Tutors’ job performance: the role of work motivation and organizational climate

Abstract

The current study investigated the role of work motivation and organization climate on the tutors’ job performance. This research implements a quantitative method. Seventy-three nonformal education tutors of Sanggar Kegiatan Belajar (SKB) in Ex-Karesidenan Kedu and Semarang, Indonesia, participated in this study. The data were collected using three instruments, job performance, work motivation, and organizational climate questionnaires. Then, the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results revealed that the work motivation and organizational climate simultaneously emerged as the predictors of tutors’ job performance. Independently, both factors had a significant positive on job performance. The tutor who has high work motivation would be more likely to increase job performance, whereas low work motivation may obstruct job performance. Moreover, the more positive the tutors’ perception of the organizational climate, the more likely it is to improve their work performance, vice versa.
