Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of work skills, work discipline, and work motivation on employee performance with a reward scheme as a moderation variable in BU17 employees of PT. Tjiwi Chemical Paper Factory, Tbk. The research uses an explanatory quantitative approach using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method. The research population amounted to 379 employees with a sample of 192 respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire based on the Likert scale and analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0. The results of the study show that work skills, work discipline, and work motivation have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. In addition, reward schemes have been shown to be able to moderate the relationship between job skills, work discipline, and work motivation to employee performance significantly. These findings suggest that rewards not only serve as a form of organizational reward, but also as a work behavior reinforcer that is able to increase the effectiveness of individual contributions to performance achievement. This research provides theoretical implications in the development of the human resource management literature based on reinforcement theory and human capital theory, as well as practical implications for companies in designing a fair, transparent, and performance-based reward system to increase organizational productivity and effectiveness.
