JOB SATISFACTION AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE FACTORS IN PALM OIL PLANTATIONS

The research objective was to determine the effect of organizational culture, compensation, and motivation on job satisfaction and employee per­for­mance of oil palm plantations at Katari Agro Estate, PT. Bumitama Gu­na­ja­ya Agro, Central Kalimantan Province. The research sample of 200 plan­ta­ti­on direct employees was selected by accidental sampling method from 428 po­pu­lations. Data were collected using a questionnaire and then analyzed by va­riant-based Structural Equation Model (SEM) or Partial Least Square (PLS). The results of the analysis prove that organizational culture, compensation, and motivation directly have a significant effect on job satisfaction. Organiza­ti­onal culture, compensation, and motivation have a significant direct effect on em­ployee performance. Job satisfaction directly has a significant effect on em­ployee performance. The indirect effect between organizational culture and mo­tivation on performance through job satisfaction is not significant. The in­di­rect effect between compensation on performance through job satisfaction has significant. The study results have implications for organizational culture, compensation, and employee motivation that need to be improved to increase job satisfaction and employee performance. Suggestions for further research in­clu­de exploring research by adopting qualitative studies to explain the symp­tom further and focusing on the influence of organizational culture, compen­sa­tion, and motivation on indirect employee or managerial employee groups

The existence of the Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) is a momentum for businesses in East Kalimantan as a buffer zone to encourage economic growth. However, there are several issues related to the quality of human resources and technical and non-technical skills, weaknesses in capturing opportunities, and lack of innovation. Businesses need to be continuously developed in terms of both quality and skills, especially in digital behavior as a contributor to business performance. Therefore, this study examines factors that are directly and indirectly related to business performance. This research empirically predicts that digital experience and digital literacy can influence digital behavior. Furthermore, this study proposes the relationship between digital experience, digital literacy, and digital behavior to business performance. This study was conducted by taking samples in the IKN buffer zone. Subject was conducted on 80 business owners in Somber Small Industry Center. Data analysis in this study used Warp-PLS. Results of hypothesis testing show that digital literacy has a positive and significant effect on digital behavior. Digital experience has a significant effect on digital behavior. Furthermore, digital behavior has a significant effect on business performance. Partially, digital behavior significantly mediates the relationship between digital literacy and digital experience on business performance. The implications of this study indicate that digital information literacy, service availability, visual quality and access stability are needed to encourage operational performance, management and support performance. Future research recommendations are to examine digital literacy and digital experience variables that have a direct effect on business performance
