the performance of Islamic Boarding School teachers in Sungai Lilin District, Musi Banyuasin Regency.

This type of research is Associative. The variables used are competence, discipline, motivation, and

performance, which are developed into 12 indicators. The sample in this study was teachers of Islamic

Boarding Schools in Sungai Lilin District, Musi Banyuasin Regency, totaling 120 people selected by

cluster sampling. The data used are primary data with the method of collecting questionnaire data.

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Lisrel program is the analysis technique. The results of this

study prove that: 1) competence has a positive and significant effect on the motivation of Pondok

Pesantren teachers, 2) discipline has a significant effect on the motivation of Pondok Pesantren teachers,

3) competence has a positive and insignificant effect on the performance of Pondok Pesantren teachers,

4) discipline has a negative and insignificant effect on the performance of Islamic Boarding School

INTRODUCTION

An organization can operate efficiently if its management activities, such as planning,

organizing, motivation, and supervision, are functioning correctly and if its supporting

elements are readily available and meet the necessary criteria (Hartati, 2020). Employee

performance results from a person's work in carrying out the responsibilities assigned to him,

based on his skill, experience, sincerity, commitment, and time spent (Suyanto, 2018).

Educational institutions are among the organizations concerned with their human resources;

educators, in this case, teachers, play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of education

(Ratnasari & Sutjahjo, 2019). Performance is the result of work obtained by a person or group

of people in an organization (Vilela et al., 2008), following their respective authorities and

responsibilities to achieve the goals of the organization concerned legally, not violating the

law, and following morals and ethics (Razak, 2021). Several factors affect performance,

including ability, expertise, work motivation, and discipline (Jeffrey & Dinata, 2017).

The role of the teacher becomes one of the resources that determine the success of

education, especially in learning and teaching activities in schools (Supriyono, 2017).

Professional teachers become the determining factor of a quality educational process.

Teachers must be able to find their identity and actualize it in accordance with the abilities

and rules of professional teachers (Helmi, 2015). The teacher is in charge of directing students

in achieving learning objectives, updating mastering the subject matter through various

sources. With professional teacher performance, it is expected to be one of the steps to realize

success in the world of education (Safitri & Sos, 2019) (Balkar, 2015).

Personnel/teachers must possess four competencies, namely pedagogical competence,

personality competence, social competence, and professional competence, is indicative of one

of the improvements in teacher performance. Therefore, when delivering content in teaching

and learning activities, the instructor must demonstrate these four qualities (Lynch et al.,

2018).

Based on interviews with several teachers at the Islamic Boarding School in Sungai

Lilin District, namely at the Assalam Al-Islamy Islamic Boarding School, Mambaul Hisan

Islamic Boarding School, and the Ar-Risalah Islamic Boarding School, the phenomenon that

occurred in the three Islamic boarding schools that illustrates performance is quality, in this

case, some teachers have not implemented the teaching and learning process effectively. So

it can be said that the quality of teachers is still low (Hoesny & Darmayanti, 2021),

(Carruthers, 2012). Several teachers use boring teaching approaches, causing pupils to feel

saturated or bored during the learning process.

Article 35, paragraph 1, of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 14 of 2005

outlines the role of the teacher, which includes activities ranging from planning to evaluating

learning, educating or training students, as well as additional responsibilities; consequently,

teachers must have an innovative spirit in their knowledge. Furthermore, teachers should

increase the quality of education within the school system to produce future Indonesians with

life skills, a solid grasp of science and technology, and a strong sense of character (Suratman

et al., 2020). This study aims to determine whether competence and discipline can affect

performance with motivation as the intervening variable.

RESEARCH METHODS

This study employed associative research, which seeks to determine the association between

two or more factors (Mathar, 2013). This study's population included 147 teachers from three Islamic

boarding schools under the naugan of the ministry of religion: The Assalam Al-islamy Islamic

Boarding School, the Mambaul Hisan Islamic Boarding School, and the Ar-Risalah Islamic Boarding

School. The sampling technique selected by the author was probability sampling with a cluster

sampling system, and the total sample used was 120 teachers

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Validity Tests

In Figure 1, for each of the trial variables, instrument construct validity test questions are

valued at greater than 0.50. Overall the result shows that all performance variable indicators

have passed the validity test because they have met the requirements, namely the value of

loading factors ≥ 0.50 so that the instrument is declared valid and can be used as an accurate

measuring instrument in the following analysis.

Reliability Test

Reliability measurement can be carried out using the following means :

1. The reliability of a construct is good if its value is equal to or greater than 0.70.

2. The size of the variant extract is good if the value is 0.50. Variant extract reflects the overall

number of variants in the indicators described by the latent construct.

Based on Table 1, it is shown that the results of calculating the CR value > 0.70 so that

it can be concluded that all constructs on the whole model loading factor for the variables of

competence, discipline, motivation and teacher performance in this study are acceptable and

reliable.
