School as a learning organization through strengthened self-efficacy and empowered preschool teachers

Abstract

A school as a learning organisation (LO) is indispensable today. However, the limitations of schools in human resources (teacher) problems, infrastructure facilities and funds become real obstacles. This research is carried out to find a LO model based on strengthening self-efficacy and empowering teachers. The research was conducted with a quantitative approach, a causal associative type with survey methods involving 237 pre-elementary teachers. Samples are determined by using a simple random sampling technique. Data analysis uses regression analysis to test aspects of relationships and direct influence between independent and dependent variables. The main result of this research is a positive causality relationship, and if the self-efficacy and empowerment of teachers are high, then the LO will be increased significantly. Strengthening the LO through self-efficacy and teacher empowerment is very important because it can improve the quality of graduates.
