Strategy to Improve Employee Performance Supported by Communication, Motivation, and Teamwork
Keywords:
Blue Ocean Strategy, New Market, Drive Innovation, Sustainability GrowthAbstract
This study aims to explore the relationship between communication, motivation, teamwork, and employee performance in the context of a medium-sized manufacturing company in Indonesia. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys to collect quantitative data from 150 employees and interviews with 20 managers to gain qualitative insights. The data were analyzed using statistical tools and thematic analysis. The study found a significant positive relationship between effective communication, employee motivation, teamwork, and performance. Specifically, employees who reported higher levels of communication clarity, motivational factors, and perceived teamwork also demonstrated higher performance levels.The study's scope was limited to a single medium-sized manufacturing company, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings. Additionally, the cross-sectional nature of the study limits the ability to establish causality.This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence of the importance of communication, motivation, and teamwork in enhancing employee performance, particularly in the context of Indonesian manufacturing companies.While previous studies have examined the individual effects of communication, motivation, and teamwork on employee performance, this study uniquely integrates these factors to provide a comprehensive understanding of their combined impact.
