The Impact of Discipline and Motivation on Employee Performance in the Civil Service Police Unit of Lampung Province

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of discipline and motivation on employee performance within the Civil Service Police Unit of Lampung Province. Recognizing the critical role these factors play in organizational success, the research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing a sample of 49 respondents. Data were collected through a Likert Scale questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software. The findings reveal that both discipline and motivation significantly and positively affect employee performance, with significance levels of 0.005 and 0.000, respectively. The regression analysis indicates that 26.3% of the variance in performance can be attributed to these factors. However, challenges such as distrust and perceived injustice in discipline enforcement, along with unhealthy competition among employees, were identified as areas needing improvement. The study concludes that effective management practices promoting fair discipline enforcement and healthy motivation are essential for enhancing employee performance. These insights contribute to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence of the impact of discipline and motivation in a civil service context, and suggest avenues for future research to explore additional performance-influencing factors and the long-term effects of improved management strategies.
