Motivasi Kinerja Karyawan PT X Industri Manufaktur

Abstract

Employee performance is an important aspect of achieving organizational goals, particularly in the manufacturing industry, which requires consistency, accuracy, responsibility, and achievement of work targets. Work motivation is one psychological factor associated with individual effort and persistence in performing work tasks. This study aimed to examine the relationship between work motivation and employee performance at PT X, a manufacturing company. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The participants consisted of 120 employees of PT X who were selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using a work motivation scale modified based on the motivator factors of Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory and an employee performance scale. Data were analyzed using Spearman Rank correlation because the data did not meet the normality assumption. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between work motivation and employee performance, with a low strength of association. The finding indicates that higher work motivation is associated with a tendency toward higher employee performance. This study provides empirical evidence regarding the relationship between motivational factors within the job and employee performance in a manufacturing context.
