Leadership Style, Work Environment, Job Satisfaction, Employee Retention.Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership style, work environment, and job satisfaction on employee retention at PT Pelindo Multi Terminal Branch Lhokseumawe, both partially and simultaneously. This study uses a quantitative approach with a type of causal associative research. The population in this study is all employees of PT Pelindo Multi Terminal Branch Lhokseumawe which is 40 people. The sampling technique uses saturated sampling (census) so that the entire population is sampled. Primary data was obtained through a questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale, while secondary data was obtained from company documentation and supporting literature. The data analysis technique used multiple linear regression analysis with the help of SPSS software, including instrument tests (validity and reliability), classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation), multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis tests (t-test and F-test). The results showed that: (1) leadership style had no significant effect on employee retention with a t-count value of 0.827 < t-table of 2.028 and significance of 0.414 > 0.05; (2) the work environment has no significant effect on employee retention with a t-calculation value of 1.301 < t-table of 2.028 and a significance of 0.201 > 0.05; (3) job satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on employee retention with a t-count value of 3.458 > t-table of 2.028 and a significance of 0.001 < 0.05; (4) leadership style, work environment, and job satisfaction simultaneously had a significant effect on employee retention with an F-count value of 15.076 > F-table of 2.87 and a significance of <0.001. A determination coefficient value (R²) of 0.557 indicates that 55.7% of employee retention variations can be explained by all three independent variables, while 44.3% are influenced by other factors outside the model. Job satisfaction was the most dominant variable with a regression coefficient of 0.793 and a standardized beta of 0.504.
