, and Flexibility of the workplace (WFH) (Fadihila & Wicaksana, 2.
Work flexibility is also predicted to be a solution in the future to increase job satisfaction, agency commitment, work-life balance and encourage employees to provide the best performance.

Information technology also supports the results of employee work can be faster, more accurate, and easy to understand so that employee performance can continue to improve.
Information technology that supports employee work results needs to be aligned with motivation that can facilitate the creation of performance.
Work motivation can provide impulses that create a person's work desire so that they are willing to work together, work effectively and integrated with all their strengths and efforts to achieve job satisfaction (Permanasari, 2.
Providing motivation is very important in every company, with motivation is something that causes, channels, and supports human behavior in order to work hard to achieve maximum results (Sukowati.
Afrizal, & Wargianto, 2.
Employees who have high work motivation will be able to encourage themselves to work harder and are always inspired and passionate in doing their work.
Motivation can also move and guide employees in achieving goals, helping in taking initiatives and acting effectively so that they can achieve the goals that have been set (Ekhsan, 2.
Work discipline is one of the factors that plays an important role in achieving goals and improving employee performance.

Motivation is the motives that become active or the functioning does not need to be stimulated from the outside, because in each individual there is already an impulse to do Thus there is no burden on the teacher to behave unnaturally or unintentionally.
