Analysis of Work Discipline and Work Motivation on Employee Performance through Organizational Commitment as an Intervening Variable at the West Medan Sub-district Office
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the role of work involvement in mediating the influence of leadership and competence on employee performance at the West Medan Sub-district Office. This study uses a quantitative approach with a population of 60 employees of the State Civil Apparatus at the West Medan Sub-district Office. The sampling technique uses saturated sampling, so that all members of the population are used as research samples. Primary data was collected through questionnaire deployment and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling method with the help of the SmartPLS application. The results of the study show that leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee performance and work engagement. Competency also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance and work engagement. Furthermore, work involvement has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The results of the indirect influence test showed that work involvement was able to mediate the influence of leadership on employee performance and mediate the influence of competence on employee performance. The R-square value of work involvement of 0.302 indicates that leadership and competence are able to explain work involvement by 30.2%. The R-square value of employee performance of 0.518 indicates that leadership, competence, and work involvement are able to explain employee performance by 51.8%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that work involvement plays a role as a partial mediation in the influence of leadership and competence on employee performance.
