Pengaruh Kompensasi, Motivasi dan Disiplin Kerja terhadap Prestasi Kerja Guru SMK Yayasan Pendidikan Sepakat Sei Balai Kabupaten Batu Bara

Abstract

Teacher performance achievement plays an essential role in improving the quality of education, particularly in vocational schools where teachers are expected to provide effective learning experiences and prepare students with relevant competencies. However, achieving optimal teacher performance requires adequate support through appropriate compensation, strong work motivation, and high levels of work discipline. Therefore, identifying the factors that influence teacher performance is important for developing effective management strategies in educational institutions. This study aims to determine the partial and simultaneous effects of compensation, motivation, and work discipline on teacher performance achievement at the Sepakat Sei Balai Educational Foundation Vocational High School, Batu Bara Regency. This research employed a quantitative approach with an associative method. The research sample consisted of 45 teachers selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 25. The results indicate that compensation, motivation, and work discipline have a positive and significant effect on teacher performance achievement. Among these variables, work discipline has the strongest influence, followed by motivation and compensation. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly affect teacher performance achievement. The findings imply that schools should improve compensation systems, strengthen teacher motivation, and encourage work discipline to enhance performance. Other factors beyond this study should also be considered to achieve further improvements.
