Pengaruh Desain Pekerjaan terhadap Kinerja Karyawan Produksi pada Koperasi Agrobisnis Tarutama Nusantara

Abstract

The Tarutama Nusantara Agribusiness Cooperative operates under fluctuating customer demand and a partnership-based sales system, which requires production employees to adapt to adjustments in delivery and packaging schedules according to customer demand. Management has implemented a more dynamic job design by expanding the responsibilities and varied tasks of employees. However, empirical evidence regarding the impact of five core job design characteristics on employee performance is still unclear. This study aims to explain the impact of job design on the performance of production employees at Tarutama Nusantara Agribusiness Cooperative. This study uses an explanatory quantitative research design with a survey method. The population consists of 30 non-managerial production employees, all of whom are respondents using a census sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analysed using simple linear regression. The results show that job design has a positive and significant impact on employee performance, with a significance value of 0.027 and a regression coefficient of 0.323. Further descriptive frequency analysis shows that feedback and commitment are the most prominent components contributing to employee performance. Overall, this study concludes that effective job design plays an important role in improving the performance of production employees. It is recommended that the cooperative maintain its feedback practices while strengthening autonomy and reinforcing employees' understanding of their tasks significance to improve overall productivity.
