Leadership, Motivation, And Performance: Decoding Workplace Dynamics at PT Duta Kekar Plasindo Sragen

Farhan Humam Azizy, Muhammad Sholahuddin

Employee performance constitutes a fundamental determinant of organisational productivity and operational effectiveness within the manufacturing sector. This study investigates the extent to which leadership style and work motivation influence employee performance at PT Duta Kekar Plasindo Sragen. Adopting a quantitative research approach, the study collected data through a structured questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. The survey was administered to all 100 active employees using a census sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) through SmartPLS software.
The survey data were analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) implemented in SmartPLS to evaluate the proposed research model and test the hypothesised relationships among the study variables. The model produced an R² value of 0.496, indicating that these two factors jointly account for 49.6 per cent of the variance in employee performance. The study's originality derives from its examination of a regional manufacturing enterprise in Sragen, a context that has received limited scholarly attention in relation to the interplay between leadership, employee motivation, and performance outcomes. The findings extend the human resource management literature by providing empirical evidence that effective leadership practices and enhanced employee motivation represent critical strategic mechanisms for improving workforce performance in manufacturing organisations.
Keywords: Leadership Style, Work Motivation, Employee Performance, Productivity, Human Resources
