ABSTRACT (HEADING 1)
Improving the quality of human resources can enhance a company's performance, which is
crucial in today's increasingly competitive job market. To create products or services that
benefit society, companies need to continuously improve their employees' performance. Many
factors can affect employee performance, such as leadership, workload, and motivation. The
purpose of this study is to analyze several things, including the effect of leadership on
performance, the effect of workload on performance, the effect of motivation on performance,
the effect of leadership on motivation, the effect of workload on motivation, and whether
leadership and workload have an indirect effect on performance mediated by motivation at the
Immigration Office Class I Special TPI Medan. Using associative research, this study
sampled 71 employees of the Immigration Office Class I Special TPI Medan. Data collection
techniques included questionnaires, and partial least squares (SmartPls) was used for data
analysis to test the seven hypotheses proposed in this study. The results indicate that
leadership's effect on performance is not significant, workload's effect on performance is
significant, motivation's effect on performance is significant, the effect of leadership on
motivation is significant, the effect of workload on motivation is significant, motivation as a
mediator variable acts as mediation on the effect of leadership on performance, and
motivation as a mediator variable does not act as mediation on the effect of workload on
performance.
METHODS
This study was conducted at the Special Class I Immigration Office for TPI in Medan,
located at Jalan Gatot Subroto No. 268A, Medan. The study was carried out from June 2022 to
February 2023. The research approach used in this study is associative and quantitative
(Ratnawati, 2020). The reason the author chose an associative study as the research method is
because this study aims to examine the effect of leadership and workload on performance
mediated by work enthusiasm. The reason for choosing this study is because the method uses
systematic, concrete/empirical, objective, measurable, rational, and systematic measures and
calculations.
Results Description
This study collected questionnaire data from 71 employees on variables including
leadership, workload, work motivation, and performance, which were analyzed using the
Likert method. Most respondents were male and aged 31-40, with a majority holding a
bachelor's degree. The study found that employees agreed with statements related to
leadership, workload, performance, and work motivation, indicating positive attitudes towards
these areas. Specifically, employees were capable of handling their workload, completing
tasks on time, and giving their best performance, while also showing good work motivation
related to teamwork, punctuality, and ambition. These findings contrasted with initial concerns
about gaps among employees.
Data analysis
a. Outer model
Measurement model analysis (outer model) was conducted using two tests, namely: (1)
Construct reliability and validity, and (2) Discriminant Validity. The reliability of a construct's
scores must be sufficiently high. The Composite Reliability criteria are > 0.6 according to
Bagozzi and Yi; Chin & Dibbern (Juliandi, 2018).
Based on the comprosite reliability values, it can be concluded that the composite
reliability testing results are as follows: (1) Variable X1 (leadership) is reliable, as the
composite reliability value for X1 is 0.846 > 0.6; (2) Variable X2 (workload) is reliable, as the
composite reliability value for X2 is 0.850 > 0.6; (3) Variable Y (performance) is reliable, as
the composite reliability value for Y is 0.840 > 0.6; and (4) Variable Z (work motivation) is
reliable, as the composite reliability value for Z is 0.735 > 0.6.
The concept of discriminant validity refers to the extent to which a construct is truly
different from other constructs (i.e., unique) (Asbari et al., 2021). The best criterion for
measuring discriminant validity is to examine the value of the Heterotrait-Monotrait Ratio
(HTMT). If the value of HTMT is less than 0.90, then a construct has good discriminant
validity.
The results of the Heterotrait-Monotrait Ratio (HTMT) test can be summarized as
follows: (1) The relationship between variable X1 (leadership) and X2 (workload) has an
HTMT value of 0.714, indicating good discriminant validity or a unique construct; (2) The
relationship between variable X1 (leadership) and Y (performance) has an HTMT value of
0.679, indicating good discriminant validity or a unique construct; (3) The relationship
between variable X2 (workload) and Y (performance) has an HTMT value of 0.934, indicating
poor discriminant validity; (4) The relationship between variable X1 (leadership) and Z (work
motivation) has an HTMT value of 0.839, indicating good discriminant validity or a unique
construct; (5) The relationship between variable X2 (workload) and Z (work motivation) has
an HTMT value of 0.941, indicating poor discriminant validity; (6) The relationship between
variable Y (performance) and Z (work motivation) has an HTMT value of 0.962, indicating
poor discriminant validity.
b. Inner Model
Structural model analysis uses 5 tests, including: (1) R-square; (2) f-square; (3)
Mediation effects: (a) Direct effect; (b) Indirect effect; and (c) Total effects. The results of the
tests are presented below.
(1) R-square
The conclusion of the R-square test in this research is as follows: (1) Adjusted R-Square
Model Path I = 0.656. This means that the ability of variable Y (performance) to explain Z
(work motivation) is 65.6%, so the model is considered moderate (medium); and (2) Adjusted
R-Square Model Path II = 0.625. This means that the ability of variables Y (performance) and
Z (work motivation) to explain X1 (leadership) is 62.5%, so the model is considered moderate
(medium).
(2) F-Square
The conclusion of the f-Square values in this research are as follows: (1) The variable
X1 (leadership) on Y (performance) has an f2 value of 0.006, indicating a small effect of the
exogenous variable on the endogenous variable; (2) The variable X2 (workload) on Y
(performance) has an f2 value of 0.379, indicating a large effect of the exogenous variable on
the endogenous variable; (3) The variable X1 (leadership) on Z (work motivation) has an f2
value of 0.278, indicating a moderate effect of the exogenous variable on the endogenous
variable; (4) The variable X2 (workload) on Z (work motivation) has an f2 value of 0.512,
indicating a large effect of the exogenous variable on the endogenous variable; (5) The
variable Z (work motivation) on Y (performance) has an f2 value of 0.108, indicating a
moderate effect of the exogenous variable on the endogenous variable.
c. Mediation effects
Mediation effects analysis consists of three sub-analyses: (a) direct effect; (b) indirect
effect; and (c) total effect :
Discussions
a. The effect of leadership on performance
Good and proper leadership will improve employee performance to achieve the goals
set by the organization. The effect of leadership on performance produces a path coefficient
value of 0.059 with a P-Value of 0.693 (>0.05) which indicates that the effect of leadership on
performance is positive but not significant for employees at the Immigration Office Class I
Special TPI Medan.
This finding suggests that: (1) the positive value indicates that if leadership values
increase, employee performance will also increase; (2) the insignificant value means that good
and appropriate leadership can significantly effect employee performance at work. Therefore,
leadership at the Immigration Office Class I Special TPI Medan should pay attention to
several leadership styles, attitudes, or models of leadership, as employees may not agree with
the leadership in this office because they feel there are things that do not match the wishes of
some of the employees, such as motivating employees to work.
The results of this study are in line with research conducted by Gede & Gunapatra
(2017) which states that leadership has no significant effect on performance. This study also
contradicts the results of research conducted by Wahyudi et al. (2022) which state that there is
a positive and significant effect of leadership on performance.
CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, the research findings suggest that leadership, workload, and work motivation
have different effects on performance at the Special Class 1 Immigration Office TPI Medan.
While leadership has a positive and significant effect on work motivation, it has an
insignificant effect on performance. On the other hand, workload has a positive and significant
effect on performance, and work motivation has a positive and significant effect on both
performance and work motivation. To improve performance, the recommendations include
enhancing leadership qualities, managing workload, and providing more support and
motivation for employees. However, this research is not without limitations, such as potential
response bias and a small sample size. Future studies could explore these variables further in
larger samples to gain a more comprehensive understanding of their effects.
