Pengaruh Pelatihan dan Kedisiplinan Kerja terhadap Kinerja Pegawai BPBD Serdang Bedagai

Abstract

This study highlights the strategic role of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Serdang Bedagai Regency in ensuring disaster preparedness and rapid response. The performance of BPBD employees is a key indicator of disaster management success, believed to be influenced by disaster management training and work discipline. However, no empirical study has quantitatively mapped the relationship between these variables and employee performance. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of disaster management training and work discipline, both partially and simultaneously, on the performance of BPBD employees in Serdang Bedagai Regency. The method used is a quantitative approach with a survey conducted through closed questionnaires based on a Likert scale. The research population consists of all 47 BPBD employees, and due to the relatively small size, a saturated sampling technique was applied, making the entire population the sample. Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression, supported by validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The findings show that disaster management training significantly affects employee performance, with a t-value of 1.607 and a significance level of 0.015. Work discipline also has a significant effect, with a t-value of 0.940 and a significance level of 0.035. Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence employee performance, with an F-value of 1.565 and a significance level of 0.021. The R² value of 0.660 indicates that training and discipline together explain 66% of the variation in employee performance, while the remaining 34% is influenced by other factors.
