The Role of Job Satisfaction in Mediating the Effect of Work–Family Conflict and Work Stress on the Performance of Female School Teachers

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of job satisfaction in mediating the effects of work-family conflict and work stress on the performance of female vocational high school (SMK) teachers in Magelang during Distance Learning (PJJ) in the Covid-19 pandemic period. This study employed a survey research method. The data collection technique used purposive sampling through questionnaires containing four variables, namely work-family conflict (X1), work stress (X2), teacher performance (Y), and job satisfaction (Z). The tests conducted included instrument testing, multiple linear regression analysis, coefficient of determination (R²), significance testing, and mediation/intervening testing using SPSS 22. The results showed that work-family conflict and work stress affect teacher performance, and this relationship is mediated by job satisfaction.
