Analysis of Ethical Leadership, Workload, and Work Stress on Employee Performance in the Sentosa Park Medan Housing Project
Abstract
Employee performance in housing projects is shaped not only by technical capability but also by leadership quality and day-to-day job demands. Purpose: This study analyzes the effects of ethical leadership, workload, and work stress on employee performance at the Sentosa Park Medan Housing Project. Research methodology: A causal-associative quantitative design was applied using saturated sampling of 45 contract employees. Data were collected through a five-point Likert questionnaire, observation, and literature study, and were analyzed with multiple linear regression in SPSS 25, including instrument testing, classical assumption tests, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. Results: Ethical leadership (t=5.343; p<0.001), workload (t=6.640; p<0.001), and work stress (t=6.759; p<0.001) had positive and significant effects on performance. Simultaneously, F=47.198; p<0.001 and Adjusted R²=0.759. Limitations: The study was limited to 45 respondents within a single housing project. Contribution: The findings provide a basis for property-project management to strengthen ethical leadership, allocate workload proportionally, and manage work pressure at a productive level.
