In environment both Globalization and computerization, the importance of education is so emphasized than whatever. The results of education are greatly related with the process of teaching and teachers' sense of values, attitude, ability, action, and so on. To improve teacher's competitive power, they need to have a professionalism based on the artfulness. In addition, the education field provides some performance-based compensation system for ensuring excellent teachers. In line with this perspective, to change teacher society which degenerate the educational performance, korean educational government performed the performance-based compensation system to teachers through the evaluation of performance. The performance-based compensation system has a simple logic that the monetary compensation can change workers' motivation. In terms of that, this study examines to find some affirmative contribution on teacher's working process through the compensation system or to confirm the effectiveness of performance-based compensation system for teacher. If there are ineffective results, this research also tries to find obstacles toward these results and to provide some improvements on those obstacles. To measure teacher's cognition about the performance-based compensation system for teachers, this research employs a survey questionnaire; a 33-item of teacher's performance-based compensation system survey was constructed. The questionnaire was administered to 341 primary school's teachers at 23 Cities/Guns in Kyungbuk province. The questionnaire for the performance-based compensation system was composed by institutional perspective, operational perspective, teacher's cognition, and teacher's satisfaction. The research data are analyzed using two statistical methods: frequency and cross tabulation. The results of this study focused on the improvements of performance-based compensation system for elementary teachers can be summarized as follows: First of all, most number of respondents(teachers) according to research survey demonstrated their opposite opinion seriously about the performance-based compensation system. Even though teachers recognize the effectiveness of performance-based compensation system for their encouragement or development, as a kinds of educational incentive system, they show some negative emotion strongly because of its invalidity estimation system. That is, due to the lack of objectivity or the deficiency for the valuation system, they disagreed results of estimation and they don't accept the performance-based compensation system in field of education. Therefore, to increase its rationality or objectivity, this research suggests that the performance-based compensation system should be reformed with new measurement methods related to teacher's class. For example, teachers argue that they want to be estimated by teaching process based on their class. In addition, they want to be estimated for not individual level but school unit, as a collective level. On the other hand, because the process of estimation for teacher's performance-based compensation system is influenced extremely by the power of teacher's status or working years for education, it needs to be innovated with the justice or the equal opportunity of estimation. As a result, most important problems for teacher's performance-based compensation system are integrated by the injustice of compensation standard, the irrationality of estimation method, the weak openness of estimation process, the side effect related with the power of status or working years for education field. To remedy these problems, this study suggests that the educational performance-based compensation system should be developed with the fairness of estimation, the restructuring of estimation method based on rationality, the improvement of institutional problems or operational conflicts, the openness of estimation process, and the diversification of compensation way for teachers.
