Training, Career Development, Job Satisfaction and Employee PerformanceAbstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of training, and career development on employee performance with job satisfaction as an intervening variable in PT. ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) Singkil Branch. In the face of increasing business competition and performance demands, companies are required to manage human resources effectively in order to be able to increase productivity and organizational competitiveness. Targeted training, effective communication, and structured career development are believed to increase employee job satisfaction, ultimately impacting performance improvement. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research method. Data was obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to all permanent employees of PT. ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) Singkil Branch as many as 96 respondents, with a total sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method based on Partial Least Square (PLS) with the help of SmartPLS software. This method was chosen because it is able to analyze the causal relationship between variables simultaneously and is suitable for a relatively limited number of samples. The results of the study show that training and career development have a positive and significant effect on employee job satisfaction. In addition, training and career development also have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Job satisfaction has been proven to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance and is able to play an intervening variable in the relationship between training and career development on employee performance. These findings indicate that improving employee performance does not only depend on technical and structural aspects, but also on the psychological condition of employees in the form of job satisfaction. This research is expected to make a practical contribution to the management of PT. ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) Singkil Branch in formulating a more effective and sustainable human resource management strategy, as well as academic contributions in enriching the study of the role of satisfaction as an intervening variable in improving employee performance in the transportation SOE sector.
