Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of compensation and training on work motivation with individual characteristics as moderating variables at PT PLN (Persero) UP3 Pematang Siantar. Work motivation is an important aspect in improving employee performance and organizational effectiveness, where compensation and training are seen as two main factors influencing it. Individual characteristics such as age, education, and work experience are assumed to strengthen or weaken the relationship. The research method used is quantitative with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach to test the structural model. The research sample was 93 respondents who were employees in the customer service unit. The research instrument has met the validity and reliability tests, with outer loadings values above 0.70 and composite reliability above 0.90. The results show that compensation, training, and individual characteristics have a positive and significant effect on work motivation. However, individual characteristics do not play a significant role as moderating variables in strengthening the effect of compensation and training on work motivation. The R² value of 0.733 indicates that 73.3% of the variation in work motivation can be explained by this research model. These findings indicate that the management of PT PLN (Persero) UP3 Pematang Siantar needs to pay attention to providing quality compensation and training as a strategy to increase work motivation, even though individual characteristics do not significantly strengthen the relationship.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of communication and punishment on employee performance with work discipline as an intervening variable at PT PLN (Persero) UP3 Pematangsiantar. The research method used is quantitative with the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The study population was all 117 permanent employees of PT PLN (Persero) UP3 Pematangsiantar who also served as research samples. The results showed that communication had a positive and significant effect on employee performance and work discipline. Punishment also had a positive and significant effect on employee performance and work discipline. In addition, work discipline was proven to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Other findings showed that work discipline played a role as an intervening variable in the relationship between communication and performance, as well as the relationship between punishment and employee performance. The R-square value of work discipline was 0.844 and employee performance was 0.863, which means that this research model has strong explanatory power. The practical implications of this research are the need for company management to clarify superior instructions, socialize punishment rules, especially those related to layoffs, in a transparent manner, improve work discipline development, and provide more training and trust to employees so that they are able to work independently.

Abstract

Digital transformation encourages public service agencies to optimize social media and service innovation to improve satisfaction by strengthening trust. This study analyzes the influence of social media and service innovation on public satisfaction with trust as an intervening variable at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Medan City. The method used is quantitative with a sample of 98 respondents (service users in the last 12 months). Primary data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using PLS-SEM (SmartPLS). The instruments met the requirements for convergent validity (outer loadings ≥ 0.60; AVE ≥ 0.552) and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha ≥ 0.723; CR ≥ 0.829). The results show that social media has a positive and significant effect on satisfaction (β=0.254; p=0.005) and trust (β=0.155; p=0.049). Service innovation has a positive but insignificant effect on satisfaction (β=0.120; p=0.175), but a positive and significant effect on trust (β=0.490; p=0.000). Trust has a positive and significant effect on satisfaction (β=0.324; p=0.000). The mediation test shows that social media → trust → satisfaction is not significant (p=0.113), while service innovation → trust → satisfaction is significant (p=0.005). The explanatory power of the model is strong (R² trust=0.705; R² satisfaction=0.889). Practical implications: strengthening social media content and responses needs to be accompanied by innovations that increase trust—such as process transparency, real-time status tracking, and SLA standards—in order to have a direct impact on satisfaction.
