Abstract

This study examines the mediating effects of creativity and innovation on the relationship between teacher satisfaction, motivation, and teaching performance in the Papua Pegunungan Province of Indonesia. Given the unique educational challenges faced by teachers in this region, understanding how job satisfaction and motivation translate into teaching effectiveness is crucial. This study employs a quantitative approach, utilizing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze survey data collected from educators across various schools in the province. The findings suggest that both creativity and innovation play significant mediating roles, enhancing the positive impact of teacher satisfaction and motivation on teaching performance. The results underscore the importance of fostering an environment that encourages innovative teaching methods and creative problem-solving to improve educational outcomes. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers and educational institutions aiming to enhance teacher performance through targeted professional development programs and resource allocation.
