Abstract

Teachers have an essential role as spearheads in implementing the entire educational process. The pandemic conditions have an unpleasant effect on the process of educational activities. One of the effects of the pandemic is that universities, schools and their students start working and carrying out the educational process from home with online digital platforms for distance education and teaching systems. In Indonesia, several educational institutions have started implementing policies for remote working activities. In this case, one of the things that must consider is the job satisfaction of the teachers who are required to carry out online learning activities that they conduct distance learning. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential to keep students motivated as classes move online. However, teacher motivation must also get a lot of attention, sometimes even ignoring the importance of their motivation in the profession. This research can be helpful for the South Tangerang Education and Culture Office as an operational consideration in the decision-making of principals and teachers. It focuses more on optimizing online learning media to improve student learning satisfaction. This research uses a quantitative approach using the postpositivist paradigm, with 95 respondents being junior high school teachers in South Tangerang City. The analysis technique in this study is the Structural Equation Model (SEM) using the SmartPLS program. This research indicates that motivation affects job satisfaction positively and significantly, remote working affects job satisfaction positively and significantly, and social environment affects job satisfaction positively and significantly.
