GAYA KEPEMIMPINAN TRANSFORMASIONAL DAN MOTIVASI KERJA TERHADAP KINERJA PERSONEL POLISI: PERAN MEDIASI KOMITMEN ORGANISASI

Abstrak

This study aims to examine the effect of transformational leadership style and work motivation on the performance of police personnel, both directly and through organizational commitment as a mediating variable, at the Logistics Bureau of the Southeast Sulawesi Regional Police (Biro Logistik Polda Sultra). The study used a quantitative approach with a census of all 42 police personnel in the bureau. Data were collected through a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS. The results show that transformational leadership style has a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment but no significant direct effect on personnel performance. Work motivation has a positive and significant effect on both organizational commitment and personnel performance, and organizational commitment has a positive and significant effect on personnel performance. Organizational commitment fully mediates the effect of transformational leadership on performance and partially mediates the effect of work motivation on performance. These findings suggest that in a command-based police organization, transformational leadership improves performance mainly by strengthening personnel commitment, while work motivation remains the strongest direct driver of performance.
