The Influence of Work Motivation and Work Environment on Employee Productivity at PT Gamatara Trans Ocean Shipyard Cirebon
Abstract
This study aims to examine the influence of work motivation and work environment on employee productivity at PT Gamatara Trans Ocean Shipyard Cirebon. A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing regression analysis to investigate the relationships among the variables. The findings reveal that the work environment has a positive and significant effect on employee productivity, indicating that productivity tends to improve when employees perform their duties in a safe, comfortable, and supportive workplace. In contrast, work motivation does not show a significant influence on employee productivity, suggesting that employees place greater emphasis on structural and situational factors in carrying out their work responsibilities. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that work motivation and work environment jointly have a significant effect on employee productivity, although the magnitude of their contribution is classified as moderate. Therefore, organizations are encouraged to prioritize improvements in workplace conditions while maintaining employee motivation to support sustainable productivity growth and organizational performance.
