Analysis of the Effect of Self-Efficacy, Competence and Flexible Working Space (FWS) on Employee Performance through Job Satisfaction at the Badan Pusat Statistik Kabupaten Deli Serdang

This research seeks to explore and evaluate the impact of self-efficacy, competence, and flexible workspaces on the performance of employees, with a focus on job satisfaction, within the Badan Pusat Statistik Kabupaten Deli Serdang. It is an associative research using quantitative data. The study's population includes all ASN staff at the Badan Pusat Statistik in Kab. Deli Serdang, and involves a sample size of 40 individuals working within Flexible Working Spaces (FWS). The purposive sampling technique, which involves selecting samples based on specific criteria or considerations aligned with the study's objectives, was employed. Structural Equation Modeling was utilized for data analysis. Findings reveal that self-efficacy positively and significantly influences employee performance both directly and via job satisfaction. While competence significantly affects job satisfaction, it does not significantly impact employee performance directly or indirectly. Flexible Working Spaces positively and significantly influence job satisfaction but do not have a significant direct impact on performance. Job satisfaction is a crucial intervening variable that bridges the effects of self-efficacy and Flexible Working Spaces on performance. This highlights the essential role of job satisfaction as a mediator in enhancing employee performance, underscoring the need to bolster self-efficacy and offer adaptable work environments as strategic human resource management approaches in governmental settings.
