This quantitative study examined the relationships of human relations and the work environment with work ethic and teacher performance at Sultan Agung Private Elementary School, Pematangsiantar, Indonesia. Using an observational survey design, data were collected from 40 respondents through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using regression analysis. The results revealed that human relations and the work environment were individually and jointly significantly associated with work ethic and teacher performance ((p < .001)). The two predictors jointly explained 61.2% of the variance in work ethic and 56.4% of the variance in teacher performance. These findings highlight the relevance of interpersonal relationships and workplace conditions in understanding work ethic and teacher performance within the studied school context.
