PENGARUH STRES KERJA, MOTIVASI, DAN DUKUNGAN SOSIAL TERHADAP KINERJA GURU (STUDI KORELASI DI SEKOLAH DASAR NEGERI KECAMATAN PAMULANG)

Abstract

Education is a strategic factor in national development, with teachers playing a crucial role as the spearhead of quality education delivery. This study aims to analyze the influence of work stress, work motivation, and social support on the performance of public elementary school teachers in Pamulang District. The study employed a quantitative approach with an associative approach, involving a sample of teachers selected through a multistage random sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results indicate that teacher performance is at a moderate level, with teachers capable of carrying out formal duties but not optimal in extra-role work behavior and controlling counterproductive behavior. Work stress, work motivation, and social support, neither partially nor simultaneously, have a significant effect on teacher performance. These findings confirm that teacher performance is influenced by various other factors, including professional competence, principal leadership, organizational culture, and school management systems. This study provides theoretical contributions by enriching the literature on the determinants of teacher performance, as well as practical implications for schools and policymakers in designing strategies to improve teacher performance through stress management, strengthening motivation, and increasing social support within the school environment.
