Analysis of Employees' Perceptions of Work Motivation and the Physical Work Environment in Improving the Performance of Non-Civil Service Employees at the XYZ Village Office

Abstract

This study aims to analyze work motivation and the physical work environment, as well as their impact on the performance of non-civil servant employees at the XYZ Village Office. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research informants consisted of 7 non-ASN employees at the XYZ Village Office; the data were then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, with data validity tested using source and technique triangulation. The research findings indicate that employee motivation is not yet fully optimized, while the physical work environment is sufficiently supportive of work performance, although there are still some areas that need improvement. Overall, employee performance has been quite good, but there is still room for improvement in terms of initiative and work effectiveness. Work motivation and the physical work environment are interrelated in supporting improvements in employee performance.
