Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of teachers’ pedagogical competence and school organizational culture on teacher performance in elementary schools within the Penajam Paser Utara cluster, East Kalimantan. The research employed a quantitative approach using an ex post facto design. The population consisted of 106 elementary school teachers, with a sample of 84 respondents determined using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to teachers who served as research respondents. The collected data were then analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. The results of the study indicate that teachers’ pedagogical competence has a significant effect on teacher performance with a t-value of 2.463. School organizational culture also shows an influence on teacher performance with a t-value of 0.597. Furthermore, simultaneously, teachers’ pedagogical competence and school organizational culture have a significant effect on teacher performance with an F-value of 6.082 and a significance level of 0.003. These findings suggest that improving teacher performance can be achieved through strengthening teachers’ pedagogical competence and developing a supportive, collaborative, and conducive school organizational culture that promotes effective learning processes.
