The Role of Leadership Style in Moderating the Influence of Work Discipline and Job Engagement on Job Performance at Bank Indonesia In the National Currency Distribution Division

Abstract

A phenomenon observed among employees in Bank Indonesia's currency distribution division is that employee performance appraisals have not yet achieved optimal scores. Factors influencing employee performance include leadership style and work discipline. A leader's role is essential in a company to support the achievement of the company's vision and mission. Furthermore, work discipline is a key driving force for a person's work, which will also impact employee performance. This research is a quantitative explanatory study using a census method. The population of the study was 150 employees in Bank Indonesia's National Currency Distribution Division. The sample was drawn using the Slovin formula, resulting in a total of 148 employees. A questionnaire was used as the data collection technique. Data analysis used the SEM-PLS method with SmartPLS (Partial Least Square) software. The results of the study 1) Work discipline has a positive and significant effect on job performance, meaning that good work discipline will encourage Bank Indonesia National Money Distribution employees to be more responsible, punctual, and productive, which will ultimately improve overall job performance. 2) Job engagement does not affect job performance, meaning that Bank Indonesia National Money Distribution employees who are highly involved and enthusiastic in their work do not automatically translate into a significant increase in job performance. 3) Leadership style has a positive and significant effect on job performance, but leadership style cannot strengthen the influence of work discipline and job engagement on job performance. This means that how well a superior applies his leadership style will not change how work discipline and employee engagement affect their work results. In other words, leadership style is not the only factor that determines the success of improving work discipline and job engagement on job performance.
