This study aims to analyze the effect of teacher commitment and teacher attitudes on the implementation of the teacher certification program at SMP Bunda Kasih Makassar. Teacher certification is a strategic government initiative designed to enhance teacher competence and professionalism; however, its effectiveness is influenced by internal teacher factors, particularly professional commitment and attitudes toward educational policies. This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to all teachers at SMP Bunda Kasih Makassar. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques. The results show that teacher commitment and teacher attitudes simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on the implementation of the teacher certification program (R² = 0.62; F = 24.87; p < 0.001). Partially, teacher commitment (β = 0.41; p < 0.01) and teacher attitudes (β = 0.38; p < 0.01) each contribute significantly to program implementation. These findings indicate that the success of the certification program at the junior secondary school level is strongly supported by teachers’ professional commitment and positive attitudes toward policy objectives. Therefore, policy implementation should adopt a participatory and teacher-centered approach that emphasizes engagement, professional support, and clear communication to strengthen teacher commitment and foster constructive attitudes toward certification policies.
