adapt to the era of globalization. Traditional leadership styles are felt to need to be updated with
appropriate leadership styles, namely e-leadership that can improve teacher performance. However,
the limited ability of the principal in mastering Technology, Information and Communication is an
obstacle even though this is the basis for e-leadership. The government program was launched on
digitalization of education where the government will prepare schools and education actors to
organize digital-based learning to welcome the digital era. The problem lies in the competence of
human resources who are incompetent in facing the digitalization of education and also other
obstacles. The objective of this study should be to determine the extent to which e-leadership
influences teacher performance quality. This is quantitative descriptive study, and the instrument is

analysis. The data's validity is determined by its dependability and validity. The findings revealed
that e-leadership had a beneficial impact on teacher performance. Path analysis reveals that the
factors of technology, information, and communication skill have a considerable impact on teacher
performance, with a positive connection direction.
