Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of work motivation on employee performance at PT Cahaya Bintang Manise. Based on observations made by researchers at PT Cahaya Bintang Manise, problems were found in the aspect of work motivation, where giving motivation to employees at PT Cahaya Bintang Manise, namely in the form of praise and respect for the leadership, was felt to be still not optimal, where there were no awards given to employees who excel, only giving additional salary to employees who have worked for a long time at the company so that employees often feel bored with their situation resulting in them being less focused on work. Employees are also found to be often late to work, working hours are from 08.50 to 17.00 WIT but employees often come later than 09.00 WIT.

According to the results of the regression analysis test, it can be seen that the value of a is 5.352.
