Analysis of the Influence of Compensation, Communication and Motivation on Job Satisfaction at PT Kepodang Makmur Sejahtera

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of compensation, communication, and motivation on employee job satisfaction at PT Kepodang Makmur Sejahtera. Job satisfaction is an important factor in increasing employee productivity, loyalty, and performance, especially in engineering service companies dominated by field workers. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires from 100 fitter employees who have worked for at least six months, with a saturated sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using the classical assumption test and multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results showed that partially compensation had a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (β = 0.273; t = 1.996; sig. = 0.049), communication had a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (β = 0.273; t = 2.495; sig. = 0.014), and motivation had the most dominant effect on job satisfaction (β = 0.388; t = 5.035; sig. = 0.000). Simultaneously, compensation, communication, and motivation significantly influence employee job satisfaction (F = 78.217; sig. = 0.000). The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R²) value of 0.701 indicates that 70.1% of the variation in job satisfaction can be explained by the three independent variables, while the rest is influenced by other factors outside the research model. This finding proves that fair compensation, effective communication, and high motivation are key factors in increasing employee job satisfaction. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for consideration by PT Kepodang Makmur Sejahtera management in formulating more effective and equitable human resource policies .
