Pengaruh Motivasi Kerja dan Kompensasi Terhadap Kinerja Karyawan pada PT. Boka Muara Transco

Abstract

This study examines the effect of work motivation and compensation on employee performance at PT Boka Muara Transco, an EMKL-based logistics service company in Jakarta. The study was motivated by a decline in the company’s order volume during 2023–2025 and indications of suboptimal motivation and compensation. A quantitative approach with a descriptive associative-causal design was used. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and a five-point Likert questionnaire distributed to all 38 employees using a saturated sampling technique. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination with SPSS. The results show that work motivation has a positive and significant partial effect on employee performance (t = 2.975; p = 0.005), while compensation also has a positive and significant partial effect (t = 3.793; p < 0.001). Simultaneously, work motivation and compensation significantly affect employee performance (F = 27.481; p < 0.001), with an R² of 0.611. Thus, 61.1% of the variation in employee performance is explained by the two independent variables. The findings indicate that performance improvement requires integrated strengthening of motivation and compensation policies.
