Transformational leadership in school plays an important role in mobilizing guidance and counselling teachers to face the changes that occur in the organization. The field of work and the environment of guidance and counselling teachers in schools which are increasingly complex have an impact on job satisfaction. This study aims to determine the relationship between the principal's transformational leadership and the job satisfaction of guidance and counselling teachers. The principal's transformational leadership variable involves four dimensions namely charisma, intellectual stimulation, individual consideration, and inspirational motivation while the job satisfaction of guidance and counselling teachers involves six dimensions of physiology, safety, relationship, facility, welfare, and finance. This is a survey study using questionnaire. A total of 122 samples of counselling teachers were selected randomly for the study. Data analysis was performed using SPSS Version 26 involving Pearson correlation. Pearson's correlation analysis shows that there is a significant positive relationship between the principal's transformational leadership and the job satisfaction dimensions of guidance and counselling teachers, namely physiology, safety, relationships, welfare, and finance, while there is no relationship with the facility dimension. The implications of the study show that the principal's transformational leadership can increase job satisfaction among guidance and counselling teachers as well as improve quality guidance and counselling services in schools.
