The Influence Of Leadership Style, Work Environment, And Workload On Employee Performance At The Binjai City Education Office
Abstract
Employee performance at the Binjai City Education Office has not been fully optimal, requiring an examination of the organizational factors that influence it. This study analyzes the effects of leadership style, work environment, and workload on employee performance. A quantitative associative design was applied to a saturated sample of 61 civil servants, government contract employees, and honorary employees. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using multiple linear regression in SPSS after instrument-quality and classical-assumption testing. Leadership style had a positive and significant effect on employee performance (t = 2.694; p = 0.009), and workload also had a positive and significant effect (t = 4.556; p < 0.001), whereas the work environment had no significant effect (t = 1.960; p = 0.055). Simultaneously, the three variables had a significant effect (F = 131.869; p < 0.001) and explained 86.7% of the variation in employee performance. The study is limited to one institution and a relatively small sample. The findings highlight the importance of improving leadership quality and managing workloads proportionally to strengthen employee performance.
