Pengaruh Faktor Motivasi Kerja terhadap Kinerja Tukang pada Proyek Revitalisasi Lapangan Merdeka Medan (Multi Years)

Abstract

The Merdeka Square Revitalization Project is a development project for open spaces and MSME buildings with large capacity. The construction project heavily depends on human resources, especially skilled laborers as on-site executors. However, issues related to workers' performance are often still found in the human resources, which can also be influenced by the level of work motivation they have. This study aims to examine and determine how work motivation affects the performance of laborers in the Merdeka Square Revitalization Project in Medan. This issue arises from field conditions showing variations in laborer performance that can be influenced by several factors, such as work motivation that is not yet optimal. Additionally, it aims to identify the most dominant motivation indicators, which is important for the project team as a basis for evaluation. This research is quantitative in nature with a descriptive approach, and the method used is a survey method through the distribution of questionnaires. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to 38 respondents consisting of laborers. The collected respondent data will be analyzed using validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, simple linear regression tests, hypothesis tests, and will later be processed using SPSS. The results of this study indicate that work motivation has a positive effect on the performance level of laborers with a t-count value greater than the t-table (6.784 > 2.028), which means that work motivation partially has a significant effect. The coefficient of determination value is 0.561, which means that 56.1% of work motivation influences laborer performance. Among several work motivation factors, sufficient salary and good work guidance are the dominant factors affecting laborers' performance at work.
