The Influence of Work Discipline and Work Motivation on Employee Performance at the Aralle District Office, Mamasa Regency

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of work discipline and work motivation on the performance of employees at the Aralle District Office, Mamasa Regency.

Research Design and Methodology: A quantitative approach was employed with a saturated sampling technique, involving 35 employees as respondents. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Validity and reliability tests were conducted to ensure the quality of the instrument, and hypothesis testing was carried out using SPSS software.

Findings and Discussion: The results show that work discipline and work motivation, both partially and simultaneously, have a positive and significant influence on employee performance. Regression analysis revealed that motivation had a stronger effect than discipline, although both contributed meaningfully to performance outcomes.

Implications: The findings highlight the importance of internal factors—particularly discipline and motivation—in enhancing employee productivity. Organizations should reinforce disciplinary consistency and cultivate motivational programs to improve service quality and operational effectiveness.
