Model Core Values Akhlak dalam Upaya Perilaku dan Habit Kerja yang Efektif

Abstract

This study aims to develop and test a conceptual model of the influence of Core Values AKHLAK (Amanah, Competent, Harmonious, Loyal, Adaptive, and Collaborative) on the formation of work behavior, work habits, and their impact on organizational performance within state-owned plantation enterprises (BUMN), particularly at PTPN IV. The research employs a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative analysis using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with qualitative reinforcement through in-depth interviews. The results indicate that all tested paths in the model are statistically significant. Core Values AKHLAK have a strong influence on Work Behavior (β = 0.676; T = 8.003) and Work Habits (β = 0.399; T = 2.507). Work Behavior significantly affects both Work Habits (β = 0.376; T = 2.309) and Organizational Performance (β = 0.373; T = 2.704). Furthermore, Work Habits show a significant contribution to Performance (β = 0.446; T = 3.196). The indirect paths (mediation effects) are also significant, including AKHLAK → Behavior → Performance (β = 0.254; T = 2.142) and Behavior → Habits → Performance (β = 0.168; T = 2.084). These findings confirm that AKHLAK values shape organizational performance through behavioral transformation and the formation of productive work habits. The study affirms that systematically internalized AKHLAK values can foster positive work behavior and productive routines, ultimately contributing directly to improved organizational performance. This research offers theoretical, empirical, and practical contributions to the strengthening of value-based work culture in state-owned enterprises within the plantation sector.
