The results of the descriptive analysis found that teacher’s work performance, pedagogical content knowledge and content knowledge were at a high level while teacher’s efficacy and the use of ICT in the classroom were at a moderate level. The correlation analysis showed that teacher’s efficacy, content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge and the use of ICT in the classroom had a significant relationship with teacher’s work performance. In addition, the PLS-SEM analysis found that content pedagogy knowledge showed the greatest influence on teacher’s work performances compared to other variables.

The use of ICT in the classroom showed significant negative relationship with the work performance of mathematics teachers compared to past studies with positive relationships. The negative relationship indicates that the use of ICT in the classroom by teachers at a higher rate has a relationship with the lower level of work performance of mathematics teachers and vice versa
