Teachers' performance determinants (quantitative approach to the middle school teacher performance in Salatiga)

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influence of principal leadership and organizational commitment on teacher performance. This study uses quantitative research and questionnaires as data collection instruments. Purposive sampling was used with a group of 100 mathematics teachers from Salatiga's State Junior High Schools. This research employs a multiple linear regression model to determine the magnitude of the independent variable's effect (principal leadership and job satisfaction) on the dependent variable (teacher performance). The findings indicated that principal leadership had a positive impact on teacher performance. Job satisfaction had a positive effect on teacher performance. Both principal leadership and job satisfaction affected teacher performance simultaneously.
