Review

This study investigates the influence of affective commitment and work motivation on employee performance within the specific context of PT. Asrindo Citraseni Satria Minas. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the research employs a questionnaire-based method and multiple linear regression analysis via SPSS 25 to analyze data from office employees. The stated objective is clear and relevant, aiming to contribute to our understanding of factors impacting employee performance, which is a pertinent area for organizational development and human resource management. Methodologically, the use of a saturated sample for the population of office employees implies a relatively small population size, though the exact number is not provided, making it difficult to fully assess its implications. The findings present an interesting and somewhat contradictory picture. Work motivation is shown to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, which aligns with much of the existing literature. However, the finding that affective commitment has a negative and *insignificant* effect on employee performance is notably counter-intuitive and runs contrary to common theoretical expectations. Despite this, the simultaneous effect of both affective commitment and work motivation together is reported to be significant, suggesting a complex interplay between these variables. While the study provides specific insights into PT. Asrindo Citraseni Satria Minas, the anomalous finding regarding affective commitment warrants significant attention and further exploration. The negative and insignificant effect of commitment is a critical point that challenges conventional understanding and requires deeper investigation, potentially through qualitative methods, to uncover the underlying contextual factors or employee perceptions contributing to such an outcome. Future research could also benefit from examining mediating or moderating variables that might explain this unique relationship. Practically, these findings suggest that PT. Asrindo Citraseni Satria Minas should carefully analyze its strategies for fostering commitment, while clearly leveraging motivation to enhance employee performance. The generalizability of these findings beyond this specific organizational context should be interpreted with caution.
