A Model Evaluation of Judge Performance Through Job Satisfaction and Job Motivation in the Religious Court of West Sumatera

“…The relationship between job motivation has a significant effect on performance of judge who experienced mutation within province by t-value of 3,725 > 1,64 (one-tail). This result support previous result by Safrillah and Risal (2022). We argue that is due to a clear career path, as well as opportunities for judges currently serving in West Sumatra to learn and develop themselves, so that their work motivation is more driven by their long-term goals.…”

“…This result was triggered by the fact that most judges are very considerate of awards and respect for their expertise, because judge's who experienced mutation inter-provinces are more ambitious to become big leader and occupy higher structural positions. The results of this study are supported by several studies (Fokas 2015;Safrillah and Risal 2022), which states that the performance of religious court judges is significantly influenced by the level of their work motivation.…”

“…In the concept of religious courts, the performance of judges is more concerned with how precise and accurate the decision made in the court, because a judge's decision will determine the fate and dignity of a person, group of people, or an institution or organization (Bornstein and Miller 2009). The performance of each judge also affects the performance of the Religious Court due to an implementation of the main duties that are closely related to the functions which prioritize social justice based on religious values (Idri 2009;Safrillah and Risal 2022).…”

“…The division of performance targets aims to achieve high accuracy for the future performance of judges, so that each decision is correct and appropriate, because the duties and judicial powers of religious judges are related to justice regulated by divine law (Idri 2009). Several factors have been found that affect judge's performance including job satisfaction (Aisyah 2018), and job motivation (Safrillah and Risal 2022).…”
