The Effects of Principal Learning Leadership, Work Culture, and Job Satisfaction on Teacher Performance in The State Elementary School in East Banjarmasin Sub-District

Abstract

The teacher performance is determined through competency, including planning, assessing teaching and learning, mastering learning materials, processing, and implementing. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the direct and indirect effect of principal learning leadership, work culture, and job satisfaction on teacher performance at the State Elementary Schools in Banjarmasin Timur Sub-District. A quantitative method and correlation technique was applied to 14 schools with 340 teachers. A random sampling technique was further applied to the total number of teachers collected, producing a sample size of 184 respondents. The data collected from respondents through a questionnaire was then analyzed using descriptive, classical assumption test, multiple linear regression, and path analysis. The results showed that the regression coefficient of principal learning leadership (X1) on teacher performance (Y) was 0.167 and 0.361 on job satisfaction(Z). Work culture (X2) on Job satisfaction was 0.330 and 0.266 on teacher performance. Job satisfaction on teacher performance was 0.486, while principal learning leadership (X1) and work culture through job satisfaction on teacher performance were 0.175 and 0.160, respectively. Based on the results, principal learning leadership, work culture, and job satisfaction directly affects teacher performance, while principal learning leadership and culture through job satisfaction indirectly affect the teacher performance. Subsequently, school principals should have time with teachers to create a comfortable working environment that improves their performance. This will allow teachers to effectively determine quality learning resources or media, provide feedback for students’ progress, and draft materials for further learning. However, future research should use more variables to analyze teacher performance in depth.
