This study aims to analyze the influence of Government Contract (PPPK) teacher placement on the effectiveness and motivation of high school teachers in Tulung Selapan District. Employing a quantitative correlational approach, data were collected via questionnaires, observation, and documentation from a sample of 58 PPPK teachers and analyzed using multivariate linear regression and MANOVA. The key result is that placement location has no statistically significant effect on either teacher effectiveness (R²=0.004, p=0.637) or motivation (R²=0.001, p=0.778), as confirmed by MANOVA (Sig.=0.843). The novelty of this research lies in its counterintuitive findings, which challenge the common policy assumption that strategic placement is a primary driver of teacher performance within the Indonesian PPPK system. A major practical implication is that educational authorities should reallocate focus and resources from placement logistics toward strengthening teacher competence, professional development, and supportive school environments. This study contributes evidence-based insight to human resource management in education, suggesting that intrinsic factors and professional capacity are more critical for sustaining high teacher effectiveness and motivation than geographic or institutional assignment.
