Motivasi Kerja Guru Berdasarkan Teori Herzberg Di SMKN 1 Mesuji Raya

Abstract

This study aims to examine teachers’ work motivation based on Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, which includes motivator factors and hygiene factors, at SMKN 1 Mesuji Raya. This research employed a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with teachers as the main informants, as well as the principal, vice principal, and administrative staff as supporting informants. The results indicate that teachers’ work motivation at SMKN 1 Mesuji Raya is generally good. Motivator factors such as responsibility, achievement, recognition, and opportunities for professional development play an important role in enhancing teachers’ work motivation. Meanwhile, hygiene factors, including harmonious working relationships, a conducive school environment, and an adequate welfare system, contribute to supporting teachers’ job satisfaction. Therefore, the application of motivational principles based on Herzberg’s theory can serve as an important foundation for improving teachers’ performance and job satisfaction.
