The Effect of Work Discipline on Employee Productivity at Indonesian Flight Academy (API) Banyuwangi

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of work discipline on employee productivity at the Indonesian Aviation Academy (API) Banyuwangi. The phenomenon of low discipline of some employees, such as delays, inconsistencies in administrative reports, and weak responsibility for work targets, is the main background of this study. With a descriptive quantitative approach, data was collected through a questionnaire to 50 respondents who were selected using the purposive sampling method, then analyzed using the Smart PLS (Partial Least Squares) application. The results of the study showed that the research instruments were valid and reliable, with the values of outer loading, AVE, and construct reliability meeting statistical criteria. The path analysis produced a statistical T-value = 28.033 with a p-value = 0.000, so that work discipline was proven to have a positive and significant effect on employee productivity. The R² value of 0.814 indicates that 81.4% of the variation in employee productivity can be explained by work discipline, while the rest is influenced by other factors outside the study. These findings confirm that employees who are more disciplined tend to work more organized, punctual, consistent, and contribute to improving organizational performance.
