Abstract:
Through the utilisation of job satisfaction as a moderating factor for PT "X"
Employess, this research endeavours to investigate and assess the ways in which
ethical leadership influences worker performance. This particular study utilised a
quantitative research design as its methodology. A total of 112 respondents, which
represents the entire population, were included in the sample for the study. The
technique for collecting data included the distribution of questionnaires to each
individual who participated in the survey. The next step was to conduct testing in
order to determine the direct and indirect effects that the research elements had. The
findings of the study suggest that ethical leadership does not have a substantial impact
on the degree to which employees accomplish their jobs. Taking into account the level
of job satisfaction experienced by employees, it was shown that ethical leadership had
an effect on performance in just 26.9% of instances. There was only a 26.9%
correlation between ethical leadership and employee performance, which was
measured by work satisfaction. The remaining percentage of employee performance
was explained by criteria that were not included in the study. The findings of the study
also indicate that ethical leadership may not directly influence employee performance
at PT "X" on its own. It is instead the job satisfaction that emerges as a mediating
variable, which helps to mitigate the impact that ethical leadership has on personnel.
