THE INFLUENCE OF WORK STRESS AND WORK MOTIVATION ON EMPLOYEE WORK PRODUCTIVITY AT PT. OTANI MEDAN
Keywords:
Work Stress, Work Motivation, Employee ProductivityAbstract
Employee productivity is an important factor in determining organizational success because it is closely related to the achievement of company goals. However, productivity can be influenced by employees’ psychological conditions, such as work stress and work motivation. Differences in previous research findings regarding the relationship between work stress and productivity provide a basis for conducting this study. This study aims to analyze the relationship between work stress and work motivation on employee productivity at PT. OTANI Medan. This research employed a quantitative associative method with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 60 employees selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through questionnaires, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using SPSS through multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination. The results showed that work stress had a negative but insignificant effect on employee productivity, while work motivation had a positive and significant effect on productivity. Simultaneously, work stress and work motivation significantly influenced employee productivity at PT. OTANI, with a contribution of 35.2%. The strength of this study lies in examining two psychological factors simultaneously, providing a more comprehensive understanding for companies in improving productivity through effective stress management and strengthening employee motivation.
