Influence Of Leadership And Work Motivation On The Performance Of Yamazaki Pan Employees Co., Ltd Okayama Branch

Abstract

This study aims to explain leadership, work motivation, employee performance, and the relationship between the three variables at YAMAZAKI PAN Co., Ltd. Okayama branch. The research approach uses descriptive quantitative data collected from 60 workers, both rubato(アルバイト)、part time and permanent employees of Yamazaki pan Co., Ltd. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and then the data was analyzed using scale-range analysis, distribution analysis, and path analysis to explain the existing conditions and relationships between variables after previously the data was transformed into interval data via MSI. The relationship between the variables studied shows that leadership is significantly correlated with employee motivation (r = 0.456) meaning that increased leadership can increase work motivation or vice versa. Partially, leadership has a significant positive effect on improving employee performance with a path coefficient of 0.204, while motivation has a partially positive effect on employee performance with a path coefficient (β=0.686). This shows that employee motivation has a bigger role than leadership in increasing the work productivity of employees in the company
