Teacher performance is an important factor in supporting the effectiveness of the learning process. However, differences in teachers’ pedagogical competence and work motivation may affect their ability to perform professional duties effectively. This study aims to examine the effect of pedagogical competence and teacher motivation on teacher performance at SMK Negeri 4 Palembang, both partially and simultaneously. The study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression, supported by validity, reliability, classical assumption, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination analyses. The findings indicate that pedagogical competence has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, with a regression coefficient of 0.580 and a significance value of 0.000. Teacher motivation also has a positive and significant effect, with a regression coefficient of 0.192 and a significance value of 0.022. Simultaneously, pedagogical competence and teacher motivation significantly affect teacher performance, as indicated by an F-value of 38.602 and a significance value of 0.000. The model has an Adjusted R Square of 0.432, indicating that 43.2% of the variation in teacher performance is explained by the two independent variables.
