Abstract

Improving the quality of education at the junior high school level is highly dependent on the performance of teachers as the main actors in the learning process. This study aims to analyze the effect of independent training on teacher performance, with compensation as an intervening variable at SMP Negeri 1 Pintu Rime Gayo, Bener Meriah Regency. This study uses a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis. The population in this study is all teachers totaling 64 people, with saturated sampling techniques. The results of the study show that self-training has a positive and significant effect on compensation. In addition, self-training and compensation also have a positive and significant effect on teacher performance. Thus, compensation acts as an intervening variable that strengthens the relationship between independent training and teacher performance. This study recommends that schools encourage teacher self-training, as well as provide fair compensation to support continuous teacher performance improvement.
