Improving Employee Performance through Work Motivation and Work Environment at PERUMDAM Tirta Darma Ayu
Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to analyse and determine the effect of work motivation and work environment on employee performance at PERUMDAM Tirta Darma Ayu in Indramayu Regency. This study was conducted to understand the extent to which these two factors can improve employee performance in supporting the achievement of organisational goals.
Design/methodology/approach: This study used a quantitative approach with a population comprising all employees of PERUMDAM Tirta Darma Ayu. A saturated sampling technique was used in this study, whereby the entire population was sampled. However, out of 147 employees, only 85 employees completed the questionnaire, resulting in a response rate of 57.82%. The data collection method in this study used a Likert scale questionnaire, while the analysis technique used was multiple linear regression analysis with the help of IBM SPSS version 29 for Windows.
Findings: Both work motivation (with a significance value of <0.001 > 0.05) and work environment (with a significance value of 0.059 > 0.05) did not significantly affect employee performance, according to the results of the study. However, it turns out that work motivation has a significant impact on employee performance (with a significance value of <0.001 < 0.05). Overall, a significant relationship was found between work motivation, work environment and employee performance (with an F value of 22.671 and significance <.001 < 0.05).
Research limitations/implications: This study has limitations in terms of the scope of the research object, which was only conducted at one institution, namely PERUMDAM Tirta Darma Ayu, with a limited number of respondents. In addition, the variables studied only covered work motivation and work environment, so there is still the possibility that other variables affect employee performance, such as leadership, compensation, and job satisfaction.
Practical implications: The results of this study can be used as consideration for company management in improving employee performance through efforts to increase work motivation, such as giving awards, career development, and creating a comfortable, safe, and conducive work environment so that it can support employee productivity and the achievement of organisational goals optimally.
