Abstract

Port productivity is a crucial indicator of Indonesia's maritime competitiveness, which not only depends on infrastructure, but also the quality of human resources as the main driver of operations. This study aims to analyze the influence of commitment, motivation, and retention on employee performance at PT Pelindo Regional 1. The research background is based on the importance of improving the quality of human resources in supporting operational productivity in the port sector which demands optimal and sustainable performance. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a sample of 98 respondents selected through the saturated sample technique. Data analysis was carried out through descriptive statistical tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, partial tests (t), simultaneous tests (F), and determination coefficients (R²). The results of the study show that commitment, motivation, and retention have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, respectively. The retention variable is the most dominant factor in improving performance. Simultaneously, the three independent variables had a significant effect on employee performance with an R² value of 0.399, meaning that the model was able to explain 39.9% of the variation in employee performance, while the rest was influenced by other variables outside the study.
