Abstract

Employee work motivation is an important organizational factor that influences employees’ willingness to exert effort, develop their abilities, and contribute to organizational goals. In the context of PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk Purwakarta Branch, preliminary observations indicated issues related to employee motivation, transformational leadership, and work environment, highlighting the need to examine the relationships among these factors. This study aims to analyze the partial and simultaneous effects of transformational leadership and work environment on employee work motivation. A descriptive-verificative research design was employed using multiple linear regression analysis. Data were collected through questionnaires from 74 employees selected using simple random sampling. The findings demonstrate that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee work motivation, with a regression coefficient of 0.358 and a significance value of 0.012. The work environment also has a positive and significant effect, with a regression coefficient of 1.007 and a significance value of 0.000. Simultaneously, transformational leadership and work environment significantly influence employee work motivation (F = 168.670; p < 0.001), explaining 82.6% of its variance. The work environment is the more dominant predictor, as indicated by its standardized beta coefficient of 0.758 compared with 0.191 for transformational leadership. These findings suggest that strengthening workplace conditions alongside transformational leadership practices is important for improving employee work motivation.
