Motivasi Kerja dan Kinerja Karyawan: Peran Komitmen Organisasi pada Industri Perkapalan di Surabaya

Abstract

The rapid expansion of the Indonesian economy has intensified competition, compelling companies to seek
sustainable strategies for achieving competitive advantage. Human resource optimization, particularly
through improved employee performance, has become a critical factor in organizational success. In this
context, leadership plays a pivotal role in fostering motivation and commitment among employees to
enhance overall organizational performance. This study examines the effect of work motivation on
employee performance, with organizational commitment as a mediating variable. Data were analyzed using
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The findings are
expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of how motivation and commitment interact to drive
employee performance, offering both theoretical insights and practical implications for organizational
development.
