The Influence of Leadership Style, Work Environment, and Work Discipline on Employee Performance: A Case Study of a Food Manufacturing Company in Indonesia
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership style, work environment, and work discipline on employee performance at Pelangi Nusantara Food Bakery Factory in Margodadi, South Metro, motivated by fluctuations in performance achievement and employee absenteeism rates throughout 2025. A quantitative approach with an associative research design was employed using saturated sampling involving 40 employees. Data were collected through validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 26. The results show that partially and simultaneously the three variables significantly affect employee performance. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.885 indicates that 88.5% of the variation in employee performance can be explained by these three variables. Work discipline proved to be the most dominant variable with a regression coefficient of 0.324. These findings indicate that compliance with regulations, punctuality, and job responsibility are important factors in improving performance within labor-intensive food manufacturing industries.
