Optimizing Performance: The Role of Job Rotation in Employee Motivation and Satisfaction

Abstract

This study aims to understand the effect of job rotation on employee performance through job satisfaction and motivation at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham). The research methodology employs a quantitative approach with surveys as the data collection method. The research population comprises all employees at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, specifically in the Directorate General of Intellectual Property, using purposive sampling to yield 262 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the assistance of AMOS software. The study concludes that although job rotation can directly enhance employee performance, it can decrease employees' work motivation. Therefore, planning job rotation should be conducted carefully and accompanied by adequate training programs to minimize the negative impact on work motivation. Proper implementation of job rotation can assist organizations in optimizing the potential of their human resources and achieving strategic goals. This research provides theoretical contributions to human resource management and practical information for organizations to consider factors of job satisfaction and motivation in the application of job rotation.
