The role of supervisors' supervision in moderating the effect of professionalism and creativity on the performance of public high school teachers in pekanbaru

Abstract

This study took the Human Capital Theory as a theoretical perspective to empirically investigate the role of supervisors' supervision in moderating the effect of professionalism and creativity on the performance of public high school teachers in Pekanbaru. The research respondents were 144 teachers, the data were processed using the PLS Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The study proposed supervisors' supervision as a strategy to improve teacher performance. The results of the study show that professionalism and creativity affect teacher performance—supervisors' supervision plays a role in strengthening teacher performance. These results strengthen the Human Capital Theory stating that a combination of knowledge, skills, innovation, and a person's ability to carry out their duties can create value to achieve goals.
