HR Performance Improvement Model Through Islamic Leadership, with Achievement Motivation as a Mediation Variable

Akhmad Untung Widagdo, Ibnu Khajar

Abstract


This study aims to examine and analyze the mediating role of achievement motivation in the relationship between Islamic leadership and human resource (HR) performance. The type of research used is explanatory research, namely research that aims to explain the causal relationship between variables. The assessment of respondents' answers was carried out using a semantic differential scale of 1 to 5. The population of this study was all 203 employees of the Semarang Type A Customs and Excise Supervision and Service Office (KPPBC), who were also used as research samples through the census method. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The results of the study indicate that Islamic leadership has a positive effect on employee achievement motivation and human resource performance. Furthermore, achievement motivation has also been shown to have a positive effect on human resource performance. These findings strengthen empirical evidence that a leadership style based on Islamic values can improve intrinsic motivation and employee performance through the application of the principles of sidiq (honesty), amanah (trustworthiness), tabligh (communicativeness), and fathanah (intelligence). Thus, this study provides a theoretical contribution to the development of an Islamic leadership model and practical implications for public organizations in improving employee work effectiveness by strengthening spiritual values and achievement motivation.
