Abstract

Performance is a mental attitude that always has the view that the quality of life today must be better than yesterday and tomorrow must be better than today. This research aims to reveal the relationship between job satisfaction and junior high school teacher performance. The method used in this research is a qualitative research approach. Validation of research data was carried out using triangulation techniques consisting of observation, interviews and documentation studies. The results of this research reveal the following findings: (1) The principal has established standard operational procedures for each teacher's work unit so that it makes work easier and there is a clear career path for each teacher. (2) Teacher work productivity has increased, school principals continue to strive to improve the quality of education. (3) Efforts to increase teacher job satisfaction experience several obstacles, the obstacle being budget limitations so that the programs that have been prepared have not been implemented optimally. (4) Teacher job satisfaction is relatively high because the majority are Nahdlatul Ulama members so they think that working at NU universities not only expects a salary but also takes part in growing the Nahdlatul Ulama organization. The conclusion of this research is: the job satisfaction of Medan Nahdlatul Ulama Middle School teachers is in the high category, so this finding shows that in general teachers will feel at a loss if they leave their place of work, this has an impact on teacher performance.
