Keywords:
Work Commitment, Individual Characteristics, Employee PerformanceAbstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of work commitment on employee performance, as well as to study the role of individual characteristics as a moderation variable in the Sidikalang District Office, Dairi Regency. The method used is casual associative quantitative research with data analysis techniques using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS). Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to 49 ASN employees at the office. The results showed that work commitment did not have a significant influence on employee performance, with a T-Statistic value of 1.475 (< 1.96) and a P-Value of 0.147 (> 0.05). However, individual characteristics have a positive and significant influence on employee performance, with a T-Statistic value of 2.006 (> 1.96) and a P-Value of 0.041 (< 0.05). In addition, individual characteristics were unable to moderate the relationship between work commitment and employee performance, with a T-Statistic value of 0.358 (< 1.96) and a P-Value of 0.722 (> 0.05). This study shows that individual characteristics are an important factor in improving employee performance, while work commitment requires a strategic approach to have a significant impact.
