Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of work culture at State Junior High School 1 and 2 Kuala Kampar, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and examine strategies to overcome challenges. Conducted qualitatively from September 2024 to January 2025, the research utilizes in-depth interviews with principals, teachers, staff, and parents, supplemented by observations and documentation. Data analysis follows the Miles and Huberman Model (2019), comprising data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Work culture is fostered through leadership, discipline, open communication, performance recognition, and moral reinforcement. Key enablers include strong leadership, staff commitment, and community support, while challenges involve student discipline, workload, resource constraints, and communication barriers. Addressing these factors is essential for sustaining a positive work culture.
