Pengaruh Kepemimpinan Transformasional, Motivasi Intrinsik, dan Lingkungan Kerja terhadap Kinerja Guru di UPTD SMP Negeri 2 Jeumpa

Abstract

This study examines the effects of transformational leadership, intrinsic motivation, and work environment on teacher performance at UPTD SMP Negeri 2 Jeumpa. It uses a quantitative approach with a causal-associative design to analyze relationships among the variables. The population consisted of 44 teachers, all of whom were included through total sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The partial test results show that transformational leadership has a significant negative effect on teacher performance (t = −2.858; t-table = 1.680; p = 0.007). In contrast, intrinsic motivation has a significant positive effect (t = 4.356; t-table = 1.680; p = 0.000). The work environment also has a significant positive effect on teacher performance (t = 3.256; t-table = 1.680; p = 0.002). The simultaneous F-test indicates that transformational leadership, intrinsic motivation, and work environment jointly have a significant effect on teacher performance (F = 20.759; F-table = 1.82; p = 0.000). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.609) indicates that the three independent variables explain 60.9% of the variation in teacher performance, while the remaining 39.1% is attributable to factors outside the model. These findings suggest that intrinsic motivation and a supportive work environment are positively associated with teacher performance, whereas transformational leadership shows a negative relationship in this school context. The results may provide a basis for school evaluation and investigation into factors that influence teacher performance.
