The Influence Of Communication And Work Motivation On Non-Civil Servant Education Staff In The Rectorate Environment Of Andalas University

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of communication and work motivation on the performance of non-civil servant education staff in the rectorate environment of Andalas University, both partially and simultaneously. The research method used is descriptive quantitative, with a population comprising all non-civil servant education staff in the rectorate environment of Andalas University, totaling 379 individuals. The sampling technique used is Probability Sampling with Herry King's Homogram technique, resulting in a sample of 68 people. The data analysis method employed includes multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and the determination coefficient test using SPSS software as the analytical tool. The analysis yielded the regression equation Y = 7.672 + 0.172X1 + 0.404X2 + e. The t-test results show that the communication variable has a positive and significant partial effect on performance with a calculated t-value greater than the critical t-value (2.758 > 1.668) and a significance level of 0.008, which is less than 0.05. The work motivation variable also has a positive and significant effect on performance, with a calculated t-value greater than the critical t-value (4.538 > 1.668) and a significance level of 0.000, which is less than 0.05. The F-test results indicate that the communication variable (X1) and work motivation variable (X2), when tested simultaneously, have a positive and significant effect on the performance of employees in the Nanggalo Sub-district Office, Padang City, with a calculated F-value greater than the critical F-value (21.377 > 3.14) and a significance level of 0.000, which is less than 0.05. The determination coefficient (Adjusted R Square) is 0.378, meaning that the independent variables explain 37.8% of the variance in the dependent variable, while the remaining 62.2% is influenced by other variables not discussed in this study.
