The Influence of Leadership, Organizational Culture, and Work Motivation on Teacher Performance in Public Junior High Schools in Ngaglik District

Abstract

This study aims to examine the specific effects of leadership, organizational culture, and work motivation on teacher performance. The objective is to identify which factors predominantly drive educational quality in public junior high schools in Ngaglik District, Yogyakarta. The methodology employed a quantitative ex post facto design. Data were collected from a census of 118 teachers using structured questionnaires. The analysis utilized multiple linear regression via SPSS version 26.0. The results indicate that leadership (sig = 0.000) and organizational culture (sig = 0.000) significantly improve teacher performance. Conversely, work motivation does not show a significant independent effect (sig = 0.098). Collectively, these variables account for 51% of the performance variance. The study concludes that systemic external factors currently overshadow internal motivation in driving teacher performance. Future studies should incorporate qualitative methods, such as interviews, and expand the geographical scope to validate these findings across different cultural and demographic contexts.
