The results show that teacher management process and principal instructional leadership have positive effects on perceived organizational support. Teachers’ perceived organizational support positively affect their perception and evaluation to pay results satisfaction. Teacher pay results satisfaction and principal instructional leadership also positively affect teacher performance, and teacher pay management process satisfaction doesn’t directly affect teacher performance.
