1. INTRODUCTIONEducation is a very strategic vehicle in improving the quality of human resources which is a determinant of development. The implementation of education is an essential aspect to create quality human resources [1]. In-Law No.20 of 2003 on the national education system, article 4 contains "the purpose of national education aims to develop the potential of learners to become human beings who believe and believe in God almighty, noble, healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent and become citizens who are democratic and responsible in order to educate the life of the nation” [2], [3]. In the National Education System Law chapter II Article 4 which states: "National Education aims to develop the potential of learners to become human beings who believe, and believe in God almighty, noble, healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent and become democratic citizens and responsible in order to educate the life of the nation". The goal indicates that the establishment of quality human resources is a priority in Indonesian education. The large role of education in developing quality human resources in the concept order has not been fully realised. One of the crucial problems in the implementation of the education system today is improving the quality of education [4], [5]. School is an educational institution that must be appropriately managed to achieve the goals that have been set. The management requires the cooperation of all personnel in the school. The personnel directly involved in the school's education process are the principal, teachers, and school superintendents. "Efforts to realise the objectives of national education to date are still experiencing many obstacles, among others, derived from the human resources of education providers, both in quality and quantity including equitable distribution of educational personnel, limited facilities and infrastructure or limited socioeconomic capabilities of the state and society as well as ever-changing education policies” [6]. As well as the constraints that are sourced from the education actors themselves, the quality of education can not be separated from the support of staffing personnel to support the administrative process.” So many factors influence teacher performance, and they are internal and external. Internally the teacher concerns spirituality and externally concerns the way the headmaster manages the school's processes and the teachers' ability to be processed from the training [7]. “Teachers as the spearhead of education and teaching providers are the closest people to the students. Teachers' function and role in Teaching and Learning Activities (KBM) have a strategic meaning in achieving educational objectives. Therefore, teachers must be able to show work achievements and be able to carry out the tasks given by the manager (principal). Especially in carrying out the teacher's professional duties, namely educating, teaching, and training students so that they achieve satisfactory learning achievements” [8], [9]. "The headmaster is successful in understanding the existence of the school as a complex and unique organisation, and can carry out the role of the headmaster as someone who is given the responsibility to lead the school" [10]. Thus, the headmaster as the leader is very important in carrying out the management function to achieve the school organisation's objectives. It shows that the great expectations crush the role of the leader in the school or the headmaster's leadership in running the organisation's wheels as the person in charge of the organisation can integrate various activities and achieve the goals that have been set. Recognising the importance of a leader in a school held by a principal who is expected to play a significant role in achieving educational goals in schools is often the most responsible reason for the success or achievement of schools' educational goals [11], [12]. The balance between what is expected of a principal to the school's management and the contribution of the headmaster's ability to achieve the school's objectives does not always go according to reality. Spiritual intelligence is the intelligence to confront and solve the problem of meaning or value, namely intelligence to place our behaviour and life in the context of a broader and richer meaning, intelligence to judge that one's actions or way of life are more meaningful than others [13]. Spiritual intelligence is the intelligence of the soul that can help a person build himself whole. Spiritual intelligence does not depend on culture or values. It does not follow existing values, but creates the possibility to have its values." “A debate between IQ and EQ causes the emergence of spiritual intelligence. Therefore the term arises because IQ and EQ are seen as contributing only a portion of the determinant of one's success in life. Other factors play a role, namely spiritual intelligence, that emphasises more on the meaning of life and not just limited to the emphasis of religion alone” [14]. In order for potential skills and work skills, specifically for teachers, training is needed. In the educational environment (school) there are rides to build the ability and gain the latest knowledge, the rides are known as the deliberations of subject teachers (MGMP) and teachers working groups (KKG). In addition to MGMP and KKG, training activities are sometimes carried out outside the school, usually organised by (LPMP), the Education Office, the Ministry of Education and other relevant agencies. Such forms of training are sometimes through workshops, seminars, administration, meetings and workshops. MGMP or KKG is a vehicle or forum for professional activities of teachers of similar subjects or clumps of subjects conducted in the workshop and aims to discuss various issues related to quality improvement efforts, especially in the teaching and learning process. Training activities are essential and useful in improving skills, knowledge, attitudes and skills. Performance is defined as an achievement, achievements shown, work skills shown and activities that teachers can do in teaching. Formal performance can be seen through a work achievement assessment [15], [16]. The assessment of work achievement has the use to develop an organisation that is efficient and effective because with the assessment of work achievement can be obtained input that the organisation or school has the extent to reach the objectives of the organisation following the previous set, to formulate and take new policies and that are more adapted to the ability to achieve them. The success of teachers in organising education, among others, can be seen from the learning achievements of their students. 2. THEORETICAL REVIEWAccording to Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 14 of 2005 concerning Teachers and Lecturers: “teachers are professional educators with the main task of educating, teaching, guiding, directing, training, assessing and evaluating learners in early childhood education, primary education, and secondary education” [17]. Therefore, performance improvement needs to be done so that teachers can carry out their primary tasks properly. performance is a translation of the word "performance". Etymologically performance comes from the word "to perform" which means to display or perform. “Performance is output derives from processes, human or otherwise, i.e. performance is the result of a process performed by man” [18]. A teacher's task is burdensome and complete so that in order for the teacher to work correctly, it needs to be analysed about the factors that influence and what policies need to be taken so that the teacher's performance can increase. “Teacher performance is influenced by intrinsic factors of teachers (personal/individual) or HR and extrinsic factors, namely leadership, system, team, and situational” [19]. The ability is a thing that has been in us since birth. The ability that exists in human beings can also be called potential. The potential that exists in humans can basically be honed. In the Indonesian dictionary, ability comes from the word capable, which means power (can, can, do something, can have excessive wealth), in the great dictionary of Bahasa Indonesia. Ability is defined as ability or proficiency so that it can be said that ability is an ability to do something. Every employee, in general, is hoping for better skills through further education, but it will not come by itself if the employee in question does not attempt to develop his/her skills and knowledge through education, both formal education and non-formal education [20]. With increasing ability and knowledge, it is expected that employees can also improve the quality of their work. Managerial is related to the management of the organisation by managers. Therefore, the managerial ability is related to the ability of managers in leading the organisation. Managerial competence can be interpreted as the ability to manage resources through planning, organising, directing, and supervision activities to achieve organisational objectives effectively and efficiently [21], [22]. The headmaster, as the manager, must be able to perform the functions of education management well. The headmaster's managerial problems are related to the limited resources, both physical and non-physical, making it difficult for the headmaster to perform good school governance. At the same time, institutional problems are related to internal problems that arise, both after the possession of resources and the limitations of resources. These problems if left will be difficult to make the school better. Therefore, the headmaster must respond by managing the education personnel properly [23]. Training means the process, the way, the act of training; activities or coaching work. Training is a series of individual activities in systematically improving skills and knowledge to be able to have professional performance in their fields [24], [25]. Training is a learning process that allows employees to carry out the work that is now following the standards. Training is the process of systematically changing employee behaviour to achieve organisational goals. Training is related to the skills and ability of employees to carry out the current work. Training is used to address low teacher skills. Training programs must be provided based on need. The type of training that is programmed must match what types of abilities are still low. The training will take place optimally if designed according to the needs, methods and the right time [26], [27]. The word spiritual comes from the Latin word "spirit" which means 'spritus" which means breath, from English it is called "spirit" which means pure, and spirit. Spirit, in general means the power of power that animates and moves. In modern terms, it refers to the energy of life, commonly called 'non-physical' which includes emotions and characters. According to Vitale, "Spirit is that which is traditionally believed to be the vital principle for animating force within living beings". It means that the soul is a hereditary belief that is an important beginning to bring to life the power of life. From the spiritual world comes the word spirituality. The understanding of many people that spirituality is only related to spirituality or things that show the righteous's various activities to obtain holiness and salvation in the hereafter [28]. Based on the word "spirit", spirituality can be interpreted as a force that gives a person or group endurance in maintaining and developing their life. Thus, it appears that spirituality generally refers to spiritual matters (problems of the afterlife) and human life in all fields, both social, economic, and political culture and others. Spirituality is man's consciousness and attitude in striving to maintain his life to achieve reasonable life goals. 3. RESEARCH METHODThe method used is the quantitative method where Quantitative Research is a research method that is more towards the aspect of objective measurement of social phenomena. Quantitative research is a type of systematic, structured type, composed steadily from the beginning to the end of the research, and tends to use statistical figures analysis. The type of research carried out is verification with the explanatory approach. Verification research with explanatory is a research that is in the form of testing the results of rational thinking whose truth is temporary (hypothesis) that analyses a status of a human group, an object, a condition, or an event in the present by knowing the problem and obtaining justification for significant influence. 4. RESEARCH AND DISCUSSION RESULTSTo test the instrument used, it is necessary to test the validity and reliability in validity testing, and the result shows that the instrument is said to be valid if r calculates more than r table in this test for the amount of data as much as 20 then obtained r table of 0.444.

Based on the test results above, it appears that the linearity significance value is less than 0.0 so it can be concluded that the relationship of free variables with performance is linear. Table 8: Correlation Analysis
The SPPS calculation above shows that: a) The coefficient of managerial ability correlation with training is 0.625. It shows that the degree of density between managerial ability variables and training is positive and is in a strong category. Sig value. (2-tailed) of 0.00, where it is less than 0.05, shows that the correlation between the two variables is very significant; b) The coefficient of managerial ability correlation with spiritual intelligence is 0.476. IT shows that the degree of density between managerial capability variables and spiritual intelligence is positive and moderate. Sig value. (2-tailed) of 0.00, where less than 0.05, shows that the correlation between the two variables is very significant; c) Coefficient of managerial ability correlation with the performance of 0.690. It shows that the degree of density between managerial capability variables and performance is positive and is in a strong category. Sig value. (2-tailed) of 0.00, where less than 0.05 it shows that the correlation between the two variables is very cynical; d) Correlation coefficient of training with spiritual intelligence of 0.506. this shows that the degree of density between managerial and training capability variables is positive and moderate. Sig value. (2-tailed) of 0.00, where less than 0.05 it shows that the correlation between the two variables is very cynical; e) The correlation coefficient of training with performance was 0.691. It shows that the degree of density between managerial ability variables and training is positive and is in a strong category. Sig value. (2-tailed) of 0.00, where less than 0.05, shows that the correlation between the two variables is very cynical; dan f) The correlation coefficient of spiritual intelligence with performance was 0.614. It shows that the degree of density between managerial ability variables and training is positive and is in a strong category. Sig value. (2-tailed) of 0.00 where less than 0.05 it shows that the correlation between the two variables is very cynical. Table 9: Determination Test Results
Based on the above processing results, the coefficient of determination of R Square of 0.642 or 64.2% was obtained. It indicates that the considerable influence of free variables (managerial ability, training and spiritual intelligence) on bound variables (performance) was 64.2% and the rest was influenced by other variables not included in this study. Table 9: Test Result F
Test result F shows a significance value (Sig.) of 0.000. It means that free variables (X1, X2, X3) affect bound variables (Y). Table 10: Test Result t
Constant of 0.134 if the variable managerial ability (X1), training (X2) and spiritual intelligence (X3) is 0, then the performance of teachers in SMP Negeri 1 Rantepao is 0.134. The coefficient of managerial ability variable regression of 0.357 means that every increase or decrease in each unit's managerial ability will increase or decrease in the performance of SMP Negeri 1 Rantepao by 0.357 units assuming the variables of Training and Spiritual Intelligence are fixed in value. A positive value indicates that with the increasing variable managerial ability, then the performance is increasing. The regression coefficient of training variables of 0.340 means that every increase or decrease in each unit's training will increase or decrease in the performance of teachers of SMP Negeri 1 Rantepao by 0.340 units assuming the Managerial variable ability and spiritual intelligence of fixed value. Positive values indicate that the increasing training variables, the improved performance. The regression coefficient of spiritual intelligence variable of 0.314 means that every increase or decrease in spiritual intelligence per unit will increase or decrease in the performance of teachers of SMP Negeri 1 Rantepao by 0.314 units assuming the variable Managerial Ability and Training value remains. Positive values indicate that the increasing variables of spiritual intelligence, the more performance increases. Based on the above results, it appears that the managerial capability variable has the largest regression coefficient of 0.357. It shows that the headmaster's managerial ability influences teachers' performance at SMP Negeri 1 Rantepao. It means that: a) The value t calculates the managerial capability variable of 3,323 where it is more than 1,671. So that H0 is rejected, and Ha is accepted meaning that individually the variable managerial ability is based on the performance of teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Rantepao; b) The value t calculates the training variable of 3,070 where it is more than 1,671. So H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, meaning that individually the training variables affect teachers' performance at SMP Negeri 1 Rantepao; dan c) T value calculates managerial capability variable of 2,932 were more than 1,671. So H0 is rejected, and Ha is accepted, meaning that individually the variables of spiritual intelligence affect teachers' performance at SMP Negeri 1 Rantepao. 5. CONCLUSIONSThis study's conclusion is as follows: a) Value R or correlation value between managerial capability variable with the performance of 0.690 so that it is based on a strong category. R Square or a coefficient of determination value of 0.476. It means that the percentage of managerial capability variable capability measure explaining the variation of performance variables is 47.6%. Based on simple linear regression analysis, it appears that the relationship pattern of both variables is linear and positive meaning that if the managerial ability value increases, then the performance of teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Rantepao will increase; b) The correlation value between training variables and performance is 0.691 so that it is in a strong category. R Square or a coefficient of determination value of 0.478. It means that the percentage of training variable capability size explaining the variation of performance variables is 47.8%. Based on simple linear regression analysis, it appears that the relationship pattern of the two variables is linear and positive meaning that if the training value increases, then the performance of teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Rantepao will increase; c) Value R or correlation value between spiritual intelligence variable and performance of 0.614. It also appears that the value of R Square or the coefficient of determination is 0.377. It means that the percentage of the measure of spiritual intelligence variable capability explains the variation of performance variables is 37.7%. Based on simple linear regression analysis, it appears that the relationship pattern of the two variables is linear and positive meaning that if the value of spiritual intelligence increases, then the performance of teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Rantepao will increase; dan d) R Square determination coefficient of 0.642 or 64.2%. It indicates that the extensive influence of free variables (managerial ability, training and spiritual intelligence) on bound variables (performance) was 64.2% and the rest was influenced by other variables not included in this study. Referring to the results of double linear regression analysis, it can be concluded that managerial ability, training and spiritual intelligence have a significant and positive effect on teacher performance at SMP Negeri 1 Rantepao, meaning that if managerial ability, training and spiritual intelligence improve then the performance of teachers at SMP Negeri 1, Rantepao will increase.
