Influence of Work Culture and Work Motivation on Employee Performance through Work Discipline Intervention Variable
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the influence of work culture and work motivation on employee performance through work discipline as an intervening variable at the Department of Cooperatives, Industry and Trade–UKM Mojokerto.
Research Methodology: The study involved 50 employees as respondents using the census sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using path analysis to examine direct and indirect relationships among variables.
Results: The results show that work culture has a positive but insignificant effect on employee performance (T = 1.578; p = 0.115 ≥ 0.05). Work motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance (T = 5.584; p = 0.000 < 0.05), and work discipline also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance (T = 3.398; p = 0.001 < 0.05). Furthermore, work culture significantly affects work discipline (T = 4.669; p = 0.000 < 0.05), as does work motivation (T = 5.578; p = 0.000 < 0.05). In addition, work culture has a significant indirect effect on employee performance through work discipline (T = 2.447; p = 0.015 < 0.05), and work motivation also has a significant indirect effect on employee performance through work discipline (T = 3.603; p = 0.000 < 0.05).
Conclusions: Work motivation and work discipline significantly influence employee performance, while work culture does not have a direct significant effect. However, work discipline plays an important mediating role in strengthening the relationship between work culture, work motivation, and employee performance.
Limitations: This study is limited to 50 employees of the Department of Cooperatives, Industry, and Trade-UKM Mojokerto; therefore, the findings may not be fully generalizable to other public institutions or private organizations.
Contributions: This study contributes to the development of human resource management literature by explaining the mediating role of work discipline in the relationship between work culture, work motivation, and employee performance.
