Factors that affect the performance of teachers are principals’ managerial leadership and compensation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of principals’ managerial leadership and compensation to the performance of physical science teachers in senior high schools in the district Baguala Ambon city. This type of research is quantitative design. The instrument was used questionnaire. The variables studied were the principal managerial leadership (X1), compensation (X2) as independent variables and performance of science physics teachers (Y) as dependent variable. Prior to use in the true research, the validity and reliability of these instrument was done. To reveal relationships between variables, correlation analysis was performed, while to know the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable regression analysis also performed. Analysis of the validity, reliability, correlation and regression analysis was performed using SPSS program version of 18.0 for windows. The results showed that between principal managerial leadership and teacher performance there is a very high correlation. Between compensation with the performance have high correlation and the combination of principals’ managerial leadership and compensation with the performance there is a very high correlation. Regression analysis showed that the independent variables principals managerial leadership and compensation, or a combination of both contribute to or affect the performance of physical science teacher at senior high school in the district Baguala.
Highlights
Nowadays, many obstacles have faced by the government in improving the quality of learning and education
The variables in this study consisted of the independent variable, including Principal managerial leadership (X1) and compensation (X2), and the dependent variable, including physics teacher performance (Y) (Figure 1)
Combined these two variables jointly contribute to variable Y as much as 71.9 %. These results indicate that both principals managerial leadership variable and compensation gave a major contribution to the performance of physics teachers performance in secondary schools districts in Baguala Ambon city
Summary
Many obstacles have faced by the government in improving the quality of learning and education. One of the obstacles to improve the quality of learning is inequity in the quality of teachers in schools. The quality of teachers, both academic and non-academic, influences the quality of learning and education in general (Arifin, 2013). In Maluku context, until now the quality of education has not shown significant improvement. Some reports of competency test placed Maluku in the lowest position. Teacher competency test results during the last five years have always put Maluku in the final rankings. The results of initial competency tests of teacher for certification in 2015 showed that Maluku was placed in the final ranking of five provinces with a lower score (34.5) than the highest value of national score (50.1)
