inferensial. The purpose of descriptive analysis is to describe the data characteristics of mean, median, mode and
variance. Inferential analysis is used to test requirements analysis includes: data normality test and regression
linearity test. Theoretical model fit test is used goodness of fit test by using Chi Square. And to test the hypothesis used path analysis. The result of the research shows a theoretical model or a fixed model that describes the structure of causal relationships between variables of organizational culture, knowledge of educational management, work motivation, job satisfaction and performance of Elementary School principals.
