INTRODUCTION

The Directorate General of Horticulture is an Echelon I work unit within the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia which is stipulated by Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 9 of 2005 concerning Position, Duties and Functions of Organizational Structure and Work Procedures of the Republic of Indonesia State Ministries and Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 10 of 2005 concerning units Organization and Working Procedures of Echelon I Ministries of the Republic of Indonesia as amended by Regulation of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Number 15 of 2005 (Presidential Regulation, 9 CE)

The Directorate General of Horticulture has the responsibility to carry out horticultural development in Indonesia through the Program to Increase Production, Added Value and Competitiveness of Horticultural Products. The implementation of this program is part of efforts to realize food sovereignty and agro-industry which are part of the NAWACITA agenda.

In realizing this agenda as well as the main tasks and functions, every organization requires resources to achieve it. These resources include natural resources, financial resources, scientific and technological resources, and human resources. Among these resources, the most important resource is human resources. Human resources are the most important organizational assets, and make other organizational resources work (Simamora, 2006). Thus, without human resources, other resources will be unemployed and less useful in achieving organizational goals.

Human resource management is the science and art of managing the relationships and roles of the workforce so that they are effective and efficient, helping to achieve company, employee and community goals (Hasibuan, 2001). Realizing the ideals and goals of quality human resources and other advantages possessed by the Directorate General of Horticulture, Ministry of Agriculture, the agency must be dedicated to the wishes of the organization, so that effective human resource management requires leaders to find the best way to socialize, utilization, coaching and employing people, employees in carrying out their functions to achieve organizational goals.

Management has an important role for an organization/institution because management as a manager of the system, in order to achieve organizational goals in an effective and efficient manner through planning, organizing, directing and controlling organizational resources. In order for this system to continue, of course in managing its resources it must pay attention to important aspects such as employee competence, motivation, education and training as well as providing compensation so that employees can be encouraged to provide all abilities according to what is needed by the organization (Princess, 2021). By achieving good employee performance, it will ultimately result in good institutional productivity as well.

Employee performance is the result of work in quality and quantity achieved by an employee in carrying out his duties in accordance with the responsibilities given to him (Mankunegara, 2017).Performance improvement is the most important thing desired by both employees and the organization. Organizations want optimal employee performance for the benefit of increasing work results and organizational profits. On the other hand, employees have an interest in self-development and promotion. To fulfill these two desires, a good management and performance system is needed (Wake Up, 2012).

Based on the results of interviews and direct observation of employees at the Directorate General of Horticulture, it can be seen that indicators of low employee performance can be shown by employees who do not complete assigned tasks in a timely manner, employees work not according to set working hours, they are only concerned with filling in attendance and coming home regardless of the output generated from work on that day, this is still experienced by many employees, compensation is not based on the output produced by employees. Often all employees are generalized, so that it can reduce employee motivation, there are also employees who do not cooperate with coworkers, and employees are not happy to help coworkers who have difficulties at work.

In order to optimize the performance of employees in the institution for the realization of institutional goals, it is necessary to pay attention to the factors that can affect employee performance, including: motivation is a mental condition that encourages action and provides strength that leads to the achievement of needs, and gives satisfaction. Motivation is one of the most important things in the framework of human resource development because it is closely related to leaders and those who are led (Ahmed, 2018). A leader must have the right way to be able to motivate employees to achieve high work performance. Motivation itself is a concept expressed as a need, desire, drive or impulse that cannot be separated from one another. Motivation between one person is different from another, that is, apart from being able to work, it also depends on their desire to work or depends on their motivation.

Motivation is a process within a person because they have psychological and physiological needs so that they drive behavior or encouragement to achieve a goal (Nawawi & Hadari, 2006). Motivation is something that makes people act or behave in certain ways. Motivation is the provision of individual encouragement to act which causes the person to behave in a certain way that leads to goals (Setiawan & Ghozali, 2006). A person's motivation points a certain direction to him in taking the necessary steps to ensure that he reaches his goal. Meanwhile, being motivated means wanting something based on one's own desires or being driven by whatever is there to achieve success.

The abilities and skills of a leader are important factors in motivating employees to work better. In this case the influence of a leader greatly determines the direction of the goals of the institution, because to realize the goals of the institution it is necessary to play a role in leading work that is consistent with the work situation at hand (Ibrahim & Rahayu, 2022). In addition, in carrying out their duties, they must strive to create and maintain good relationships with their subordinates so that they can work productively. Thus, indirectly the motivation of employees is increasing.

In the case above, the leader as management functions to guide, guide, guide, build work motivation, drive the organization, establish good communication, carry out regular supervision, and direct his subordinates to the target they want to aim for, namely the creation of employee performance which will lead to achieving the vision and mission of the institution.

Another factor that has an influence on improving employee performance is compensation. Compensation is all income in the form of money, goods, directly or indirectly received by employees as compensation for services provided to companies/institutions (Hasibuan, 2016). Compensation is very important for employees, because employees hope that the compensation they receive can meet their needs and be able to improve their welfare. If a company/institution in providing compensation to employees is able to generate enthusiasm and enthusiasm for work, then one of the company's goals to increase productivity will be fulfilled.

In this study, efforts are needed to improve employee performance by paying attention to motivation and providing appropriate compensation so that their work is done well. The existence of proper, fair compensation and positive work motivation for employees, is expected to increase employee productivity and performance so that the vision, mission and main tasks and functions of the institution can be achieved

Based on the background and limitations of the problem above, the formulation of the problem in this study are; (1) how big is the influence of motivation on employee performance at the Directorate General of Horticulture, Ministry of Agriculture, Jakarta?, (2) how big is the influence of compensation on employee performance at the Directorate General of Horticulture, Ministry of Agriculture, Jakarta?, and (3) how big is the influence of motivation and compensation together on the performance of employees of the Directorate General of Horticulture, Ministry of Agriculture, Jakarta?

 

METHODS

Research approach used in this study is a quantitative research method that is explanatory in nature. Explanatory research is research that aims to test a hypothesis in order to strengthen or even reject a theory or hypothesis based on pre-existing research results because it is fundamental in nature.

The population in this study were employees of the Directorate General of Horticulture, Ministry of Agriculture in Jakarta, which consisted of 341 work units. And through the calculation of the Slovin formula above, the number of samples is 77. Data collection techniques in this study used questionnaires, interviews, and observation.

 

Data analysis technique

Data analysis techniques in quantitative research use statistical calculations with a Likert scale(Sugiyono, 2019). In this study, data analysis will use descriptive statistical techniques.

Validity and Reliability Test

Validity

Before the research instrument is used to collect data, it is necessary to test its validity. It is used to obtain valid data from valid instruments.

Reliability

The measurement of reliability in this study was assisted by the SPSS program for the Cronbach Aplha (α) statistical test. The results of the Cronbach Aplha statistical test (α) will determine whether the instrument used in this study is reliable or not.

 

Classical Assumption Testing

In estimating the regression model, there are basic assumptions that must not be violated so that the estimation results can be used as a basis for analysis. There are three problems that often arise which can result in non-fulfillment of the basic (classical) assumptions, namely multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity and serial correlation. In this study, tests will be carried out on whether there is interference with multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity and serial correlation.

 

 

 

 

Determination Analysis

To test the suitability of the multiple regression model, the Coefficient of Determination (R2) is used to explain the variability of the dependent variable of the regression equation model used, especially of the independent variables used.

 

Regression Equation

Regression analysis is a procedure in which by formulating a mathematical equation, the value of a random continuous variable is to be predicted based on the known values ​​of other quantitative variables. Where is the independent variable or Motivation and Compensation in realizing the dependent variable or Employee Performance, then the regression equation will be used as follows:

Ŷ = a + b1X1 + b2X2

Where :

a    = Constant

b1  = Regression coefficient of variable X1

b2  = Regression coefficient of variable X2

Y    = Employee Performance

X1  =Motivation

X2  = Giving Compensation

 

Hypothesis testing

Arithmetic t test

To test the hypothesis or each regression coefficient is done by t test with the following formula:

         bi– 0

t count = –––––––

                   Se (bi)

Where Se (bi) is the standard error of the guess parameterbi.

Test Criteria:

t count < t table: accept H0

t count > t table: reject H0

If the null hypothesis is rejected, it means that the tested variables have a significant effect on the dependent variables. Conversely, if the null hypothesis is accepted, then the variables tested have no significant effect on the variables.

 

Arithmetic F test

The test statistics used in the F test are:

           SSR / k

F count = ––––––––––

          SSE/nk-1

Where :

SSRS  = Sum of squared regression

SSE    = Sum of squares of remainder

n       = Number of samples

k       = Number of independent variables

    Test criteria:

F count < F table: accept H0

F count > F table: reject H0

 

If the null hypothesis is rejected, it means that at least one variable used has a significant effect on the dependent variable. Conversely, if the null hypothesis is accepted, it means that together the variables used cannot explain the variation of the dependent variables.

Hipothesis Test Design

The hypothesis to be tested in this study can be formulated as follows:

1.   H0 : b1 = 0 

No effectMotivation for Employee Performance at the Directorate General of Horticulture, Ministry of Agriculture in Jakarta.

     H0 : b1¹0   

There is influenceMotivation for Employee Performance at the Directorate General of Horticulture, Ministry of Agriculture in Jakarta.

2.   H0 : b2 = 0

     H0 : b2¹0   

     There is influenceProvision of Compensation for the Performance of Employees of the Directorate General of Horticulture, Ministry of Agriculture in Jakarta.

3.   H0 : b1 : b2 = 0      

No effectMotivation and Providing Compensation together for the Performance of Employees of the Directorate General of Horticulture, Ministry of Agriculture in Jakarta.

     H0 : b1 : b2¹0

There is influenceMotivation and Providing Compensation together for the Performance of Employees of the Directorate General of Horticulture, Ministry of Agriculture in Jakarta.

Classic assumption test

The classical assumptions tested in this study consisted of three tests, including the normality test, multicollinearity test and heteroscedasticity test.

Normality test

Normality test is conducted to find out whether the dependent variable, independent or both are normally distributed, close to normal or not. Detect a data normally distributed or can not be known through statistical analysis. The normality test can be done by looking at the plotting points from the SPSS output results and seeing whether the plotting points are around the Normal Probability Plot's diagonal line or not.

 

Figure 1.

Normality Chart

Based on the graph above, it can be seen that the points or data are near or follow the diagonal line, so it can be said that the data is normally distributed.

 

Heteroscedasticity Test

The heteroscedasticity test was carried out to find out whether in a regression model there is an unequal variance from the residuals of one observation to another. The estimation results using the help of the SPSS program application are presented through the Glejser test where the independent variables are regressed with absolute unstandardized residual data at a significance level (α) of 0.05. If the significance value of each independent variable is greater than 0.05, it indicates that the data has beenhas met the assumption of homoscedasticity.

Table 8. Glejser Heteroscedasticity Test Probability Value

Source: Results of data processing with SPSS Version 24

 

Based on the table above, it can be seen that the magnitude of the probability value of each variable is Motivation (X1) = 0.436 and Compensation (X2) = 0.495. Because the probability value of the estimation results for each independent variable is greater than the specified significance level (0.05), it can be concluded that the data has beenhas met the assumption of homoscedasticity.

 

Multicollinearity Test

The multicollinearity test aims to evaluate whether or not there is a strong correlation between independent variables, where a strong correlation between independent variables indicates that the use of independent variables in the regression model is not efficient. By using the help of the SPSS application program, the estimated results of the VIF value of each independent variable for the multicollinearity test are as follows:

The VIF value estimation results presented in the table above show that the VIF value of each independent variable is below the critical value of 10, namely Motivation (X1) = 2.801 and Compensation (X2) = 2.801. Based on these results, it can be concluded that there is no multicollinearity between the independent variables in the regression model.

 

Hypothesis test

Hypothesis testing was carried out in this study using a two-sided or two-sided test technique. So based on the results of testing the five hypotheses, the test results are obtained which can be explained as follows:

 

 

First Hypothesis Testing

H0 : ß1 = 0  : there is no effect of motivation on employee performance.

Ha : ß1 ≠ 0  : there is an influence of motivation on employee performance.

If tcount > ttable or sig <0.05, then H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted.

If tcount < ttable or sig > 0.05, then H0 is accepted and Ha is rejected.

t test

Based on the SPSS calculation results, the tcount value obtained is 16.047 and the ttable with df nk-1 = 77-2-1 =74 at α (0.05) is 1.992. Thus tcount 16.047 > ttable 1.992 and sig > 0.05, so H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. This shows that motivation influences employee performance.

 

Determination Analysis

Table 11. Motivation Variable Determination Test Results(X1)

Source: Results of data processing with SPSS Version 24

 

Based on analysisobtained a coefficient of determination of 0.774. This shows that 77.4% of the variation in employee performance is caused by a variety of motivations, while the remaining 22.6% is caused by other variables.

 

Simple Linear Regression Equations

Based on analysisthe value of the simple linear regression equation is obtained as follows:

Ŷ = a + b1X1

Ŷ = 5.187 + 0.923X1

This linear regression equation shows that every 1 increase in the value of the motivational variable can increase the value of service performance by 0.923 with the assumption that other variables are constant.

 

Second Hypothesis Testing

H0 : ß1 = 0       : there is no effect of compensation on employee performance.

Ha : ß1 ≠ 0       : there is an effect of compensation on employee performance.

If t count > t table or sig <0.05, then H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted.

If t count < t table or sig > 0.05, then H0 is accepted and Ha is rejected.
