THE IMPACT OF PEDAGOGICAL COMPETENCE, CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT, AND WORK ENVIRONMENT ON TEACHER PERFORMANCE: A QUANTITATIVE STUDY AT SMK PGRI 2 TAMAN

Abstract

This study examines how pedagogical competence, classroom management, and work environment affect teacher performance at SMK PGRI 2 Taman. Using a quantitative approach with associative correlational methods, data were collected from all 76 teachers through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that pedagogical competence (X1), classroom management (X2), and work environment (X3) individually and simultaneously have a positive and significant impact on teacher performance (Y). The results showed significance values of 0.047, 0.002, and 0.001 for X1, X2, and X3, respectively, with t-values exceeding the critical threshold (2.021, 3.261, and 3.579). Simultaneously, the F-test (37.394 > 2.73) and R² value of 60.9% confirmed the combined influence of these variables. The findings suggest that schools should prioritize enhancing pedagogical competencies, providing classroom management training, and improving the work environment to optimize teacher performance and educational outcomes.
