There were 125 elementary school teachers who participated in this study. Data were collected using five-choice Likert scale model questionnaires, namely: the teacher job satisfaction scale r=0.91 and the teacher performance scale r=0.94. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) through analysis of moment structures (AMOS) software. The results showed that there was a significant positive effect of job satisfaction on the performance of elementary school teachers. The study’s findings suggest that it is critical for elementary school administrators and education administrators in local governments to ensure teacher job satisfaction in order to improve their performance.
