Abstract

This study investigates the influence of job satisfaction and career development on employee performance at PT. TRM. The research adopts a quantitative explanatory approach to explain causal relationships among variables. Data were obtained from the entire population of 32 employees using a structured questionnaire measured with a Likert scale and were complemented by relevant company documentation. Prior to hypothesis testing, the data were examined using classical assumption tests to ensure the suitability of the regression model. The analytical method employed was multiple linear regression. The results demonstrate that job satisfaction and career development simultaneously exert a positive and statistically significant effect on employee performance. When analyzed individually, each variable also shows a positive and significant influence. However, career development contributes more dominantly to performance improvement compared to job satisfaction. This finding indicates that opportunities for career growth, including clear career paths, training programs, and transparent promotion systems, play a crucial role in enhancing employee productivity and effectiveness. The study implies that PT. TRM should prioritize the strengthening of career management practices as a strategic effort to improve performance outcomes. At the same time, the company needs to consistently maintain key aspects of job satisfaction, such as fair compensation, supportive leadership, and a comfortable working environment, to sustain employee motivation and commitment.

Review

This study, "Analisis Pengaruh Kepuasan Kerja dan Pengembangan Karier terhadap Kinerja Karyawan PT. TRM," effectively addresses a pertinent topic concerning human resource management and organizational effectiveness. The research clearly articulates its objective: to quantitatively assess the causal influence of job satisfaction and career development on employee performance. The adoption of a quantitative explanatory approach, coupled with the application of multiple linear regression and classical assumption tests, demonstrates a robust methodological design suitable for exploring such relationships. The utilization of the entire employee population at PT. TRM (32 employees) through structured questionnaires and company documentation further underscores the thoroughness in data collection within its specified context. The findings present valuable insights for both academic understanding and practical application. The study compellingly reveals that both job satisfaction and career development significantly and positively impact employee performance, both individually and simultaneously. A particularly noteworthy contribution is the identification of career development as a more dominant driver of performance improvement compared to job satisfaction. This nuance underscores the critical importance of well-defined career paths, training, and transparent promotion systems. The implications for PT. TRM are clear and actionable: a strategic focus on strengthening career management practices should be prioritized, while simultaneously maintaining crucial aspects of job satisfaction, such as fair compensation and a supportive work environment, to foster overall employee motivation and commitment. While the study offers strong conclusions for PT. TRM, a minor consideration for broader applicability stems from the specific context and sample size. Although the entire population of 32 employees was studied, the inherent limitation of a small, single-organization sample means that the generalizability of these findings to other companies, industries, or larger populations should be approached with caution. Future research could benefit from comparative studies across multiple organizations or larger-scale investigations to validate these dominant effects of career development. Nevertheless, this study provides a well-executed and valuable contribution to understanding performance drivers within a specific organizational setting, offering clear, evidence-based recommendations for enhancing human capital strategies.
