THE INFLUENCE OF WORK MOTIVATION AND WORK ENVIRONMENT ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN THE HF WELDING DEPARTMENT AT PT PRATAMA ABADI INDUSTRI SUKABUMI

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of employee performance in supporting company productivity, particularly at PT Pratama Abadi Industri Sukabumi in the HF Welding department. The indication of declining performance is suspected to be influenced by suboptimal work motivation and work environment. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of work motivation (X1) on employee performance (Y), the effect of work environment (X2) on employee performance (Y), and the simultaneous effect of both variables on the performance of employees in the HF Welding department. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a survey technique. The population of this study consists of employees in the HF Welding department, with a sample size of 60 respondents. Data were collected through literature study, observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The analysis techniques include classical assumption tests, multiple regression analysis, coefficient of determination test, and hypothesis testing. The results show that work motivation has a significant effect on employee performance with a t-value (14.464 > 2.000) and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05. The work environment also has a significant effect with a t-value (5.274 > 2.000) and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05. Simultaneously, work motivation and work environment have a significant effect on employee performance based on the F-test (4.577 > 3.06). The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.798 indicates that both variables explain 79.8% of the variation in employee performance, while the remaining 20.2% is influenced by other factors outside this study.
