Work Ability, Employee Performance, Motivation, Human Resource StrategiesAbstract
This study was conducted at PT. Nongsa Jaya Buana with the aim of analyzing the mediating role of motivation in the relationship between work ability and employee performance. The research involved the entire employee population of the company, comprising 71 individuals, all of whom were included as respondents. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach with the assistance of SmartPLS software. The findings indicate that work ability has a significant positive impact on employee performance, and motivation also significantly influences performance. Moreover, motivation was found to act as a mediating variable, strengthening the relationship between work ability and performance. These results suggest that improving both work ability and motivation can lead to better employee outcomes. From a policy perspective, these findings underscore the importance of developing integrated human resource strategies that not only enhance employee skills and competencies but also foster motivation through appropriate incentives, recognition, and a supportive work environment. Such efforts are essential for achieving sustainable improvements in organizational performance.
