The Relationship Between Situational Leadership Style and Motivation with Employee Performance at Kamonji Community Health Center in West Palu District, Palu City

In the context of self-development, leaders capable of guiding organizations towards their objectives are essential. Effective leadership requires the application of diverse leadership styles in different situations, rather than relying on a single approach for all scenarios. Employees within a company can be motivated by fulfilling their needs and desires. However, providing work motivation can be challenging as what is considered important to one individual may not be equally significant to another. The head of the Kamonji Community Health Center employs a situational leadership style. The leadership of the health center head demonstrates limited communication and control, with interactions primarily occurring when employees submit reports to the head. This study aims to investigate the relationship between situational leadership style and motivation with employee performance at the Kamonji Community Health Center in West Palu District, Palu City. The research design employed is a cross-sectional study. The population comprises employees with civil servant status, with a sample size of 54 individuals selected using total sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted descriptively, including univariate and bivariate analyses, at a 95% confidence level (p<0.05). Fisher's Exact test results indicate that situational leadership style is associated with employee performance (ρ=0.039), and motivation is related to employee performance (ρ=0.028). Higher levels of situational leadership style and motivation provided correspond to improved employee performance, and vice versa. It is recommended that the head of the Community Health Center pay attention to behavioral aspects, particularly in motivating employees.

The Influence of Work Motivation and Career Development on Employee Loyalty, Case Study of PT Delta Indonesia Pranenggar

This study dives into the qualities companies seek in their workforce, highlighting the need for employees who are not only skilled but also dedicated to their tasks. By examining PT Delta Indonesia Praneggar's employees, it focuses on how work motivation and career development influence employee loyalty. The research draws from a sample of 36 permanent employees who have worked for at least two years. Data was collected using questionnaires—distributed either online or offline—and secondary sources like company records and documentation. The findings reveal an interesting pattern. Work motivation alone does not have a notable impact on employee loyalty. In contrast, career development significantly strengthens employee commitment. When examined together, work motivation and career development both contribute to fostering loyalty among employees. This indicates that while motivation is important, structured career growth plays a more substantial role in retaining a committed workforce.

Is Motivation Really Important? Exploring Teachers' Need Satisfaction and Work Motivation through Organizational Climate and Psychological Capital

The teaching profession is a critical cornerstone for the success of education in Indonesia. However, maintaining teachers' work motivation poses a significant challenge, particularly in rural areas. This study examines the influence of organizational climate and psychological capital on teachers' work motivation, with need satisfaction serving as a mediating factor. Data were collected from 210 teachers in rural schools using a self-report survey and a convenience sampling technique. Participants completed scales measuring organizational climate, psychological capital, need satisfaction, and intrinsic motivation (interest/pleasure subscale). The study employed quantitative methods, including descriptive analysis of respondent profiles, measurement model analysis, and structural model analysis. Findings from structural equation modeling revealed that both organizational climate and psychological capital significantly influence teachers' work motivation, with need satisfaction acting as a crucial mediator. Organizational climate, as an external factor, significantly impacts need satisfaction and work motivation. Meanwhile, psychological capital, an internal factor, serves as a primary source of need satisfaction, which, in turn, plays a pivotal role in fostering work motivation. These findings underscore the importance of cultivating a supportive work climate and fostering psychological capital to enhance teachers' sense of responsibility and resilience in addressing the complexities of teaching in rural settings. The study highlights the need for a self-determination-oriented teacher culture in rural schools to sustain motivation and improve educational outcomes.
