Analysis of Decision Support System with Analytical Hierarchy Process Method

Abstract

Many factors can increase work motivation besides income and profits. The leadership style in a company also greatly influences work motivation in the work environment. This study aims to analyze the leadership style that most influences work motivation by utilizing decision support systems (DSS) techniques. Sources of data were obtained by observing, interviewing and giving random questionnaires at the Tirtauli regional water company (PDAM) in Pematangsiantar. The DSS technique uses the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. The criterion variables used in the study were Directing Style (K1), Participation Style (K2), Supporting Style (K3), Achievement Style (K4) and Delegation Style (K5). The results of the AHP method analysis show that the most influential leadership style in motivating work is the delegation style of a leader (K5) with a final value of 0.6326 and a directing style (K1) with a final value of 0.4861. The results of the research can be used as input to the leader in applying a leadership style so as to increase motivation in the work environment to achieve company goals.
