Abstract

Currently, there are many changes taking place in the educational world.  This changes triggered by the pandemic, which required more learning activities to be conducted online.  The challenges faced by schools with these changes are the readiness of human resources (teachers) in digital-based learning, the challenge of strengthening communication networks and partnerships, etc. (Muqorobin, 2023).  These challenges require a figure who runs the school, namely The Principal, to be prepared to manage stress and have good self-leadership so that they can continue to produce productive performance.  Someone who produces innovative behavior is very important because they will encourage the environment to achieve the targets (Kusumaputri & Gustia, 2022).

In terms of gender, women generally overthink things, which makes them prone to stress (Ika, 2020).  Female worker often have a double responsibility (load) in their lives (Warastri, 2022).  In addition to the double load, another trigger of stress for female worker is the stigma attached to married female worker in society, who are considered irresponsible towards their families (Natadisastra, 2021).  In dealing with stressors, these school principals employ different coping strategies, one of which is to focus on resolving the negative emotions within themselves (Emotions Focused Coping) first.

This study was conducted by taking 58 female Principals at Muhammadiyah schools in Yogyakarta as research subjects.  From the measurements, it was found that 67.7% of Principals had a moderate level of self-leadership.  Meanwhile, for the Emotion-Focused Coping Strategy variable, the results showed that 71.6% of Principals had a moderate level of Emotion-Focused Coping Strategy.  And then, for the work performance, the result showed that 65,1% of Principals had a moderate level of Work Performance.
