Improving Human Resource Performance Through Self-Efficacy and Altruism
Abstract
This study is explanatory research that aims to explain the relationships among variables by testing the proposed hypotheses. The population of the study consisted of all 102 employees of Sidorejo and Tingkir Districts, Salatiga City, who were also taken as the sample using the census method. Data were collected using questionnaires with a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 to measure respondents’ level of agreement with the given statements. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to provide a general overview, and Partial Least Square (PLS) was applied to test the research hypotheses. The findings reveal that self-efficacy has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, while also contributing to the improvement of altruism. Furthermore, altruism was also found to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. These results indicate that the higher the level of self-efficacy and altruism possessed by employees, the better their performance outcomes will be. Therefore, enhancing self-efficacy and strengthening altruistic values can serve as important strategies in improving the quality of human resources in governmental institutions.
