher Performance Assessment (PKG) score was 49.148, which is 25.852 lower than the required minimum of 75.0. Existing pieces of literature have established the core role of school leadership in improving the quality of education offered in public institutions. The aim of the present investigation was to explore the synergistic impacts of the headmaster's leadership approaches and teacher motivation on performance among high school teachers from three schools in Banjarmasin City, Indonesia. A qualitative research framework was adopted, which entailed the utilisation of purposive sampling technique, semi-structured interviews, and thematic analysis, to collect and analyse data. The findings suggested that in the selected institutions, headmasters straightforwardly influence teachers' performance and motivation, through the provision of supportive governance. In addition, school leadership indirectly shape teachers' performance and morale through the moderating effect of school culture. © 2019, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
