Organizational Culture, Job Satisfaction, Organizational CommitmentAbstract
This study aims to analyze the role of job satisfaction in mediating the influence of organizational culture on organizational commitment at the Medan Plantation Seed and Protection Center (BBPPTP). A quantitative approach was used with a survey method. The study population consisted of all 135 civil servants (PNS) at BBPPTP Medan, all of whom were included in the sample. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the help of SmartPLS. The results showed that organizational culture had a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Job satisfaction also had a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment. In addition, job satisfaction was found to significantly mediate the influence of organizational culture on organizational commitment. These findings indicate that a strong and conducive organizational culture can increase employee job satisfaction, which in turn strengthens organizational commitment. This study is expected to provide empirical contributions to the development of human resource management in the public sector, particularly in efforts to increase employee commitment through strengthening organizational culture and improving job satisfaction.
