The Influence of Competence, Work Ethic, and Self Efficacy on the Performance of Employess

Abstract

Employee performance is a key factor in organizational effectiveness, essential in achieving goals and delivering quality services. However, many organizations face challenges in enhancing employee performance, often linked to variables like competence, work ethic, and self-efficacy. This study aims to explore effect of these three variables on employee performance, to providing recommendations for improvement. The research method was a quantitative approach with a population of 30 employees. The data collection was performed with a questionnaire that was first validated and confirmed for its reliability. The analytical tool used in this study is multiple linear regression analysis, which allows the researcher to measure the impact competence, work ethic, and self-efficacy on the employee performance. The findings indicate that competence, work ethic, and self-efficacy each have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Specifically, each variable demonstrated a significant effect individually: competence (p=0.004), work ethic (p=0.000), and self-efficacy (p=0.018). Furthermore, the simultaneous F-test (F=53.518, p=0.000) confirmed that these three independent variables significantly affect the employee performance. Thus, these factors significantly influence employee performance at the Tegal City Manpower and Industry Office.
