Abstract

This study aims to investigate the role of job satisfaction in mediating the influence of organizational culture on teacher performance at SMP Negeri 1 Pintu Rime, Gayo Bener Meriah Regency. A strong organizational culture is expected to increase teachers' job satisfaction, which further contributes to their improved performance. Using a quantitative approach, this study involved 100 teachers as randomly selected respondents. Data was collected through a questionnaire consisting of three sections: organizational culture, job satisfaction, and teacher performance. Data analysis was carried out by multiple regression to test the relationship between variables. The results showed that organizational culture had a positive and significant influence on job satisfaction (p < 0.01), and job satisfaction had a positive and significant effect on teacher performance (p < 0.01). In addition, the analysis shows that job satisfaction plays a significant mediator in the relationship between organizational culture and teacher performance. These findings highlight the importance of a positive organizational culture in improving job satisfaction and teacher performance. Therefore, it is recommended that school management focus on developing a supportive organizational culture to improve overall teacher performance.
