Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of compensation and competence on instructor performance in private courses and training institutions in South Kalimantan. It considers the mediating role of job satisfaction and motivation. The method used is a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis, involving 93 instructors from 61 active institutions. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed manually and via Google Forms. The results suggest that both compensation and competence have a significant positive effect on instructor performance. Additionally, job satisfaction and motivation act as intervening variables that strengthen the relationship between compensation, competence, and performance. These findings underline the significance of effective human resource management in enhancing teaching performance, which ultimately positively impacts student satisfaction and learning outcomes. The study recommends that educational institutions continue investing in competency development and fair compensation systems to improve instructor motivation and job satisfaction.
