Abstract

This study investigates the impact of organizational vision, culture, and teacher salary on teacher motivation and performance at Little Sun Trilingual School in Surabaya. Acknowledging the pivotal role of teachers in education, the research explores how aligning organizational vision and culture, along with fair compensation, influences teacher motivation and performance. Using surveys and interviews with 100 teachers, the study employs a mixed-methods approach. The quantitative phase analyzes statistical relationships between organizational elements, while qualitative data provides nuanced insights into teachers' experiences. Preliminary findings indicate a significant correlation between a clear organizational vision, positive culture, and enhanced teacher motivation. The study also delves into the nuanced role of teacher salary in shaping motivation and subsequent performance. The research contributes valuable insights for educational institutions seeking to improve teacher satisfaction and performance by understanding the interplay between organizational vision, culture, and compensation. Instrument reliability was assessed using Cornbrash’s alpha on Smart PLS, revealing strong connections between organizational culture, teacher motivation, and performance. This paper discusses the varied outcomes resulting from this relationship and significantly contributes to reducing teacher turnover. By establishing specific links between organizational vision, culture, and teacher salary, the paper elucidates why these factors impact teacher motivation, subsequently influencing performance.
