Agility leadership and its effect on motivation and discipline: A review of learning supervision during Covid-19

ABSTRACT

Increased work motivation and work discipline are still seeing as a significant problem in the work system of the State Civil Apparatus in Indonesia. This problem needs to be resolving immediately so that public services are in line with expectations. This research focuses on the application of agility leadership and its influence on work motivation and work discipline of the State Civil Apparatus. Several studies have been conducting to measure the effect of work motivation on the work discipline of the State Civil Apparatus. However, only a few studies have tried to scientifically identify agility leadership approaches concerning work motivation and work discipline. The study population was 122 teachers in Enrekang Regency, Indonesia, who lived in mountainous areas that were not reached by the internet during Covid-19. They carry out "teach from home"learning with communication information technology that requires an internet network. The results of this study found that agility leadership has been very well implemented, and the effect is very significant on the work motivation and work discipline of teachers through the supervision of the principal. To ensure the continuity of work motivation and work discipline of teachers still very well implemented, the leadership of the principal's agility is significant. Further research is expected to apply qualitative methods and approaches to meet the needs of reward and punishment. © 2021 Author(s).
