The Influence Of Transformational Leadership And Work Facilities On Employee Performance At The Regional Office Of The Ministry Of Religion Of Gorontalo Province

Abstract

Employee performance is an important factor in the success of
an organization, especially in the government sector. However, in
practice, various obstacles are still found that affect performance, such as
a leadership style that is not optimal and limited work facilities. At the
Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of Gorontalo Province, a
number of performance indicators have not been achieved optimally,
which shows the need to evaluate internal organizational factors. This
study aims to determine the influence of transformational leadership and
work facilities on employee performance, as well as analyze whether work
facilities play a role as a mediating variable in the relationship between
leadership and performance. The research uses a quantitative approach
with an associative descriptive method. Data was collected through a
questionnaire to 32 employees, and analyzed using the Partial Least
Square (PLS) technique through the SmartPLS application. The results of
the study show that transformational leadership does not have a
significant direct effect on employee performance. On the other hand,
work facilities have a significant effect and transformational leadership
affects employee performance through work facilities. This means that
direction and motivation from leaders will only have an impact on
improving performance if they are supported by adequate work facilities.
These findings confirm the importance of the role of work facilities in
supporting leadership effectiveness. Therefore, organizations need to
prioritize the management of work facilities as part of a comprehensive
and sustainable employee performance improvement strategy.
