Motivation as a Moderator in the Relationship between Work Culture and Organizational Commitment

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Work Culture and Work Quality on Organizational Commitment with Motivation as a moderating variable at the Representative Office of Bank Indonesia in North Sumatra Provience. The research employed a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis with the assistance of SmartPLS 3.0. The research sample consisted of employees within the Representative Office of Bank Indonesia Medan, selected through purposive sampling. The results indicate that Work Culture and Work Quality have a significant effect on       Organizational Commitment; however, the strength of their influence is relatively weak and has not been able to optimally enhance employee commitment. Motivation is proven to negatively moderate the relationship between Work Culture and Organizational Commitment, indicating that motivation weakens the relationship between these variables. Meanwhile, motivation provides only a weak strengthening effect on the relationship between Work Quality and Organizational Commitment. In addition, the direct influence of Motivation on Organizational Commitment is significant but very weak. These findings suggest that other factors outside the research model may play a more dominant role in shaping employee commitment.
