Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of work commitment and work motivation on teacher performance in private senior high schools in Lembang District, West Bandung Regency. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The population consisted of 180 teachers from 11 private senior high schools, while the research sample comprised 120 teachers selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of 120 items measured on a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics through descriptive analysis, classical assumption tests, Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and the coefficient of determination. The results showed that work commitment had a positive and significant effect on teacher performance (B = 0.454; t = 6.594; p < 0.001), while work motivation also had a positive and significant effect (B = 0.474; t = 6.662; p < 0.001). Simultaneously, work commitment and work motivation significantly affected teacher performance (F = 164.843; p < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.738) indicated that 73.8% of the variation in teacher performance was explained by the two independent variables. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening teacher commitment and motivation to improve performance.
