The results showed that, firstly, there was direct positive effect on leadership towards work motivation with the correlation coefficient r13 = 0,896, and path coefficient p31 at the number 0,514 with α = 0,05. Secondly, there direct was positive effect on adversity quotient towards work motivation with the correlation coefficient r23 = 0,911, and path coefficient p32 at the number 0,561 with α = 0,05. Thirdly, there was direct positive effect on leadership towards adversity quotient with the correlation coefficient r12 = 0,681, and path coefficient p21 at the number 0,681 with α = 0,05.
