Abstract


This study is an explanatory research aimed at analyzing the influence of transformational leadership on human capital and organizational learning, as well as examining the mediating role of human capital in the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational learning. The population of the research consists of all human resources at the Customs and Excise Supervision and Service Office Type Madya Pabean A Semarang, consisting of both civil servants (ASN) and non-civil servants, totaling 203 individuals. Based on the Slovin formula, the sample size used in this study was 135 respondents. The sampling technique employed is non-probability sampling with a convenience sampling method, selected due to considerations of time and cost efficiency during data collection. Primary data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire containing statements related to the research variables. The research instrument utilized a 1–5 Likert scale, ranging from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree. The questionnaires were administered personally, allowing respondents to provide answers based on their perceptions. Data analysis was conducted using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method to examine relationships among variables and to assess both direct and indirect effects. The results of the study indicate that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on human capital. In addition, transformational leadership is also proven to have a positive and significant effect on organizational learning. Human capital was found to have a positive and significant influence on organizational learning. Furthermore, the study confirms that human capital serves as a mediator in the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational learning.
