The sample used in this study consisted of 2738 responses from Sarawak secondary school teachers collected through a structured questionnaire.

Findings confirmed that school climate, teachers’ commitment, teachers’ motivation, and teachers’ job satisfaction were the key constructs for increasing teachers’ work performance among secondary school teachers in Sarawak. Furthermore, the importance-performance matrix analysis (IPMA) has shown that teachers’ job satisfaction was the most important factor. Apart from that, the most influential factor in the prediction of employee performance followed by school climate, teachers’ commitment, and teachers’ motivation respectively.
