Abstract

Introduction: Teacher performance is a critical determinant of educational quality, yet it remains a complex challenge for vocational institutions facing global competitiveness. This study explores the interplay between psychological and organizational factors in enhancing educator productivity. Background Problems: Despite its importance, many vocational schools struggle with suboptimal teacher performance due to fluctuating organizational commitment and job satisfaction levels, leading to the research question: to what extent do organizational commitment and job satisfaction simultaneously influence teacher performance at SMK Bunga Persada Cianjur? Novelty: This research offers a unique perspective by focusing on a specialized vocational health school in a sub-urban area, a context often overlooked in mainstream educational management literature which typically focuses on general urban schools. Research Methods: A quantitative approach was employed using a census sampling method involving all 57 teachers at SMK Bunga Persada Cianjur. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression and hypothesis testing (t-test and F-test) through SPSS software. Finding/Results: The results reveal that both organizational commitment and job satisfaction have a positive and significant impact on teacher performance, with job satisfaction emerging as the more dominant predictor. These factors collectively contribute 80.8% to the variance in performance, which is categorized as Excellent. Conclusion: The study concludes that fulfilling professional satisfaction is a prerequisite for building institutional loyalty and maintaining high performance. The implications suggest that school management should prioritize a conducive work climate and effective supervision to ensure sustainable educational excellence.
