THE EFFECT OF WORK MOTIVATION IN IMPROVING EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE PT. ARTABOGA CCEMERLANG JAMBI DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

Providing motivation plays an important role in improving the performance of employees at PT. Artaboga Cemerlang Jambi during the Covid-19 Pandemic. This study is to test whether there is a role of internal motivation and external motivation on the performance of employees of PT. Artaboga Cemerlang Jambi during the covid-19 pandemic. Research conducted with data collection techniques used in the form of questionnaires to 19 respondents (employees), based on testing using the SPSS program using multiple linear regression models showed that internal motivation and external motivation jointly have a significant effect on employee performance, with the coefficient determination (R2) of 74.2%. Partially, it was found that the external motivation variable had a significant influence on performance during this covid-19 pandemic where workers were greatly affected, especially in the workload provided by the company's work system. While the internal motivation variable partially has no effect on employee performance where the work system is very dependent on the ability to create an atmosphere with workmates in the form of a culture of mutual support. External motivation is a variable that has a dominant influence on performance, such as the absence of career support which makes employees not enthusiastic at work plus working conditions in the midst of this pandemic. This can be seen from the results of the partial determination coefficient (r2) the external motivation variable has the largest value (48.5%).
