INTRODUCTION
Humans play a very important role in seeing
opportunities to develop their companies so that they grow rapidly. In an
effort to increase the company's development rapidly, of course the company
needs to manage and run the company's wheels properly, in this case, human
resources (HR) have a very important role to achieve company goals. In
achieving the goals of the company, of course, it must include the process of
planning, organizing, implementing and controlling which is called the
management process through the use of human resources and other resources. It
is very important in a company to have competent human resources and have good
performance in order to provide maximum results for the company.
Performance is a set of results achieved by a
person in carrying out the tasks assigned to him in accordance with his
responsibilities, which are based on experience, skills and excellence as well
as punctuality. Employee performance is a work result that includes the overall
management process shown in a concrete and measurable manner, the results of
their work (Kaihatu, Dharmayanti, Juwaeni, &
Ekonomi, 2015).
Performance is an achievement of organizational goals which can be directly
seen from the output produced, which can be in the form of quantity, quality,
creativity, flexibility, reliability or other things according to the wishes of
the organization.
In an effort to improve employee performance
processes, work experience is one of the points that is prioritized and is
indispensable. An employee's work experience determines the level of skill
utilization. Work experience is knowledge or skills that are known and
controlled by a person as a result of actions or work that has been carried out
within a certain period of time, taking into account the work experience of
employees, the company can determine the position according to their expertise,
(Saputra, Bagia, Yulianthini, & SE,
2016).
One other important factor that can affect
employee performance is work motivation. Work motivation is a person's effort
and desire to do something well. Work motivation can provide a positive side
for employees in improving their performance. According to (Noer, Rachmawati, & Basori, 2020),
motivation is the driving force that creates the joy of a person's work, so
that they want to work together, work effectively, and integrate with all their
might to achieve satisfaction. So in this case it
cannot be denied that work motivation is one of the most important factors to
support a person's success in carrying out their duties.
PT. Agro Sinergi Nusantara Meulauboh, is a
company in the field of oil palm plantation agribusiness, where the number of
employees at the head office of PT. Agro Sinergi Nusantara Meulauboh, the
employees studied were (31) people, of which there were (6) female employees
and (25) male employees. Regarding experience and work motivation it is still
very adequate and standard. The phenomenon can be seen from the condition of
the company where the leadership gives a firm warning to employees who make
mistakes by transferring them. This is because employees are not able to
complete their duties and responsibilities properly.
It is also seen that poor employee performance is
caused by the lack of work experience for an employee. Work experience is
closely related to the expertise and skills of an employee in completing the
assigned responsibilities where the longer the working period of an employee,
the higher the quality of the employee's work due to the time an employee
spends at work can increase understanding of the tasks and responsibilities
assigned and well resolved. The company will certainly retain an employee who
has good work quality to continue serving in the company, this is in accordance
with the data in table 1. below:

Based on table 1. it has been described
that the percentage of the working period of employees of PT. Agro Sinergi Nusantara Meulauboh, 5 employees have zero to 1 year of service, 18
employees have 2-6 years of service, 5 employees have 7-10 years of service,
and 3 people have 12 years of service. It can also be seen that all employees
have been working for a long time and some are new. And the longer the tenure,
the fewer the number of employees. Researchers conducted interviews with one of
the employees of PT. Agro Sinergi
Nusantara Meulaboh related to work experience, some
employees in carrying out their duties and responsibilities in their company
still have limited skills and knowledge even though the employee's tenure is
more than 2 years. This can be seen from the lack of self-confidence of
employees and the doubts that employees have in carrying out their assigned
duties and responsibilities.
Then it can also be seen that the poor
performance of employees can be caused by the lack of motivation that exists in
employees. Every work carried out by employees in any field, apart from relying
on abilities and skills, also requires sufficient motivation. So that the work
being carried out is carried out to the maximum. Without motivation, employees
will certainly not succeed in carrying out their work properly. Based on this
background, the authors are therefore encouraged to conduct research and raise
the title. �The Influence of Work Experience and Motivation on Employee
Performance at PT. Agro Sinergi
Nusantara (ASN) Ujong Beurasok,
West Aceh.
METHOD
The research uses this type of quantitative research.
Which uses the method of analysis in the form of multiple linear regression,
with data collection techniques using questionnaires, interviews, library
research. The sample and population used by the researcher is Saturated
Sampling. This study analyzes the effect of work experience and motivation on
employee performance at thehead office of PT. Agro Sinergi Nusantara Ujong Beurosok West Aceh.
In this study, the characteristics of the
respondents were taken based on gender, age, length of work, and education
level. Based on the characteristics listed, the researcher can conclude that
the dominant gender in this study is male with a total of (25) people and
female with a total of (6) people. Then in terms of the age characteristics of
the respondents (7) respondents were aged 23-30 years, (18) respondents were
aged 31-45 years and (6) respondents were aged 45 years, of all respondents the
most dominant age was 31-45 years. 45 years. Then in terms of the respondent's
length of service, namely (5) respondents have a long working period of 0-1
years, (18) respondents have a long working period of 2-6 years, (5)
respondents have a long working period of 7-10 years and (3) respondents have a
long working period of > 10 years, thus the longest
working respondent is dominant at 2-6 years. Furthermore, in terms of the
characteristics of the education level, there are (31) respondents with high
school education (14) people, respondents with D3 education level (9) people
and respondents with S1 education level (8) people, therefore the most dominant
respondent is high school level. Based on the results of the validity test
obtained from all the question items, they are declared valid so that all of
these items can be used for further analysis immediately, in this case, it can
also be seen that the correlation value of r count is greater than the r table,
which is 0.3550. In this case, it can also be seen from the results of the
reliability test, that this study can also be said to be reliable because it
has a Cronbach's alpha value of more than 0.60.
Classic assumption test
It should be noted that multicollinearity does not
occur in this study because the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) value is 10 or
0.1. So in terms of the heteroscedasticity test, the
points spread randomly. However, if viewed from the normality test, the data
obtained are around the diagonal line and the distribution does not spread but
follows the line.
Multiple Linear Analysis
The analysis in this study uses multiple linear
analysis. Which is used for the process of calculating how much influence
between work experience variables and motivational variables on employee
performance at the head office of PT. Agro Sinergi Nusantara Ujong Beurosok West Aceh. Based on the test results, the results
of the regression can be arranged in the following table:

From
the table above, the regression equation is as follows:
Y =
a + b1X1 + b2X2 + e
Y =
1.978+ 0.655X1 +0, 668X2 + 6.036
From
the results obtained from the regression equation above, it can be seen that:
1.
The
constant value of 1.978 can also be said if the work experience (X1) and
motivation (X2) variables then employee performance (Y) is equal to 0 (zero),
then the employee performance (Y) is 1.978.
2.
The
work experience variable (X1) has a value of 0.655. This explains that each
unit of the work experience variable contributes 0.655 to the employee's
performance if the other variables remain. The data obtained show that the
coefficient on the value of work experience has a positive effect on employee
performance. This means that when the work experience variable (X1) has
increased by 1 unit, it will cause employee performance (Y) to increase by
65.5%.
3.
Motivation
variable (X2) has a value of 0.668, this explains that each unit of
motivational variable contributes 0.668 to employee performance, which if other
variables remain. The acquisition of these data illustrates that the
coefficient on the value of motivation has a positive effect on employee
performance. This means that when the Motivation variable (X2) has increased by
1 unit, it will cause employee performance (Y) to increase by 66.8%.
Hypothesis Test
F Test (Simultaneous)
������� ��� In
an effort to find out whether the independent variable (independent)
simultaneously (simultaneously) has an effect or not on the dependent variable,
it is, therefore, necessary to use the F test by comparing F count and Ftable with a level of 5% (𝛼 = 0.05) or a
comparison of values significant F. If Fcount > Ftable or the value of Sig F≤0.05 means Ha is
accepted. On the other hand, if F count Ftable or
sig. F≥0.05 means Ho is rejected.
������� ��� Based
on the results of multiple regression analysis at an alpha of 5%, F table is
3.14 while F count is 10.611 then from the calculations it can be found that F
count F table, with a significance of 0.05 so that H2 is accepted, Ho is
rejected. This means that work experience (X1) and motivation (X2) affect
employee performance (Y).
T-Test
(Partial)
T-test to test the regression coefficient partially.
This test is a process carried out to determine the level of partial
significance of the role between the independent variables on the dependent
variable with the assumption that other independent variables are considered
constant. The results of these calculations are then compared with the table
using an error rate of 0.05.
Based
on the test data obtained:
1.
The
work experience variable (X1) produces a t-count value of 2.098 2.045 t table
with a sig value of 0.001 0.05, meaning that there is an influence between work
experience variables on employee performance variables (Y).
2.
Motivation
variable (X2) produces a t-count value of 2.815 2.045 t table with a sig level
of 0.004 0.05, meaning that there is an influence between motivational
variables on employee performance variables (Y).
Coefficient of Determination
It is known that the value of the coefficient of
determination (Adjusted R Square) which is equal to 0.391 indicates that work
experience and motivation affect the performance of employees at the head
office of PT. Agro Sinergi
Nusantara Ujong Beurosok
West Aceh by 3.91%.
