Education planning generally needs to be futuristic, flexible, and dynamic to determine the pattern of society and the expected profile of the nation and Malaysian citizens. The leadership brought by the principal can improve the school's excellence and student achievement. However, there are still principals who do not fulfill their responsibilities and roles as charismatic leaders because they prioritize administrative matters in the school. Therefore, this study aims to examine the influence of the principal's charismatic leadership on the motivation of teachers at Elite National Secondary Schools in Terengganu. There are several objectives in this study, the first is to identify the level of teachers' motivation, the second is to identify the principal's charismatic leadership level, the third is to examine the relationship between the principal's charismatic leadership and teacher motivation and the fourth is to identify the influence of the principal's charismatic leadership. This quantitative study uses a questionnaire instrument and a total of 83 respondents were selected using a simple random sampling method. Data obtained from research instruments were analyzed using SPSS to produce descriptive and inferential statistical findings. Cronbach's Alpha values for both questionnaires are .947 and .970. The findings of the study show that the principal's charismatic leadership and teacher motivation are at a high level. The analysis of the study found that there is a weak and significant positive relationship between the relationship between the principal's charismatic leadership and the teacher's motivation (r = .216, p = .050) and found that the principal's charismatic leadership has a significant positive influence on the teacher's motivation. This study proves that the increase in teacher motivation is based on the quality and leadership style of the principal. The implication of this study is a form of contribution regarding the role of charismatic leadership that can influence the motivation of teachers when performing their duties in school. In addition, this study is carried out as a contribution to the improvement of the education system and policy in Malaysia, especially focusing on the concept of charismatic leadership in education management.
