Faktor-Faktor yang Berkaitan dengan Kinerja Karyawan Paruh Waktu di Café Eleu Padang

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationships between educational attainment, work discipline, work experience, competence, work environment, and employee performance among part-time employees at Café Eleu in Padang.

This study employed a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The population comprised 49 part-time employees, all of whom were included through total sampling. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaires and observations, while secondary data were obtained from company documents. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and coefficients of determination with EViews software.

Preliminary testing revealed that educational attainment was not significantly associated with employee performance (t = −1.770; p = 0.084). In the reported four-predictor model, work discipline demonstrated a significant negative coefficient (B = −0.316; p < 0.001), whereas work experience (B = 0.218; p < 0.001), competence (B = 0.451; p < 0.001), and work environment (B = 0.448; p < 0.001) exhibited significant positive coefficients. The regression model was statistically significant (F = 50.775; p < 0.001), explaining 82.2% of the variance in employee performance (R² = 0.822; adjusted R² = 0.806).

The findings highlight the importance of competence development, work experience, and a supportive work environment in improving part-time employee performance. However, the unexpected negative relationship between work discipline and performance requires further examination of measurement procedures, variable coding, multicollinearity, and regression assumptions.
