The purpose of this study was to determine the role of learning management as a soft skill in enhancing the professionalism of teachers in Central Maluku, Indonesia. We conducted a descriptive quantitative approach. Selected participants (N=40) involved filling out a closed-questionnaire (35 favorable questions). Then, we examined our hypotheses using the Wald- Wolfowitz run test. We found that learning management as a soft skill has a role in enhancing teacher professionalism. Particular measures of indicators had a greater impact than others, such as self-management and learning preparation. However, all indicators’ proportions remain in the high to very high category.
