Abstract:

This study investigates the correlation between compensation satisfaction and teaching performance among teachers at St. Peter's College of Toril, Inc. The study uses a quantitative research design and analysis methods such as mean averaging, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation, and regression analysis to determine if there is a significant relationship between teachers' satisfaction with their compensation and their teaching performance. The study reveals that teachers are moderately satisfied with compensation and good teaching performance. While there is a significant connection between compensation satisfaction and teaching performance, the strength of the relationship is not strong enough to fully support it. Based on these findings, recommendations are provided to enhance compensation satisfaction and teaching performance. These include implementing performance-based incentives, recognizing teachers' efforts, conducting comprehensive salary and benefits reviews, establishing a performance-based compensation system, providing professional development opportunities, fostering a positive work environment, offering non-monetary incentives, ensuring transparency and fairness in compensation practices, regularly reviewing and adjusting compensation packages, supporting work-life balance, seeking input from teachers, and regularly assessing teaching performance. This research provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in education.
