Abstract

Teacher performance serves as a critical indicator of educational quality, particularly in regions with geographical constraints. This study aimed to analyze the effect of work motivation and work discipline on the performance of senior high school teachers in Sekadau Hulu District, Sekadau Regency. Using a quantitative approach with explanatory research design, data were collected from 61 teachers through Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Results demonstrated that work motivation significantly and positively affects teacher performance (β = 0.380, p = 0.008), work discipline significantly and positively affects teacher performance (β = 0.489, p = 0.000), and work motivation significantly affects work discipline (β = 0.672, p = 0.000). Furthermore, work discipline partially mediates the relationship between work motivation and teacher performance, with a Variance Accounted For (VAF) value of 46.4%, indicating that nearly half of motivation's influence on performance operates through discipline mechanisms. These findings suggest that integrated interventions simultaneously strengthening both motivation and discipline are essential for optimizing teacher performance in geographically challenged educational contexts.
