Abstract

General Background: Teacher performance is reflected in planning, teaching, assessment, communication, and innovation. Specific Background: Principal managerial competence and work climate are examined in relation to teacher performance at SDI Cahaya Islami Candi–Sidoarjo. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have examined managerial competence, work climate, and teacher performance, while this study compares the relative contributions of the two variables in the school context. Aims: This study examines the relationship of principal managerial competence and work climate with teacher performance. Results: Using a quantitative quasi-experimental design, questionnaire data from 36 teachers were analyzed using SPSS 30.0. Managerial competence recorded a mean score of 65.42, whereas work climate recorded 57.89. The simultaneous test showed F = 24.915 and sig. = 0.001. Novelty: Managerial competence recorded a higher mean score than work climate. Implications: Strong managerial competence and a supportive work climate are important considerations for teacher performance. Key Findings Highlights Managerial competence recorded a mean score of 65.42. Work climate recorded a mean score of 57.89. Both variables jointly showed significant positive results. Keywords : Managerial Competence, Work Climate, Teacher Performance, School Leadership, Elementary School
