Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of work motivation and work orientation on employee performance at the Education Office of Central Tapanuli Regency. This research used a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. The population in this study consisted of all employees at the Education Office of Central Tapanuli Regency, with a sample of 56 respondents obtained through a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using correlation analysis, coefficient of determination, and hypothesis testing with t-test and F-test. The results showed that there was a strong relationship between work motivation and employee performance with a correlation coefficient of 0.729, while the relationship between work orientation and employee performance was 0.682. The coefficient of determination analysis showed a value of 0.631, indicating that work motivation and work orientation simultaneously explain 63.1% of the variation in employee performance, while the remaining 36.9% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. The t-test results indicate that work motivation (t-count 4.887 > t-table 1.67356) and work orientation (t-count 3.787 > t-table 1.67356) have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Furthermore, the F-test results show that work motivation and work orientation simultaneously have a significant effect on employee performance with an F-count of 45.381 > F-table 3.17 and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05.
