Abstract: The purposes of the study are to find the description and empiric evidence about the correlation of school climate, teaching load, achievement motivation, and teacher?óÔé¼Ôäós job satisfaction with teacher?óÔé¼Ôäós performance. Sampling technique withproportional random, data collection used questionnaire, and data ware analysed by descriptive and path analysis. The result of the descriptive analysis show that from five variables, achievement motivation was perceived on high category and teacher?óÔé¼Ôäós performance is good, whereas the three variables were perceived on moderate category. Findings of the path analysis show: (1) there is no significant direct relation between school climate with achievement motivation; (2) there is positive direct relation and significant between teaching load with achievement motivation; (3) there is positive direct rela-tion and significant between school climate with teacher?óÔé¼Ôäós job sat-isfaction; (4) there is no significant direct relation between teach-ing load with job satisfaction; (5) there is positive direct relation and significant between achievement motivation with performance; (6) there is positive direct relation and significant between job sat-isfactionwith performance; (7) there is positive direct relation and significant between school climate with performance; (8) there is positive direct relation and significant between teaching load with performance; (9) there is no significant indirect relation betweenschool climate with performance by achievement motivation; (10) there is positive indirect relation and significant between teaching load with performance by achievement motivation; (11) there is positive indirect relation and significant between school climatewith performance by job satisfaction; (12) there is no significant indirect relation between teaching load with performance by job satisfaction.Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan memberikan bukti korelasi antara iklim sekolah, beban mengajar, motivasi berprestasi, dan kepuasan kerja guru terhadap kinerja guru. Teknik sampling dengan proporsional random sampling,pengumpulan data dengan angket, dan analisis data dengan analisis jalur. Hasil dari analisis deskriptif menunjukkan bahwa dari lima variabel, motivasi berprestasi masuk kategori tinggi dan kenerja termasuk bagus. Hasil analisis jalur menunjukkan: (1) tidak ada hubungan langsung yang signifikan antara iklim sekolah dengan motivasi berprestasi; (2) ada hubungan langsung yang positif dan signifikan antara beban tugas denganmotivasi berprestasi; (3) ada hubungan langsung yang positif dan signifikan antara iklim sekolah dengan kepuasan kerja guru; (4) tidak ada hubungan langsung yang signifikan antara beban tugas dengan kepuasan kerja; (5) ada hubungan?é?á langsung yang positif dan signifikan antara motivasi berprestasi dengan kinerja; (6) ada hubungan langsung yang positif dan signifikan antara kepuasan kerja dengan kinerja; (7) ada hubungan langsung yang positif dan signifikan antara iklim sekolah dengan kinerja; (8) ada hubungan langsung yang positif dan signifikan antara beban tugas dengan kinerja; (9) tidak ada hubungan tidak langsung yang signifikan antara iklim sekolah dengan kinerja melalui motivasi; (10) ada hubungan tidak langsung yang positif dan signifikan antara bebantugas dengan kinerja melalui motivasi berprestasi; (11) ada hubungan tidak langsung yang positif dan signifikan antara iklim sekolah dengan kinerja melalui kepuasan kerja;(12) tidak ada hubungan tidak langsung yang signifikan antara beban tugas dengan kinerja melalui kepuasan kerja guru SD Negeri di Kota Mojokerto.Kata-kata Kunci: kinerja guru, iklim sekolah, beban tugas, motivasi berprestasi, kepuasan kerja.

University instructors’ goals for teaching are important for teaching quality. However, studies examining factors that shape instructors’ goal adoption are lacking. Using data from 785 instructors, we investigated whether implicit theories (ITs) about the malleability of intelligence constitute one such factor. Following achievement goal theory and Dweck’s (1999) achievement motivation framework, we analyzed whether differences in teaching goals are attributable to differences in ITs, and whether goals mediate the relation between ITs and instructional quality. Structural equation modeling yielded the expected relations between goals and instructional quality (positive for mastery and performance approach goals; negative for performance avoidance and work avoidance goals). As hypothesized, stronger endorsement of incremental ITs was positively related to mastery, and negatively to work avoidance goals. However, ITs were unrelated to performance goals. Indirect effects of ITs on teaching quality via goals were significant but rather weak. Implications for research and fostering teaching motivation are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to explore the mediating effect of school climate perception on the relation between achievement motivation (including SOAM and IOAM) and academic performance. 324 valid questionnaires from middle school students were used to analyze. Correlation analysis results show that there is a significant negative correlation between academic performance and SOAM, but academic performance positively correlated with IOAM. Furthermore, the perception of study pressure, school order and discipline are negatively correlated with academic performance, while the perception of teacher-student relationship, classmate relationship and the development of diversity are positively correlated with academic performance. Mediation analysis show that there is a partial mediating effect of the study pressure perception on the relationship between SOAM, IOAM and academic performance. Findings from this study suggest that school education should guide students to clarify their learning goals and reduce external study pressure, which helps to promote their academic performance.

Based on the Integrated Conceptual Model of Student Success, we used structural equation modeling (path analysis) to test a model of college readiness counseling for Native American high school students. Results indicated that college readiness counseling and achievement motivation predicted achievement, while parent support and school climate predicted achievement motivation. The effect of school climate on achievement was fully mediated by achievement motivation. Only achievement predicted college aspirations. We discuss implications for college readiness counseling.

This article presents a tool that provides reliable scores for studying the school climate from the students’ perspective, created for the Romanian context. The main aim of the article is to present the psychometric properties of the instrument. The participants were 605 students, enrolled in four secondary schools and four high schools, from an urban area. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed a seven-factor structure: student–teacher relationships, headmaster’s involvement in school life, student–student relationships, school satisfaction, achievement motivation, student–form teacher relationship, and perceived safety. The results revealed that gender, school location, and parents’ educational level could significantly predict school performances.
