Work Mindfulness, Employee Performance, Simple Linear RegressionAbstract
The rapid pace of change and escalating demands for quality public services necessitate that government institutions possess Human Resources (HR) who are technically competent and also mentally and emotionally balanced. This study aimed to investigate the role of Work Mindfulness as a critical psychological foundation for enhancing Employee Performance at the Youth and Sports Office (Dispora) of Medan City, a local agency facing high work pressure due to dense program schedules and complex inter-sectoral coordination. Employing a quantitative approach with an explanatory design, data were collected from a saturated sample of 40 employees using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire. The data underwent Simple Linear Regression analysis. The results confirmed that the instruments were highly valid and reliable. The regression analysis yielded a strong finding: the calculated t-value for Work Mindfulness (t=7.755) significantly exceeded the critical t-value (ttable=1.686) at the 0.05 significance level. This outcome led to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis, confirming that Work Mindfulness has a positive and statistically significant effect on Employee Performance, as formalized by the equation Y=1.038+0.748X. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R2=0.613) indicated that 61.3% of the variance in Employee Performance is explained by Work Mindfulness, establishing it as a dominant psychological predictor of performance in this public sector context. The study concludes that cultivating Work Mindfulness is essential for building a more productive, resilient, and integrity-driven workforce at the Youth and Sports Office of Medan City.
