Keywords:
Individual Characteristics, Work Ethic, PanwasluAbstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of Individual Characteristics on Work Ethic among employees at the Panwaslu Office of Dairi Regency. The research was motivated by the importance of strengthening employee work ethic through personal attributes that support organizational performance, particularly in the context of supervisory institutions that demand high integrity and responsibility. The study employed a quantitative explanatory design with a saturated sampling technique, involving the entire population of 35 employees as respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed with SPSS 25.0, including validity and reliability tests, descriptive statistics, regression analysis, the coefficient of determination (R²), and t-tests. The results of the descriptive analysis revealed that both variables were rated highly, with a mean of 4.52 for Individual Characteristics and 4.23 for Work Ethic, indicating positive perceptions among employees. The instrument testing confirmed that all items were valid, while reliability was demonstrated with Cronbach’s Alpha values of 0.87 and 0.81, exceeding the minimum threshold of 0.60. Regression analysis produced the equation Y = -0.056 + 0.977X, showing that Individual Characteristics significantly and positively affect Work Ethic (B = 0.977, t = 8.875, p = 0.000). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.904) indicates that 90.4% of the variance in Work Ethic is explained by Individual Characteristics. In conclusion, the findings confirm that Individual Characteristics have a strong and significant influence on Work Ethic. This implies that personal attributes play a crucial role in shaping employees’ work behavior. Strengthening positive individual characteristics can therefore serve as a strategic approach to improving employee performance and organizational outcomes at the Panwaslu Office of Dairi Regency.
