The Performance Improvement of the Indonesian Air Force Influenced by Leadership Style and Motivation

Abstract

People working in organizations as members will be influenced by many characteristics, such as attributes, attitudes, values, desires, and interests. What determines a leader's leadership style is not how they see themselves as leading but how other people, particularly their subordinates, perceive them. The critical issue in this study is the mismatch between theory and reality or execution since it will lower members' motivation, which will impact productivity. This study aims to examine the relationship between leadership style and performance, as well as the influence of both on the performance of members of the Air Squadron Supplies Corps 4 Wing 2 Lanud Abd. pious. Quantitative multiple regression analysis design is the research methodology used. A quantitative method with an explanatory research design was used in this study. A questionnaire that would be distributed to members of the 4th Air Squadron Supply Corps served as the study's instrument. This study used descriptive and inferential data analysis methods based on statistical formulas to analyze the data. The study's findings show that motivation and leadership style significantly improve performance. Together, these two variables account for 80.6% of the variance in performance, with the remaining 19.4% being influenced by factors that were not studied.
