Pengaruh Stres Kerja dan Locus of Control terhadap Kinerja Karyawan (Studi pada Karyawan PT Bank Tabungan Negara Kantor Cabang Medan)

Abstract

Employee performance in a company/organization can increase, due to the employee's sense of confidence which influences their environment (locus of control). Locus of control itself is closely related to work stress and employee performance. Locus of control that is carried out well will make employees enthusiastic about working without feeling pressured or stressed at work. This research aims to analyze the influence of work stress and locus of control on the performance of employees of PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Medan Branch Office. The influence of work stress and locus of control will be analyzed partially and simultaneously on employee performance. The research method used in this research is quantitative research with an associative approach. The population in this study were employees of PT. State Savings Bank Medan Branch Office, totaling 158 people. Sampling was carried out using a probability sampling technique with a simple random sampling model, using the Slovin formula with a total of 61 respondents. The data collection method used in this research is primary data obtained by observation, interviews and distributing questionnaires, while secondary data is obtained through literature study. The analytical methods used are validity testing, reliability testing, classical assumption testing, multiple linear analysis, and hypothesis testing. The results of the research conducted show that the variables of work stress and locus of control have a partial and significant effect on employee performance. The work stress variable and locus of control have a simultaneous and significant effect on employee performance. The resulting coefficient value shows that the relationship between the work stress variable and locus of control on employee performance is very strong with an R value of 0.885 or 88.5%. The Adjusted R Square value also shows that work stress and locus of control variables can explain employee performance variables by 77.6%, while the remaining 22.4% is influenced by other variables not explained in this research.
