Abstract

Teacher performance is a cornerstone of educational quality, yet the mechanisms driving it in foundation-based private schools remain insufficiently understood. This study examined the effects of empowerment and self-efficacy on teacher performance, mediated by employee engagement, among 94 teachers in schools under Yayasan Amkur, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Grounded in the Job Demands-Resources model and Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory, seven hypotheses were tested using PLS-SEM via WarpPLS 7.0. All hypotheses were supported. Empowerment and self-efficacy positively predicted employee engagement, with empowerment as the stronger predictor. Both independently influenced teacher performance, with self-efficacy exerting a stronger direct effect. Employee engagement was the dominant predictor of teacher performance and partially mediated both upstream relationships. The model explained 88.3% and 87.4% of variance in engagement and performance respectively. These findings extend the JD-R framework to Indonesian foundation-based schools and highlight employee engagement as the central mechanism converting organizational and personal resources into superior teacher performance.

Abstract

Employee engagement is a critical determinant of organizational effectiveness in the education sector, particularly in developing countries where institutional systems are still evolving. This study examines the effects of Person-Organization Fit (P-O Fit) and Perceived Organizational Support (POS) on Employee Engagement (EE), with Organizational Commitment (OC) as a mediating variable. A quantitative explanatory design was employed involving 163 teachers from Catholic private secondary schools in Dili, Timor-Leste. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with WarpPLS 8.0. The results indicate that P–O Fit and POS have positive and significant effects on Organizational Commitment and Employee Engagement. Organizational Commitment also significantly influences Employee Engagement. Mediation analysis reveals partial mediation, with OC mediating the relationship between POS and EE and marginally mediating the relationship between P-O Fit and EE. The model explains 48.9% of the variance in employee engagement. These findings highlight the central role of organizational commitment in transforming value alignment and institutional support into stronger teacher engagement. The study contributes to engagement literature within faith-based educational institutions in developing country contexts
