Abstract

Motivation for improving teachers’ performance requires a spirit to carry out the task. Teachers with high achievement motivation will positively impact individuals, organizations, and schools. The existence of high achievement motivation can improve teachers’ performance and school management. In this context, paying more attention to teachers’ high achievement motivation inspires great enthusiasm, desire, and energy to work as optimally as possible, both individually and in schools. High achievement motivation in teachers will positively impact schools' teaching and learning processes and increase teacher competitiveness. This study employs a qualitative method with descriptive case study research. The research was conducted by sorting, analyzing, and interpreting the collected data. Data are collected using observation, interviews, and documentation as techniques and data collection instruments. According to the study's findings, teacher performance motivation changes as measured by motives, expectations, and incentives, particularly when teachers with high morale are praised, rewarded and recognized for achieving the best work results in their duties. Teachers' encouragement stemming from their motivation aids students' learning achievement. To enhance teacher performance at MA Shaykh Zainuddin NW Anjani also held MGMP and other similar activities.
