Abstract
Progress in education is strongly influenced by a number of important interacting factors, and one of the main factors is the role of teachers. The achievement of educational success, which relies heavily on teachers^ abilities, signifies the importance of delving deeper into the internal aspects of teachers. This study has the main objective of exploring the relationship between teacher performance and teacher work motivation. Within the framework of the research method, a correlational approach was used to analyze the data which is descriptive quantitative in nature. The population in the study consisted of 20 SMK teachers. The results showed that statistically there was no significant relationship between teacher performance and teacher work motivation. Although the significance value did not reach the relevant threshold, further analysis is needed to evaluate this relationship, especially considering that the degree of correlation between teacher performance and teacher work motivation is categorized as a weak level. Therefore, this study encourages a deeper understanding that there is still a potential relationship between teacher performance appraisal and teacher work motivation. The implications of these findings suggest the need to develop more holistic strategies and policies to improve education quality, taking into account the complexity of teachers^ internal relationships as key contributors to educational success.
