Learning motivation is influenced by various external factors, particularly teachers’ professional competence and parental support. This study aims to examine the relationship between teachers’ professional competence and students’ learning motivation, the relationship between parental support and students’ learning motivation, and the simultaneous relationship between teachers’ professional competence and parental support and students’ learning motivation at SMP Negeri 13 Kolaka Utara. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The research sample consisted of 119 students selected using proportional sampling techniques. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires measuring teachers’ professional competence, parental support, and students’ learning motivation. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis at a significance level of 0.05. The results indicate that teachers’ professional competence has a positive and significant relationship with students’ learning motivation. Parental support also shows a positive and significant relationship with students’ learning motivation. Furthermore, teachers’ professional competence and parental support simultaneously have a significant relationship with students’ learning motivation, although the strength of the relationship is relatively low. These findings highlight the importance of collaboration between teachers and parents in fostering students’ learning motivation. Strengthening teachers’ professional competence and enhancing parental involvement are expected to contribute positively to improving students’ motivation to learn. Keywords: teachers professional competence; parental support; students learning motivation. Abstrak: Motivasi belajar siswa merupakan faktor krusial dalam menentukan keberhasilan proses pembelajaran.
