Abstract

This research aims to test the Motivation, Spiritual Intelligence, and Competence impact on Middle School Teacher Performance, with Job Satisfaction as a Mediating Variable. In this research, the intended population was all junior high school teachers in Pidie Jaya Regency, totaling 821 teachers. The number of samples was 204 teachers. Data analysis in this research uses the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The result shows that Motivation, Spiritual Intelligence, and Competency significantly affect job satisfaction; Spiritual Intelligence, competency, and job satisfaction significantly affect teacher performance, but motivation does not affect teacher performance; Job satisfaction fully mediates the Motivation impact on Teacher Performance;  Job Satisfaction partially mediates the Spiritual Intelligence impact on Teacher Performance; and Job Satisfaction partially mediates the Competency impact on Teacher Performance. These results explain that the teacher performance improvement model is a function of increasing motivation, Spiritual Intelligence, competency, and job satisfaction.

Keywords: Motivation, Spiritual Intelligence, Competence, Job Satisfaction, Teacher Performance
