Abstract

The most valuable human resource in schools is the teacher. The success and sustainability of the school depend heavily on teacher performance. Teachers are school resources who accompany and deliver school students to achieve academic performance. This study aims to identify what factors most determine teacher performance. This study examines the effect of teacher innovative behavior, information technology skills, and school work environment on teacher performance. This study uses the entire population as a sample, employing a saturation sample method. The object of the research is a vocational high school which is a model vocational school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. All 162 teachers were invited to fill out the questionnaire, but 104 teachers were willing to fill out the questionnaire (response rate 64%). SPSS was used to examine the data. The data analysis findings demonstrate that the developed hypothesis is supported by teachers’ innovative behavior, information technology skills, and the school working environment. The study looked at three independent variables, and the school work environment was found to have the most substantial impact on teacher performance. This study explains the relationship between each variable to teacher performance. This investigation introduces novel perspectives on the variables that influence teacher performance.
