The Effect of Work Discipline and Motivation on Employee Performance at PT Georn Satria Nusantara

Abstract

This study examines the role of work discipline and work motivation in improving employee performance at PT Georn Satria Nusantara. In the context of increasing business competition, organizations are required to optimize human resource performance through effective management of behavioral and psychological factors. The purpose of this research is to analyze both the partial and simultaneous effects of work discipline and motivation on employee performance. This study employed a quantitative approach using an associative method, with data collected from 129 employees selected through simple random sampling from a population of 190 employees. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression supported by statistical tests including validity, reliability, normality, and hypothesis testing. The results indicate that both work discipline and work motivation have positive and significant effects on employee performance, both individually and simultaneously. Work discipline contributes to punctuality, compliance, and task responsibility, while motivation enhances enthusiasm, initiative, and commitment to organizational goals. The coefficient of determination shows that these variables explain a substantial proportion of performance variation. In conclusion, improving employee discipline and motivation simultaneously can significantly enhance performance outcomes, making them essential strategic factors for organizational success and productivity improvement
