Performance is a work achievement or a person's work based on the quality achieved in carrying out the responsibilities received. Teacher performance is a determining factor in achieving educational goals. Factors that affect performance include: teacher competence, teacher work discipline and teacher work motivation. This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of teacher competence, teacher work discipline and teacher work motivation on performance. This research approach is quantitative. The population of this study was 180 people from 18 elementary schools. The sampling technique used is Proportional Random Sampling. The number of samples was determined based on the Sloving formula with 150 respondents. collecting data using a questionnaire consisting of teacher competence (14 items), work discipline (15 items), work motivation (8 items), teacher performance (16 items). This research instrument tested the level of validity and reliability using the product moment person correlation test. The research data were analyzed using path analysis to see the direct and indirect effects between variables, by first testing normality, linearity, and homogeneity. The results showed that there was a direct and indirect influence between the influence of teacher competence, work discipline and work motivation on teacher performance. The analysis of the research results used descriptive statistics, simple regression, path analysis and multiple regression using SPSS Window Version 25. The results showed that there was an influence between: (1) teacher competence on teacher performance of 0.871, (2) work discipline on teacher performance of 0.871. 0.991, (3) work motivation on teacher performance of 0.892, (4) teacher competence on work discipline of 0.882, (5) teacher competence on work motivation of 0.884, (6) teacher competency on teacher performance through work discipline of 0.874 ( 7) teacher competence on teacher performance through work motivation of 0.868. Based on the findings of this study, it can be suggested several things such as: (1) Teachers as educators should be more active in an effort to improve teacher performance, (2) Teachers in schools should increase discipline and motivation at work, (3) educational institutions should provide opportunities for teachers to develop themselves, (4) this research should be used as a reference and a reference for conducting research that is still related.
