The Effect of Training, Work Discipline, And Work Motivation on The Performance of Employees of The Industry and Trade Office of Karawang Regency

Abstract

This study employs a quantitative explanatory research design to examine the effect of training, work discipline, and work motivation on employee performance at the Industry and Trade Office of Karawang Regency. The study population comprised 150 active employees, all of whom were included as respondents through saturated sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale and were analyzed through multiple linear regression following validity tests, reliability tests, and classical assumption verifications (normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity). Regression results indicate that training (β = 0.25, p = 0.001), work discipline (β = 0.30, p = 0.000), and work motivation (β = 0.35, p = 0.000) each exerted a statistically significant positive effect on employee performance. The simultaneous F-test yielded F = 109.506 (p = 0.000), confirming that the three predictors collectively and robustly explain variance in performance. Work motivation emerged as the dominant predictor, underscoring the primacy of motivational dynamics in public sector bureaucratic contexts. These findings highlight the need for the institution to adopt an integrated human resource development approach that revitalizes training programs, reinforces disciplinary frameworks, and cultivates sustainable motivational structures.
