Abstract

At PT PLN (Persero) UPT Padang, this research is to examine the impact of collaboration and work culture on employee performance via the mediating variable of work motivation. A quantitative strategy using a saturation sampling technique was applied in this investigation. There were a total of 190 workers from PT PLN (Persero) UPT Padang who made up the population; hence, 190 questionnaires were processed. We used a Likert-scale questionnaire to gather data, and then we used PLS-SEM with SmartPLS 4 to analyze it. We can exclude out H1 since our data shows that collaboration does not significantly affect intrinsic motivation at work. We embrace H2 because workplace culture significantly impacts intrinsic motivation. We reject H3 because there is no statistically significant relationship between work motivation and performance. Furthermore, H4 is rejected since job motivation does not mitigate the impact of cooperation on employee performance. But because intrinsic motivation at work mitigates the impact of company culture on productivity, we may accept H5. According to the results, a positive work culture has a significant impact on employee motivation, which in turn influences their performance on the job.
