Many honorary teachers who work in private Islamic schools play a significant role in the advancement of education in Indonesia. However, their welfare seemed to be neglected because of low compensation. This objective is to determine how transformational leadership style and compensation satisfaction influence the work motivation of honorary teachers. An explanatory research design using a set of questionnaires were employed. The primary respondents of this study are the honorary teachers working at private Islamic high schools in Gerung subdistrict. A total of 115 honorary teachers have taken part in this study, and the data given were analysed using SPSS version 26. The result findings showed a moderate, positive, and very significant correlation between the principal's transformational leadership style and compensation satisfaction (r=0.434 and p<0.01). It concludes that the principal's transformational leadership and compensation satisfaction contribute 13.1% to the work motivation of honorary teachers, and it is statistically significant at p<0.01. Therefore, it is recommended that school leaders should try to implement transformational leadership and not be too rigid. The government may come up with a minimum payment policy along with providing more financial assistance to enhance honorary teachers' work motivation, which in the end, will influence the quality of education.
