Introduction Employees are expected to perform satisfactorily and maximally contribute to the achievement of the goals of the organization. Performance is the appropriateness of work results in relation to the expected standards (Christian, Garza, & Slaughter, 2011; Tierney & Farmer, 2011). In general, it is driven by a motive to achieve under workloads based on the skills, experience, and the commitment of the concerned employees (Cohen, Dierkes, & Bradley, 2011). Also, performance can be defined as a result achieved by certain functions and positions within a specified period based on the level of achievement of organizational goals (Buller & McEvoy, 2012; Dobre, 2013). A school is an organization with specific goals, objectives, visions, and missions that need to be realized. It requires a superb performance since teachers are form part of its structure (Darling-Hammond, 2010; Dee & Wyckoff, 2015; West, 2013). Performance refers to the outcome of implementing professional and functional tasks in learning over a certain period (Guarino, Reckase, & Wooldridge, 2015; Taylor & Tyler, 2012; Woessmann, 2011). It involves implementing tasks assigned to teachers based on ability, experience, seriousness, and the use of time to accomplish responsibilities. For the tasks and responsibilities to follow predetermined standards, there is a need for organizational development support, mainly from the principal (Ball, 2012; Reynolds, 2010). Organizational development encourage stakeholders in the school to work optimally and create excellent performance (Benn, Edwards, & Williams, 2014; Gable & Wolf, 2012; Horner, Sugai, & Anderson, 2010). An inappropriate organization development hampers the implementation of work and hurts performance (Benn, et al., 2014; Cummings & Worley, 2014). Although teachers are expected to perform based on the set standards, they often do not achieve (Elliott, 2015; Harris & Sass, 2014; Hyslop-Margison & Sears, 2010). Organizational development needs to guide the actions of every teacher to improve productivity (Thoonen, Sleegers, Oort, Peetsma, & Geijsel, 2011). It is a planned effort initiated by process experts to help an organization develop its diagnostic skills, performance?.

In general organizational development is a set of interventions built on democratic humanistic values to improve effectiveness and welfare of employees (Anderson, 2019; Benn, et al., 2014; Boyd, 2010). It aims to create order in the organization to improve effectiveness through planned interventions with behavioral science. Therefore, this study analyzes the contribution of organizational development to teacher performance. Method This study uses quantitative non-experimental methods (Blundell & Costa Dias, 2000), which are descriptive and correlational (Lappe, 2000) to determine the contribution between two variables by measuring the coefficient and its significance. The population included all teachers in Nanggalo District Elementary School, with a total sample of 86. Data collection uses teacher performance and organizational development questionnaires. Also, simple regression and correlation techniques are used to analyze data. Result and Discussions Descriptive analysis Teacher performance The teacher performance questionnaire comprised of 37 items. The minimum and maximum scores are 37 and 259, respectively. Based on respondents’ answers, the lowest and the highest scores are 187 and 229, respectively. The average data processing score was 206.80, while mode and median are 199 and 207, with a standard deviation of 9.422. The average score price, mode, and median is not much different and does not exceed one standard deviation. This means that the distribution of teacher performance is normal. An illustration of the frequency distribution of teacher performance scores is shown in Table 1: Table 1. Frequency distribution of teacher performance scores Interval Class Frequency % 187 – 192 4 4.65 193 – 198 11 12.79 199 – 204 22 25.58 205 – 210 20 23.26 211 – 216 15 17.44 217 – 222 10 11.63 223 – 228 3 3.49 229 – 234 1 1.16 Sum 86 Based on the calculations in Table 1, the frequency of teacher performance is 25.58%. The table shows that 17.44%, and 82.56% of respondents scored below and above the average value respectively. The difference in average score, median, and mode does not exceed one standard deviation, and the distribution of teacher performance data is normal. The level of achievement of respondents’ scores on teacher performance was 89.90%, which is in a good category. Therefore, teacher performance is in a good category. The results of the analysis of the level of achievement of each teacher performance indicator are presented in Table 2 below. http://dx.doi.org/10.23916/0020190425240 COUNS-EDU  Vol.4, No.4, 2019 Available online: http://journal.konselor.or.id/index.php/counsedu Nellitawati, N How does organizational development contribute to teacher performance?| 159 Indonesian Counselor Association (IKI) | DOI : https://doi.org/10.23916/0020190425240 Table 2.

However, the two indicators in the sufficient category still need to be increased, including a professional responsibility, which indicates performance. Essentially, teacher performance will not be good in case the professional responsibilities are not carried out (Ambrosetti, 2011; Dang, 2013; Taylor & Tyler, 2012). This principle of responsibility is an obligation that all professionals need to fulfill. The organizational development questionnaire comprised of 37 items. The minimum and the maximum scores were 36 and 252, respectively. Based on respondents’ answers, the lowest and the highest scores were 185 and 238, respectively. From the results, the mean score was 213.97. Additionally, mode and median were 211 and 213.00, respectively, with a standard deviation of 10,345. The average score value, mode, the median were not much different and did not exceed one standard deviation. This means that the distribution of organizational development is normal. An illustration of the frequency distribution of teacher performance scores is shown in Table 3: Table 3.

Also, 20 (23.27%) and 66 (76.73%) respondents scored below and above the average value, respectively. Since the difference in average score, median and mode do not exceed one standard deviation, the distribution of organizational development data is normal. The level of achievement of respondents for each indicator of organizational development is presented in Table 4. http://dx.doi.org/10.23916/0020190425240 COUNS-EDU  The International Journal of Counseling and Education Vol.4, No. 4, 2019 How does organizational development contribute to teacher performance?| 160 Indonesian Counselor Association (IKI) | DOI : https://doi.org/10.23916/0020190425240 Table 4.

This means that these two indicators still need to be improved. The first and second indicators develop diagnostic skills and a relationship strategy, respectively. Developing relationship strategies in organizational development are the main things that need to be prioritized (Kraimer, Seibert, Wayne, Liden, & Bravo, 2011; Lengnick- Hall, Beck, & Lengnick-Hall, 2011). However, the results show it is in a sufficient category, and therefore, there is a need to improve it. In an organization, building relationships between workers is one of the determining factors for goal achievement. A good relationship between members fosters mutual respect, care, and support, forming strong cooperation. Normality test Testing the normality of the teacher performance, variable scores, and development, was based on the Kolmogorov Smirnov-Z technique (SPSS program version 20). Data is said to be generally distributed in case K-S has a significant level (asymp. sig)> 0.05. Suppose the significance level (asymp. sig) <0.05, then the data are not normally distributed. The results of the examination are in Table 5: Table 5. Summary of normality test results Teacher Performance Organizational Development Democratic Leadership Style Kolmogorov-Smirnov Z P 0.740 0.643 0.679 0.745 1.004 0.265 From Table 5, the significance value of each variable is greater than alpha 0.05. Therefore, the data normality has been fulfilled. Homogeneity Test The homogeneity test is carried out to determine the similarity of variance tied to teacher performance variables using the Levene test method. In case the significant value is over 0.05, the variants of two or more data groups are the same. The homogeneity test using the Leven technique with SPSS version 20.00 involves looking at the asymp.sig value> 0.05, which means the research data is from the same variance (homogeneous). In case the asmp.sig value <0.05, the research data is from unequal variance as shown in Table 6. Table 6. Results of the variance similarity test Prices for groups Levene Statistic Sig. Conclusion Organizational Development 2,358 0,006 Homogenous The results of teacher performance calculations on organizational development are homogeneous. Linearity test This regression test is conducted to determine the data of organizational development in terms of linear lines against teacher performance. Decisions regarding a linear regression line are assessed through the F http://dx.doi.org/10.23916/0020190425240 COUNS-EDU  Vol.4, No.4, 2019 Available online: http://journal.konselor.or.id/index.php/counsedu Nellitawati, N How does organizational development contribute to teacher performance?| 161 Indonesian Counselor Association (IKI) | DOI : https://doi.org/10.23916/0020190425240 test with a significance level of 0.05.

Contribution of organizational development to teacher performance The results show that organizational development significantly contributes to teacher performance, precisely with 5.4%. The regression equation obtained between the development and teacher performance is = 161.48 + 0.212 X1. This shows that when X1 has not affected Y, the value is 161.48, and when X1 influences Y, it changes to 161.48 + 0.212. The regression equation shows that organizational development contributes significantly to teacher performance. Organizational development needs to be increased to enhance teacher performance through new policies and strategies. Conclusion Organizational development in this study was included in both good and sufficient categories, with a contribution of 5.4% to teachers’ performance in Nanggalo District Elementary School by 5.4%. This means that organizational development has a significant positive contribution to teacher’s performance in schools. References Ambrosetti, A. (2011).
