Various obstacles are faced in its efforts to achieve the goal. Economic turbulence, an increasingly aggressive competitor activity, and various other difficulties often make the goals to be achieved becomes uneasy, the same problems occur when organizations want to make changes to better fit with the environment development. Human Resources (HR) in organization is already familiar with the old way that would have are luctance to change. This is only among few other things since a new destination that wants to be pursued by the organization is still too vague, so that the employees are concerned such changes would only cause a variety of adverse impact on the interests of employees. In various situations like that, organizations need a leader who will perform the function of leadership. The leadership factor plays a very important role for leaders that will propel and steer the organization in achieving its objectives and task that is not easy. Being the leader of a task is not easy because he has to understand each different subordinate behavior. Subordinates are influenced in such a way so that they can provide dedication and participation to the organization effectively and 78 Journal The WINNERS, Vol. 17 No. 2, September 2016: 77-89 efficiently. Success or failure of efforts in achieving organizational goals depends on the quality of leadership. The function and role of a leader in an organization is to be responsible for motivating and giving direction to his subordinates. A leader who is capable of performing the leadership function and role effectively will affect the employees’ performance. Performance is the output generated by functions or indicators of a job or a profession in a given time. The term performance can also be used to show the output of the organization, tools, management functions (production, marketing, finance), or the output of an employee. Performance is the result of the synergy of a number of factors, among others are the organizational internal environmental factors, external environmental factors and employees’ or workers’ internal factor. The employees’ internal factors chime with the organizational internal environmental factors and the organizational external environmental factors. The synergy influences employees’ behavior in work then it affects employees’ performance. The employees’ performance then determines the performance of the organization. Factors that can be controlled and conditioned by the organizations’ leaders are organizational internal environmental factor and employees’ internal factor. The organizational external environmental factors are beyond the leaderships’ control. The task of the leadership is to control and to develop the internal environmental factor and the employees’ internal factor. Previous researches has stated that leadership variable affected employees’ performance positively and significantly. The role of a leader in encouraging employees to take the initiative, to take the risks, to stimulate the innovation, to familiarize themselves with the uncertainty, as well as to give working directions may affect teachers’ performance significantly (Abbas & Yaqoob, 2009; Handayani, 2010; Kiswanto, 2010; Warni, 2010; Sjafei, 2011; Walumbwa et al., 2011; Bello, 2012; Mehrabi et al., 2012). Leadership has a positive and significant relationship. The role and function of leadership applied in an organization will be able to generate high employee performance, so that the results of the implementation of the duties of employees will go in line with the work plan established by a leader (Glorianto, 2005; Nurwati et al., 2012; Paracha et al., 2012; Risqon & Purwadi, 2012; Soegihartono, 2012; Supendy et al., 2012; Parhusip, 2013; Suwandi & Sumarji, 2013; Shafie et al., 2013; Marpaung, 2014; Iqbal et al., 2015; Rasool et al., 2015). Other researches stated a different result, namely the study of Yusron (2010), stated that leadership did not affect partially and significantly on employees’ performance. Improving the quality of leadership alone will not affect employees’ performance, that is not accompanied by increasing other external factors, such as leadership figure of a leader itself.

Based on theoretical descriptions above, it can be formulated the framework of research presented in Figure 1. Independent Variable (X) Dependent Variable (Y) Figure 1 Framework Research The Relationship Between Leadership …… (Eka Sari Budihastuti; Arif Yusuf Hamali) 81  Based on the research framework in Figure 1, the research hypothesis can be formulated as follows: "It is predicated that there is a relationship between leadership and teachers’ performance significantly at State Vocational High School "X" Bandung." METHODS The method applied in this research is descriptive and associative research. Descriptive research is a research conducted to determine the value of an independent variable, either one or more variables without making comparisons, or connect between one variable with another variable (Sugiyono, 2011). Associative research is a research that aims to determine the relationship between two or more variables, and build a theory which may serve to explain, to predict, and to control a symptom (Sugiyono, 2011). Population is the generalization region consisting of the objects/subjects that have certain qualities and characteristics defined by the researchers to be studied and then to be concluded (Sugiyono, 2011). Population of this research is the employees at State Vocational High School "X" Bandung approximately 30 people. The sample is part of the number and characteristics possessed by this population (Sugiyono, 2011). Total population of 30 people which considered affordable by the researcher, then the entire population to be sampled in this research are 30 teachers of State Vocational High School "X" Bandung. Sample collection technique is a sensus technique or a saturated sample because the entire population to be sampled (Sugiyono, 2011). Data used in this research is primary source data and secondary data. Primary data is a collection of data done directly on the analyzed object to obtain the answers from the respondents. Secondary data is data obtained from organization, literature, and other information which considered relevant and supporting the research. Method used to collect data is closed system questionnaire. It means, for each question has been provided with the answer. Questionnaire used in this research is Likert scale. The scale is made by gradation from strongly disagree (score = 1) to strongly agree (score = 5). Analysis taken in this research is descriptive and associative. Descriptive analysis using a weighted analysis, and to find the standard weight value can be done by looking for the length of weight range. The standard weight value can be determined by looking for the length of weight range of five classifications, with the following steps: R (1) R R = 24 Description: R = the range of classification The weighting is divided into five levels based on the classification above, started from the lowest to the highest level with the long range above 24. The classification is the standard weight value generated as shown in Table 3. 82 Journal The WINNERS, Vol. 17 No. 2, September 2016: 77-89 Table 3 The Standard Weight Value Weight Value Category 30 – 53 Worst 54 – 77 Worse 78 – 101 Enough 102 – 125 Good 126 – 150 Best Analysis associative done to see how the relationship between independent variable (X) and dependent variable (Y), in this case the relationship between leadership and teachers’ performance at State Vocational High School "X" Bandung, by using the formula of Rank Spearman (Sugiyono, 2011) as follows: 1 ∑ (2) Where: rs = correlation analysis di = difference of two variable N = sample In this research, the test to the significance of correlation coefficient is not yet done because this research is census. Data analysis in this research for the calculations using SPSS software version 19. The next step is analyzing the correlation to see the relationship between leadership and teachers’ performance by using the analysis of Coefficient of Determination (CD) with the following formula (Riduwan & Kuncoro, 2007): CD = r2 x 100% (3) Correlation or cohesion of the relation between free variable and bound variable is classified by Riduwan and Kuncoro (2007) presented in Table 4 as follows: Table 4 Interpretation of Correlation Coefficient of r Value RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS The result of validity test on leadership variable (X) and teachers’performance variable (Y) statesthat all is valid, based on the criteria if the correlation coefficient or r count > 0,3 (Sugiyono, 2011) with a significance level of 5% ( = 5%) and v = n - 2 = 30 - 2 = 28, rvalue= 0,374, the point is Coefficient Interval Level of Relation 0,80 – 1,000 Very strong 0,60 – 0,799 Strong 0,40 – 0,599 Strong Enough 0,20 – 0,399 Weak 0,00 – 0,199 Very weak The Relationship Between Leadership …… (Eka Sari Budihastuti; Arif Yusuf Hamali) 83  valid.
