The data result showed that: (1)there are three variables which significantly have positive influence; competence toward work satisfaction, motivation toward work satisfaction, and motivation toward teacher’s performance;(2)one variable significantly have negative influence, that is creativity toward work satisfaction; (3) one variable has not-significant negative influence: creativity toward teacher performance;(4) two variables have not significant positive influence: competence toward teacher’s performance and creativity toward teacher’s performance. The contribution of competence, motivation and creativity toward work satisfaction is 76.1%, and the contribution of competence, motivation, and creativity toward teacher’s performance is 29.1%.
