Abstract

This study aims to determine whether communication and discipline have a significant influence both partially and simultaneously on employee productivity at PTPN IV Regional I, Tanah Raja Plantation, Serdang Bedagai Regency, and to assess the magnitude of that influence. The study employs a quantitative method involving several tests: reliability analysis, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the regression results of primary data processed using SPSS version 25, the following multiple linear regression equation was obtained: Y = 3.551 + 0.670 + 0.243 + e. Partially, the communication variable (X1) has a significant influence on employee productivity at PTPN IV Regional I, Tanah Raja Plantation, Serdang Bedagai Regency, as evidenced by the t-count value exceeding the t-table value (5.960 2.028). Similarly, the discipline variable (X2) has a significant influence on employee productivity at PTPN IV Regional I, Tanah Raja Plantation, Serdang Bedagai Regency, as evidenced by the t-count value exceeding the t-table value (2.085 2.028). Simultaneously, the communication (X1) and discipline (X2) variables exert a positive and significant influence on employee productivity at PTPN IV Regional I, Tanah Raja Plantation, Serdang Bedagai Regency. This indicates that the study's hypothesis is accepted, as evidenced by the F-count value exceeding the F-table value (24.839 3.26). The communication (X1) and discipline (X2) variables contribute 58.0% to the productivity variable, while the remaining 42.0% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study.
