existence of human resources in a company is very
important because the existing human resources is the
spearhead of a company's success, especially for
companies engaged in services. Achievement of an
organization is closely related to the quality
performance of members in it. To maintain
and maximize the performance of good members
there are many things that influence such as welfare,
education, training, motivation, leadership,
organizational culture, and work environment.
Performance in an organization is a result of the
work that has been done. Good employee
performance can result in a high level of achievement
or productivity and vice versa, so an organization
leader must pay attention to the performance of its
members. According to Noe et al (2014),
performance management is essential for an agency
to perform its talent management strategy, which is to
identify the strengths and weaknesses of its
employees, connect employees with appropriate
training and development activities, and reward good
performance with salaries and other incentives. A
performance management system is designed to
ensure that learning and development are aligned
with business strategy, triggering business results,
and employees have the ability to succeed in current
and future jobs.
Employee performance greatly affects the success
of the goals of an organization, see the importance of
employees in an organization. It is in accordance with
the opinion of [3] Koopmans et al (2014) that
performance is defined as a behavior or action
relevant to organizational goals. It can be said that
employees are valuable organizational assets, hence
the need for support and development to make the
employee's ability to be good. Good performance can
be seen from the results that can, in accordance with
the standards of the organization. One effort to
improve the performance of employees can be done
with the policy and applied directives from a reliable
leader and high motivation and direction. The policy
of any organization or agency in providing rules to
achieve its objectives is different.
Each agency has its own regulatory policy, the
rule is implemented by a leader, so one leader with
another leader has a different style. Leadership style
applied by a leader varies according to need so as to
encourage his subordinates to contribute the best to
the agency. With the existence of effective
leadership can improve employee performance.
According [1] Djatmiko (2005) leadership is the
process of inter-relationship or interaction between
leaders, followers and situations. Leadership must
involve others, subordinates or followers. Leadership
involves the unequal distribution of power between
leaders and group members, other than legitimately
able to direct their subordinates or followers, leaders
can also have influence. Effective leaders not
only use their power to encourage employees but also
can provide motivation, inspiration and loyalty for
employees to be able to devote all the focus of its
ability to achieve optimal performance. Every leader
of course uses a different way in his leadership
process.
There are leaders who have strong interactions
with followers (in Winkler: 2010) who consider the
needs of followers or known as transformational
leadership. Strong interaction creates positive values
and changes to followers.
When viewed more deeply, one of the important
things of human resource management that need to
be considered well by the company is motivation.
Without sufficient motivation, the performance of
existing human resources will be less than optimal.
The adverse impact of his lack of motivation (in
Winkler: 2010) of a leader or superiors can ultimately
reduce the performance of the company itself. In
addition, it can lead to increased complaints from
customers, causing lazy employees to work, and
other possibilities that lead to physical and
psychological actions, such as increasing the degree
of absenteeism and employee turnover.
Motivational issues always get great attention from
leaders or bosses because motivation is the source of
the crew for employees. Basically, the purpose of
work motivation is to help the organization achieve
strategic success while ensuring the ongoing work
while encouraging employees to improve the
employee's performance. Motivation is the decisive
factor for an employee in work. Conducive
atmosphere, adequate facilities, the ability of
employees if they do not have the motivation to
complete the job, then the results of the work will not
run properly. Giving motivation can be done by a
leader in its own way, it is necessary to foster
employees and mobilize his subordinates to
strengthen relationships within the organization and
create maximum production. Neither government nor
private agencies, not only expect capable, skilled and
skilled employees but most importantly they want to
work hard and want to achieve optimal results. For
that leadership should try to have employees have
high motivation to perform task or work. This is
where the importance of the role of motivation to
encourage employee morale in completing the work.
The motivation built into his followers is to reward
the extra performance that has been achieved.
An employee will produce a high performance
when he has the motivation in doing his job. Work
environment within an organization also greatly
affects the performance of its employees. Conditions
in the work environment can be said good if
someone in it can carry out various activities in a
good, healthy, safe, or comfortable. A working
