This study aims to identify the influence of Interpersonal
Communication and Resource Competence on Teacher Performance
at State Junior High School 269 Jakarta in implementing the
independent curriculum. Interpersonal Communication barriers
between Teachers and Students, as well as excessive teacher
workloads, cause the technical performance of teachers to be the
lowest among other performance areas. This study uses a descriptive
approach to detail how Interpersonal Communication and Resource
Competence affect Teacher Performance at State Junior High
School 269 Jakarta in implementing the independent curriculum.
Data were obtained through questionnaires and analyzed using
Multiple Linear Regression with SPSS 26. The population consisted
of principals, Teachers, Students, and Support Staff, with a sample
of 222 respondents using proportional Stratified Random Sampling.
The results of the study show that: (1) Interpersonal Communication
has a positive but the lowest influence compared to other variables
on Teacher Performance, with a t-test value of 15.124 > 1.971; (2)
Resource Competence has a positive and dominant influence
compared to other independent variables on Teacher Performance,
with a t-test value of 20.282 > 1.971;(3) The combined influence of
Interpersonal Communication and Resource Competence is 85.3%,
with an f-test result of 161.646 > 3.04. The implications of this study
suggest the need for balanced training on Interpersonal
Communication and Resource Competence, focusing on effective
Interpersonal Communication techniques and student-centered
teaching strategies. Additionally, it highlights the importance of
strong motivation from teachers to develop themselves post-training
to avoid stagnation, thereby improving technical performance
