This study aims to determine the level of teacher satisfaction with the principal’s managerial policies at SMP IT Khazanah, located in Pujud Subdistrict, Rokan Hilir Regency. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach using a questionnaire consisting of 40 items, covering four dimensions: involvement in decision-making, reward provision, organizational communication, and resource management. The respondents were 18 permanent teachers, who represented both the population and the sample. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with SPSS version 25. The results showed that the overall level of teacher satisfaction was in the 'very high' category, with a mean score of 4.39. The dimensions of organizational communication (4.49) and involvement in decision-making (4.48) ranked the highest, indicating that the principal has successfully built communicative relationships and involved teachers in the policy-making process. The reward provision (4.34) and resource management (4.23) dimensions also received positive responses, although there is room for improvement, particularly in the transparency of the reward system and evaluation of resource utilization. This research provides empirical evidence supporting the idea that effective managerial practices by school principals positively influence teacher perceptions and satisfaction. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for school management policy formulation and the development of principal professionalism in integrated Islamic schools.
