Improving Employee Performance by Strengthening Organisational Commitment and Work Discipline

This study aims to analyse the influence of organisational commitment and work discipline on employee performance at PT Pegadaian (Persero) in the city and regency of Cirebon. Employee performance is a key factor in achieving organisational goals, where commitment and work discipline play an important role in improving the effectiveness and productivity of the company. This study employs a quantitative approach using an associative method. Data was collected through the distribution of questionnaires to 71 employees as respondents using a saturated sampling technique. The research model was analysed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) method based on Partial Least Square (PLS) version 4. Model evaluation was conducted through validity, reliability, and structural analysis tests using R-square values, F-tests, and t-tests. The results of the study indicate that both organisational commitment and work discipline have a positive and significant influence on employee performance. The R-square value of 0.184 indicates that 18.4% of employee performance variables can be explained by organisational commitment and work discipline variables, while the remainder is influenced by factors outside the research model. Therefore, companies need to enhance employee commitment and discipline through effective management strategies, such as training, development, and appropriate incentives to optimise productivity.
