The Influence of Leadership and Human Resource Development on Employee Performance through Work Motivation at Bank Jatim HR. Muhammad

Abstract

Human resources are a strategic asset that plays a crucial role in determining an organization’s success, including in the banking sector, which faces increasingly intense competition and higher service demands. This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership and human resource development on employee performance through work motivation at Bank Jatim’s HR. Muhammad Branch. The study employs a quantitative associative approach using a saturation sampling technique involving 35 employees. Data were collected via a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression, path analysis, and the Sobel test with the assistance of SPSS software. The results indicate that leadership and human resource development have a positive and significant effect on work motivation. Furthermore, leadership, human resource development, and work motivation also have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The coefficient of determination indicates that leadership and human resource development account for 50.8% of the variation in work motivation, while leadership, human resource development, and work motivation together account for 63.8% of the variation in employee performance. However, the results of the Sobel test indicate that work motivation does not significantly mediate the effects of leadership or human resource development on employee performance. Therefore, organizations need to strengthen the quality of leadership and human resource development programs.
