Downloads
This research aims to analyze the influence of work culture on the work productivity of teachers in State Elementary Schools in Ungaran Timur District, Semarang Regency. This research uses a quantitative approach with a causal correlational research design. The population in this study consists of all teachers of State Elementary Schools in Ungaran Timur District, totaling 181 people, with a sample of 125 teachers selected using the Slovin formula with a proportional random sampling technique. Data were collected through a closed questionnaire and analyzed using a simple linear regression test with the assistance of the SPSS 21 program. The results of the study showed that work culture had a positive and significant effect on teachers' work productivity, with an F-count value of 537.313 > F-table 3.92 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.814 shows that work culture contributes 81.4% to teachers' work productivity. The resulting regression equation is Y = 30.954 + 0.805X₃, which means that every one-unit increase in work culture will increase teachers' work productivity by 0.805. The implications of this study indicate the need to strengthen a positive work culture in schools through the habituation of discipline, openness, mutual respect, and commitment in order to increase teacher productivity in a sustainable manner.
