Quality Of Work Life, Motivasi Kerja, Kinerja GuruAbstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan Quality of Work Life (QWL) dan motivasi kerja dengan kinerja guru, baik secara langsung, tidak langsung, maupun gabungan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional potong lintang (cross-sectional). Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner berskala Likert lima poin dari 63 guru SMA Negeri di Kabupaten Aceh Tengah yang dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan korelasi sederhana Pearson Product Moment, korelasi parsial, dan korelasi ganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa QWL berhubungan positif dan signifikan dengan kinerja guru (r = 0,638; p < 0,001), motivasi kerja berhubungan positif dan signifikan dengan kinerja guru (r = 0,749; p < 0,001), dan QWL berhubungan positif dan signifikan dengan motivasi kerja (r = 0,679; p < 0,001). Setelah motivasi kerja dikontrol, korelasi QWL dengan kinerja guru menurun menjadi 0,266 (p = 0,036) yang menunjukkan adanya hubungan tidak langsung melalui motivasi kerja. Secara gabungan, QWL dan motivasi kerja berhubungan dengan kinerja guru (r = 0,770; R² = 0,593). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kualitas kehidupan kerja dan motivasi kerja berasosiasi erat dengan kinerja guru sehingga keduanya perlu diperhatikan secara terpadu dalam pengelolaan sumber daya guru di sekolah.
