The Effect of Work Motivation on Employee Performance with Work Discipline as an Intervening Variable at BSI KCP Kuala Meulaboh

Abstract

The performance of BSI KCP Kuala Meulaboh employees was previously good and even reached the target desired by the bank, but now employee performance has decreased, this happens because employees are slow in doing their jobs, making it very difficult to achieve targets. The motivation given by the leadership is very good but the performance is inversely proportional. There are still employees who are less motivated, this is caused by the personality of each employee. There are employees who feel they cannot work together with their team so that their motivation to work is lacking. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not there is an effect of work motivation on employee performance with work discipline as an intervening variable on BSI KCP Kuala Meulaboh employees.
