Abstract: This study investigates the influence of organizational climate and work environment on teacher performance at SMK Harapan Ummat, a vocational secondary school in Indonesia. Adopting a quantitative research design, data were collected from all 30 teachers at the school through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression in SPSS. The results demonstrate that organizational climate and work environment each exert a positive and statistically significant influence on teacher performance, both individually and jointly, with work environment emerging as the more dominant of the two predictors. Together, the two variables account for a substantial share of the variance in teacher performance, underscoring their complementary explanatory power. These findings suggest that school leadership should pursue two parallel strategies to strengthen teacher performance: cultivating a supportive organizational climate — characterized by open communication, collegial relationships, and consistent leadership support — and ensuring a comfortable, well-equipped physical work environment. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on human resource management within educational institutions, particularly in the context of vocational secondary education in Indonesia, and offers practical guidance for school administrators seeking to enhance instructional quality through organizational and environmental interventions.
