The Influence of Training and Work Motivation on Employee Performance Through Work Discipline as an Intervening Variable

Abstract

This study examines how training and work motivation impact employee performance, with work discipline as a mediator. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to respondents using Non-probability Sampling with a purposive sampling technique. The survey collected data from 110 employees at the Human Resources Bureau of Kementerian PPN/Bappenas from March to April 2023. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) was used for data analysis, with SmartPLS 3.0 software used for measurement model testing (outer model), structural model testing (inner model), and hypothesis testing. The results showed that education and training positively and significantly impacted work discipline. In contrast, training did not significantly affect employee performance. Work motivation positively and significantly impacted both work discipline and employee performance. Additionally, work discipline mediated the relationship between education and training and employee performance and the influence of work motivation on employee performance. This research can help agencies improve employee performance by providing insights and recommendations.
