The Effect of Ability and Career Development on Employee Performance: Evidence from the Indonesian Automotive Industry
Keywords:
Employee Performance, Ability, Career DevelopmentAbstract
This study aims to examine the impact of employee abilities and development on performance at PT ABC. This study employs a quantitative methodology via a survey, with data gathered through questionnaires administered to 44 employees. Data analysis was performed with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) grounded in Partial Least Squares (PLS). The significance test indicates that both abilities and career development positively influence employee performance, since the variability of the ability construct (X1) and career development (X2) accounts for 83%. This signifies a robust concurrent effect as the value surpasses 0.75. The study findings demonstrate that both career and abilities concurrently exert a favourable and significant influence on employee work performance. Consequently, it is advisable for organisations to offer training and career development programs to enhance work efficacy and employee motivation.
