The Influence of Digital Competence and Organizational Support on Employee Performance Mediated by Work Motivation at PT Lautan Berlian Utama Motor Lubuklinggau

This study aims to analyze and explain the influence of digital competence and organizational support on employee performance, while examining the role of work motivation as a mediating variable at PT Lautan Berlian Utama Motor Lubuklinggau. This quantitative study involved the entire employee population of PT Lautan Berlian Utama Motor Lubuklinggau—totaling 42 individuals—as respondents, utilizing a saturated sampling technique. Primary data were collected via a structured Likert-scale questionnaire and subsequently analyzed using multiple linear regression, hypothesis testing, and the Sobel test to measure mediation effects. The results indicate that digital competence (t-count = 3.242 > t-table = 2.021) and organizational support (t-count = 4.632 > t-table = 2.021) each exert a positive and significant partial influence on employee performance. Simultaneously, both independent variables were also found to have a significant impact on employee performance. Furthermore, the Sobel test results confirm that work motivation significantly mediates the relationship between digital competence and employee performance (t-count = 2.162; p = 0.000), as well as the relationship between organizational support and employee performance (t-count = 2.472; p = 0.013). These findings underscore the importance of enhancing digital proficiency and workplace support to foster the internal motivation that directly contributes to optimizing employee performance.
