Teacher performance is a key factor in the success of the educational process, particularly in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). Various psychological and organizational factors are assumed to influence teacher performance, including psychological well-being, work engagement, performance appraisal, and ethical leadership. This study aims to analyze the effect of psychological well-being, work engagement, performance appraisal, and ethical leadership on teacher performance at Pondok Pesantren At-Taroqqi, Sampang Regency. This research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population and sample of the study consisted of 40 teachers. Data were collected through a questionnaire using a Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27, including validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination. The results indicate that psychological well-being, work engagement, performance appraisal, and ethical leadership each have a positive and significant effect on teacher performance. Simultaneously, all independent variables significantly influence teacher performance. Ethical leadership was found to be the most dominant variable affecting teacher performance. The coefficient of determination shows that 57% of the variance in teacher performance can be explained by the four independent variables, while the remaining variance is influenced by other factors outside the research model. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that improving teacher performance at Pondok Pesantren At-Taroqqi is strongly influenced by teachers’ psychological well-being, level of work engagement, effective performance appraisal systems, and the implementation of ethical leadership. Therefore, the pesantren management is expected to pay greater attention to these factors in order to enhance teacher performance sustainably.
