Abstract

Employee performance is the outcome of a process measured over a specific period on the basis of predetermined provisions or agreements. Generally, performance can be interpreted as an individual's entire work process, with results as a basis for determining whether their work is satisfactory. This study investigated the influence of democratic leadership style and compensation on employee performance at the Office Secretariat of the Regional People's Representative Council of the Serdang Bedagai Regency. The study employed a quantitative data method to determine the research focus, select informants as sources, assess data quality, analyse and interpret data, and draw conclusions from the findings. The findings reveal that work status and work environment influence employee performance. Besides that, democratic leadership style and compensation did not demonstrate a significant impact. However, when considered collectively, all four factors were found to influence employee performance. These results provide valuable insights for organisational management to understand and improve employee performance within this context.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of leadership style and job satisfaction on employee performance within the General Section of the Regional Secretariat of the Serdang Bedagai Regency. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to examine the relationships between variables using questionnaires, interviews, and literature reviews for data collection. The findings reveal that leadership style in a department is categorized as high or good, significantly influencing employee performance. It aligns with the theoretical expectation that appropriate leadership is crucial for enhancing employee performance, particularly when performance declines. Surprisingly, contrary to expectations, job satisfaction was classified as low and did not significantly affect employee performance. The study concludes that leadership style and job satisfaction are well received in the General Section, as evidenced by their highly descriptive classification. These factors collectively and simultaneously influence employees’ performance. This research recommends addressing and fulfilling employees’ needs to improve job satisfaction and potentially impact performance. This study contributes to understanding Human Resource Management practices in a specific organizational context by highlighting the importance of effective leadership and the need for strategies to enhance job satisfaction. These findings provide valuable insights for managers and policymakers in developing targeted interventions to improve employee performance in similar organizational settings.

Abstract

The beauty industry has evolved, with skincare becoming crucial for women. It protects against environmental factors and prevents issues caused by make-up. The Indonesian skincare market is growing, reflecting the increasing importance of skin health. This study investigates the influence of lifestyle, psychological factors, and pricing on MS Glow skincare product-purchasing decisions among students at the University of North Sumatra's Faculty of Education. Using primary data from 100 respondents, multiple linear regression analysis was employed to examine the relationships between the independent variables (lifestyle, psychological factors, and price) and the dependent (purchase decision) variables. This research aims to understand consumer behavior in skincare product acquisition, focusing on MS Glow. Contrary to expectations, price does not significantly influence purchase decisions. However, lifestyle and psychological factors play substantial roles, exhibiting positive and statistically significant relationships with the dependent variable. These findings challenge conventional wisdom about the importance of pricing in student consumer decision-making and highlight the need for lifestyle-oriented and psychologically driven marketing approaches in the skincare industry. This study contributes valuable insights into university students' decision-making processes for personal care products, enhancing the understanding of consumer behaviour in this demographic.
