| Every school aims to achieve a high level of student performance. The role of the headmaster in the school is decisive in achieving this goal, while the teacher's motivation is one of the factors that contribute to student performance. Despite the fact that United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a high literacy rate and its people are educated, the achievement of students in UAE primary schools is still unsatisfactory when compared to developed countries. Student performance in all subjects is moderate based on international education databases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the influence of the headmaster's servant leadership and teacher_s motivation on student performance. This study used a quantitative research approach with a survey method. SPSS was used to conduct descriptive and referential data analysis. Data collection was conducted on a sample of 382 teachers in primary schools in Sharjah. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire adapted from several sources. The sample was determined using simple random sampling. The results of the analysis showed that headmasters' servant leadership practice (mean=3.60), teacher motivation (mean=3.56), and student performance (mean=3.29) were at a moderate level. There was a significant and positive relationship between the headmaster's servant leadership and student performance (r=0.581) and between teacher motivation and student performance (r=0.573). There was no difference in teacher motivation based on gender. Servant leadership of the head teacher was found to have a 33.7% influence on student performance, while teacher motivation had a 32.8% influence on student performance. This study concluded that there was an influence or servant leadership and teacher motivation on the performance of primary school students in Sharjah. The implications of the study require the UAE Ministry of Education to design a variety of servant leadership skills training for future headmasters and also increase motivational programs for current and future teachers to help schools improve the performance of school students in Sharjah._ _ _ _ |
