Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess the individual and collective impact of leadership style, motivation, and work discipline on the performance of employees within the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (BPN) in Parepare City. The data analysis methods utilized encompass validity and reliability tests, multiple linear regression, partial testing, simultaneous testing, and determination coefficient. The research results reveal that individual aspects such as leadership style (X1), motivation (X2), and work discipline (X3) significantly contribute to the performance of employees at the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (BPN) in Parepare City. Leadership style exhibits a significant partial effect on employee performance (2.610 > 1.674, with a significance level of 0.012 < 0.05). Similarly, motivation and work discipline also show significant partial influences on employee performance (3.022 > 1.674 with a significance level of 0.004 < 0.05, and 2.633 > 1.674 with a significance level of 0.011 < 0.05, respectively). When considered together, leadership style, motivation, and work discipline collectively exert a significant impact on employee performance (28.279 > 2.78). The Coefficient of Determination (R²) indicates that these variables contribute 61.5% to employee performance, signifying their substantial influence. It implies that 61.5% of the variation in employee performance at the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (BPN) in Parepare City is accounted for by leadership style, motivation, and work discipline, while the remaining 38.5% is influenced by unexplored factors such as training, occupational safety, compensation, and others.
