Leadership Style, Discipline, and Work Environment: Effects on Employee Performance via Job Satisfaction

2026-07-09T06:13:30+00:00

Purpose: This study aimed to determine and analyze the determinants of leadership style, discipline, and work environment on employee performance through employee job satisfaction at the Bintan Regency Community Health Center.

Methodology: An associative causal design was used, with questionnaire data collected from 236 civil servants across 15 Bintan Regency Health Centers through purposive sampling, analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial
Least Squares (SEM-PLS) and path analysis.

Results: Leadership style, discipline, and work environment each had a positive and significant direct effect on performance (p=0.041, 0.002, 0.004) and job satisfaction had a significant direct effect on performance (p=0.006). Discipline and work environment significantly affected job satisfaction (p=0.003, 0.010), while leadership style did not (p=0.065). Job satisfaction did not mediate leadership style's effect on performance (p=0.553), but significantly mediated discipline (p=0.003) and work environment (p=0.023).

Conclusions: Leadership style, discipline, and work
environment all directly strengthen performance, and job satisfaction mediates discipline and work environment but not leadership style.

Limitations: The causal survey design, confined to one regency's health centers, cannot fully rule out confounding factors and may not generalize elsewhere.

Contributions: This research clarifies which human resource levers most reliably improve performance through job satisfaction in Indonesian primary health care administration.

Transactional Leadership, Organizational Commitment, and Competence: Effects on Performance via Work Motivation

2026-07-09T06:15:39+00:00

Purpose: This study analyzes the influence of transactional leadership style, organizational commitment, and competence on employee performance, directly and through work motivation as an intervening variable, at the Regional Secretariat of Karimun Regency.

Methodology: A quantitative design was used, distributing a Likert-scale questionnaire to 144 civil servants and government-contracted employees at the Regional Secretariat, analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling.

Results: Transactional leadership style, organizational
commitment, and competence each had a positive but nonsignificant direct effect on performance (p=0.416, 0.561, 0.343). Each had a positive and significant direct effect on work motivation (p=0.006, 0.002, 0.000), and work motivation had a significant direct effect on performance (p=0.000). Work motivation significantly and fully mediated the effects of all three predictors on performance (p=0.014, 0.003, 0.000).

Conclusions: Work motivation is the decisive mechanism linking leadership style, commitment, and competence to performance, since none of the three predictors significantly improves performance directly, only through strengthened motivation.

Limitations: The study is confined to one regional secretariat and relies on cross-sectional self-reported data, limiting causal inference and generalizability.

Contributions: This research clarifies that work motivation, not leadership style, commitment, or competence alone, is the critical lever for civil servant performance, informing targeted policy in Indonesian regional government.

Work Stress and Work Discipline on Employee Performance at PT Fast Food Indonesia Tbk

2026-08-04T07:48:38+00:00

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of work stress and work discipline on employee performance at PT Fast Food Indonesia Tbk and examine the simultaneous influence of both variables.

Methodology: This study employed a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The sample consisted of 40 employees selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS through validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, and the coefficient of determination test.

Results: The findings reveal that work stress has a negative and significant effect on employee performance, while work discipline has a positive and significant effect. Simultaneously, work stress and work discipline significantly influence employee performance at PT Fast Food Indonesia Tbk.

Conclusion: The study concludes that effective stress management and improved work discipline are important factors in enhancing employee performance. Organizations should develop appropriate strategies to minimize excessive work stress and strengthen discipline practices.

Limitations: This study is limited by the small sample size and its focus on a single company, which may affect the generalizability of the findings.

Contribution: This study provides empirical evidence on human resource management by highlighting the importance of managing work stress and discipline to improve employee performance.

The Influence Of Promotion Intensity And Location On Sunlight Product Purchase Decisions In Lion Bekasi

2026-08-04T06:43:47+00:00

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the influence of promotion intensity and location on purchasing decisions of Sunlight products at Lion Super Indo Jakasampurna, Bekasi. The study focuses on understanding factors that affect consumer decisions in the competitive modern retail sector.
Research Methodology: This study employed a quantitative associative approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 91 Sunlight consumers. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and the coefficient of determination (R²) to examine the partial and simultaneous effects of promotion intensity and location on purchasing decisions.
Results: The findings indicate that promotion intensity has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions, while location does not have a significant influence. Simultaneously, promotion intensity and location significantly affect purchasing decisions. The coefficient of determination reveals that both variables explain 25.9% of purchasing decision variance, while 74.1% is influenced by other factors.
Conclusions: Promotion intensity is the dominant factor influencing consumers’ purchasing decisions for Sunlight products. Strengthening promotional strategies is essential to increase consumer purchase interest.
Limitations: This study is limited to one retail location and a specific consumer group, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings.
Contributions: This study provides practical insights for retail managers in developing effective promotional strategies and contributes to marketing literature by examining promotional and location factors in consumer purchasing behavior.
