Abstract

Career advancement through promotion represents a critical dimension of teachers’ professional development, yet many teachers show varying levels of motivation to pursue this process. These differences are often shaped by how teachers perceive the management of career development within their institutions. This study aims to examine the relationship between teachers’ perceptions of career development management and their achievement motivation in pursuing promotion. A quantitative correlational research design was employed using a cross-sectional survey approach. Data were collected from teachers through structured questionnaires measuring perceptions of career development management and achievement motivation related to promotion. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential techniques, including correlation and regression analysis, to identify the strength and direction of the relationship between variables. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between perceptions of career development management and teachers’ achievement motivation in pursuing promotion. Teachers who perceive career development management as transparent, supportive, and well-organized demonstrate higher levels of motivation to engage in promotion-related activities, while negative perceptions are associated with lower motivational levels. The study concludes that effective career development management plays a crucial role in fostering teachers’ achievement motivation toward promotion. Strengthening clarity, fairness, and institutional support in career management systems may enhance teachers’ motivation for professional advancement and contribute to sustainable teacher development.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students’ reading and writing skills through the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. The background of this research is based on the low level of students’ reading and writing skills, which are indicated by students’ lack of active participation in learning activities, difficulties in understanding reading texts, and limited ability to express ideas and thoughts in written form. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles. The research subjects consisted of 32 students. Each cycle included the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observations of teacher and student activities, students’ worksheets (LKPD), and tests of reading and writing skills. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model led to a significant improvement in students’ reading and writing skills. In the first meeting, only 10 students (31.25%) showed improvement in reading and writing skills. In the second meeting, the number of students who showed improvement increased to 15 students (46.88%). Furthermore, in the third meeting (Cycle II), the improvement became more significant, with 24 students (75%) demonstrating improved reading and writing skills. In addition, students’ learning activities and the quality of teaching practices also improved in each cycle. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model is effective in improving students’ reading and writing skills. This learning model enhances students’ active participation, critical thinking skills, and accuracy in reading and writing activities.

Based on the research findings, it is recommended that schools and education policymakers continuously strengthen positive organizational culture, enhance teachers’ ability through training and professional development, and create a work environment that fosters work motivation. Strengthening these three aspects has been proven to play an important role in improving teachers’ commitment on a ustainable basis.

Abstract

The growth of the trading and distributor industry in Indonesia has created a highly competitive climate, requiring salespersons to demonstrate adaptive and innovative performance. This study aims to examine the influence of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) on the Job Performance of salespersons at PT SI, an industrial equipment distributor in Cikarang currently facing challenges related to declining performance and fluctuating sales targets. The research design employs a quantitative approach utilizing a census method (saturated sampling), involving 31 salespersons as respondents due to the relatively small population size. The research instruments employed were the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) to measure the dimensions of hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism, and the Individual Work Performance Framework (IWPQ) to assess task performance, contextual performance, and counterproductive work behavior. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression to predict the influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable. This study is expected to provide empirical insights into the importance of employees' internal psychological aspects in sustaining performance amidst the pressures of the Business to Business (B2B) industry, and serves as a foundation for management to design HR capacity-building strategies that do not rely solely on financial incentives.
