Pengaruh Kompetensi dan Kerja Sama Tim terhadap Kinerja Pegawai di Dinas PUPR Kota Subulussalam

Abstract

This study is motivated by the phenomenon of a gap between employee competence and teamwork compared to actual performance at the Public Works and Housing Agency (PUPR) of Subulussalam City. The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of competence and teamwork, both partially and simultaneously, on employee performance. The study involved the entire population of 13 employees using a census (saturated sampling) technique. A quantitative approach was applied, with Likert-scale questionnaires complemented by observation and documentation. Data analysis included validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and the coefficient of determination. The findings reveal that competence does not have a significant partial effect on employee performance (t = 1.795; Sig. = 0.103 > 0.05). In contrast, teamwork has a significant partial effect (t = 2.811; Sig. = 0.018 < 0.05). Simultaneously, competence and teamwork significantly influence employee performance (F = 46.286; Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05). The correlation coefficient R = 0.950 and R² = 0.903 indicate that 90.3% of performance variation is explained by the two independent variables, while 9.7% is influenced by other factors. The study suggests strengthening teamwork culture through regular coordination, discussion forums, and team-building activities, accompanied by continuous technical training to maintain competence relevance. Furthermore, recognition of individual contributions should be enhanced to improve job satisfaction and employee motivation.
