Confirmation path analysis was used to analyze the data using lisrel software. Results The results showed that servant leadership and team cohesion have a positive effect on teachers' team performance at the level of 0.05; Servant leadership due to team cohesion has a positive and significant effect on the variable of team performance of teachers at the level of 0.05; Also, the variables of servant leadership and team cohesion were able to explain 20% of the variance of teachers' team performance.
