Abstract

This study aimed to enhance teacher performance through servant leadership and CEO competence, with the goal of contributing to school quality improvement towards SMK Pusat Keunggulan. The focus was on examining the direct influence of servant leadership and CEO competence on vocational school teacher performance, as well as the mediating role of motivation and the teacher empowerment center (upskilling and reskilling). The research used a quantitative approach with a survey method. The population was determined using Slovin's formula, and the study was conducted at Lembaga Pendidikan Maarif with a sample of 100 vocational school teachers. Data were collected through questionnaires with a Likert scale, and hypotheses were tested using Path Analysis. The findings showed that servant leadership and CEO competence had a positive and significant impact on motivation, with significance levels of 0.000 and 0.041, respectively. Motivation also had a significant effect on teacher performance (0.000), indicating that increased motivation led to improved teacher performance. Indirectly, servant leadership and CEO competence influenced performance through motivation, with effects of 0.572 and 0.268, respectively. Servant leadership was more effective in influencing motivation, while CEO competence had a greater impact on the teacher empowerment center. Motivation was a stronger mediator in the relationship between servant leadership and CEO competence and teacher performance, with determination coefficients of 57.27% and 26.81%, respectively. Conversely, the teacher empowerment center only mediated the relationship between CEO competence and teacher performance (32.5%) and was ineffective in mediating the relationship between servant leadership and teacher performance (- 0.1%). The conclusion of this study highlighted motivation as a mediator in improving vocational school teacher performance. The implications suggest that to enhance teacher performance, there should be a focus on strengthening motivation through servant leadership and CEO competence, as well as empowering teachers through upskilling and reskilling programs.
