Analysis of Transformational Leadership, Motivation, and Work Discipline on Employee Work Productivity of PT Ara Shoes Indonesia Ungaran, Semarang Regency

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of transformational leadership, work motivation, and work discipline on employee productivity at PT Ara Shoes Indonesia Ungaran. Employee productivity is considered a critical factor in improving organizational performance, particularly in manufacturing companies operating in highly competitive environments. A quantitative research design was employed using a survey method, with data collected from employees through structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis to examine both individual and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on employee productivity. The findings reveal that transformational leadership does not have a significant effect on employee productivity. Similarly, work motivation is not significantly associated with employee productivity. In contrast, work discipline demonstrates a positive and statistically significant effect, indicating that employees who consistently comply with organizational rules and work procedures tend to achieve higher productivity levels. Simultaneously, transformational leadership, work motivation, and work discipline significantly influence employee productivity, with the model explaining 62.1% of the variance in the dependent variable. These findings suggest that work discipline represents the most influential determinant of employee productivity within the organization. The study contributes to the human resource management literature by emphasizing the importance of behavioral discipline in enhancing productivity and provides practical recommendations for organizations seeking to improve employee performance through effective human resource management strategies.
