Pengaruh Pengembangan Kompetensi dan Pemberian Insentif Terhadap Kinerja Pegawai Baitul Mal Kota Subulussalam

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of competence development and incentive provision on employee performance at Baitul Mal Subulussalam City using a quantitative approach. The research population consisted of all 35 employees, with a saturated sampling technique applied so that the entire population was included as respondents. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and documentation studies, then processed using SPSS 19 through several stages: instrument testing (validity and reliability), classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity), multiple linear regression analysis, hypothesis testing (t-test and F-test), and the coefficient of determination (R²). The t-test results indicate that competence development has a significant partial effect on employee performance (t = 3.476; Sig. = 0.001), as does incentive provision (t = 2.277; Sig. = 0.030). The F-test results confirm that both variables simultaneously have a significant effect on employee performance (F = 139.150; Sig. = 0.000). The coefficient of determination shows that the combination of competence development and incentive provision explains 89.7% of the variation in employee performance, while the remaining 10.3% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. Thus, this study emphasizes that systematic competence development strategies and adaptive incentive policies contribute significantly to improving employee performance.
