This associative quantitative study with an ex post facto design examines the relationship between the principal's transformational leadership style, teacher discipline, and teacher work ethic at SD Negeri Tersangede 2, Magelang Regency, in 2026. The research population comprised eight teachers, all selected through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using five-point Likert scale questionnaires and analyzed through simple linear regression models. The statistical findings revealed that transformational leadership was positively and significantly associated with teacher discipline (R^2=0.522;p=0.043) and teacher work ethic (R^2=0.519;p=0.044). Given the constraints of the non-experimental design and small sample size, these statistical estimates reflect localized empirical associations rather than conclusive causal relationships. The novelty of this research lies in contextualizing transformational practices to address administrative burnout and digital reporting adaptation among suburban primary school teachers. These findings emphasize the practical necessity for school leaders to deploy intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration to nurture teachers' intrinsic commitment. ABSTRAK Penelitian kuantitatif asosiatif dengan desain ex post facto ini bertujuan menganalisis asosiasi antara gaya kepemimpinan transformasional kepala sekolah dengan kedisiplinan dan etos kerja guru di SD Negeri Tersangede 2 Kabupaten Magelang pada tahun 2026. Populasi penelitian mencakup 8 orang guru yang seluruhnya dijadikan sampel melalui teknik saturated sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner skala Likert lima poin yang dianalisis menggunakan regresi linear sederhana. Hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan transformasional terbukti berasosiasi positif terhadap kedisiplinan guru (R^2=0,522;p=0,043) dan etos kerja guru (R^2=0,519;p=0,044). Mengingat keterbatasan desain non-eksperimental dan ukuran sampel yang sangat terbatas, estimasi matematis ini mencerminkan keterkaitan empiris lokal dan bukan kausalitas mutlak yang dapat digeneralisasi luas. Kebaruan studi ini terletak pada kontekstualisasi kepemimpinan transformasional dalam mengatasi hambatan adaptasi digital dan beban administratif guru di sekolah dasar pinggiran. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya kepala sekolah mempraktikkan stimulasi intelektual dan keteladanan guna memperkuat motivasi intrinsik pendidik.
