teachers improve their performance (Darim, 2.
Intrinsic motivation, or motivation that comes from within a person, is the driving force for him to carry out his activities.
With the intrinsic motivation that exists within him, his desire to carry out his duties well will arise by itself.
Because intrinsic motivation is very necessary for a teacher to carry out his duties as a teacher (Umam, 2.
In this modern era, education plays an important role and is a guide for humans to meet their diverse and ever-increasing needs.
Through educational activities, humans will be able to face advances in the fields of science and technology, be able to always strive to develop their attitudes positively, explore knowledge, and increase their competitiveness through skills, and have the potential of human resources that are able to thrive in the era of progress and technological development (Muktapa, 2.
The manifestation of success in creating quality human resources is largely determined by teacher education institutions as the perpetrators and is supported by the implementation of well-organized education quality management through educational organizing institutions in managing educational activities.
Therefore, there is a need for cooperation between schools as formal educational institutions that have an important role in improving the quality of education so that they are able to produce graduates with quality human resources, with teachers as motivators and administrators in creating quality educational outcomes (Darojat et al.
, 2.
Efforts to motivate teacherAos work need to be carried out by school principals as educational leaders, because motivation is an important factor in influencing teachers to improve their performance in achieving the desired educational goals.
According to the Big Departemen Pendidikan Indoneia, .
, motivation is encouragement carried out either intentionally or unintentionally by superiors to their subordinates, which is a form of motivational activity.
The motivation received by a person, whether generated by himself or due to the influence of other parties, will influence the results of his actions to achieve certain desired goals.
Further, according to (Malayu, 2.
, a reaction that arises due to influence from within a person or the influence of another party is part of the motivation to carry out an action that is felt by someone.
The change that a person experiences to become a better person, which is characterized by a reaction to achieve a certain goal, is the impact of motivation itself.
According to Pianda, .
the motivation a teacher has will be formed by his attitude, which is influenced by the work situation in which the teacher carries out his duties as an educator.
Each teacher has a different work motivation.
This condition shows that teacher motivation is actually influenced by intrinsic or extrinsic factors.
Intrinsic elements include the desire, interest, and drive to carry out their duties, while extrinsic factors include the school environment, security and comfort, and facilities and infrastructure.
Differences in work motivation that teachers have led to differences in the quality of teacher performance in providing PPSDP International Journal of Education Volume 3 .

educational services to students and achieving planned educational goals.
Quality teacher performance must always be improved as much as possible so that the creation of good quality human resources .
can always be realized, and the educational institutions where teachers carry out their duties continue to try to provide motivation or encouragement so that teachers continue to work, but if the teacherAos performance is not good or not as expected, they need to receive more intensive coaching and guidance in order to be able to serve quality education and reduce the quality of low school education.
Based on this opinion, teacher work motivation is the strength that exists within a teacher to always carry out his duties well in carrying out educational activities such as carrying out teaching activities, mentoring students, and carrying out evaluation activities for students.
