Abstract

This study aims to determine and analyze five main variables, namely leadership behavior (X1), work motivation (X2) and spiritual intelligence (X3) which are independent variables, employee performance (Y) as an intervening variable and job satisfaction (Z) as the dependent variable by obtaining data from respondents' answers to questionnaires that have been distributed. This study uses judgmental techniques (purposive) to get a sample of 120 employees of the Department of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of the Riau Islands Province. To determine the direct and indirect effects between variables, as well as a set of variables on other variables, seen through the calculation of path coefficients and significance by testing hypotheses using statistical tests assisted by SPSS version 22 and AMOS (Analysis Moment of Structural) version 24. The results showed the leadership behavior variable (X1) directly determined the employee performance variable (Y) positively and significantly with the CR value = 4.124 on probability = (***) (p <0.05), the work motivation variable (X2) determined directly on employee performance variables (Y) significantly positive with a CR value = 3.101 on probability = 0.002 (p> 0.05), the variable spiritual intelligence (X3) determines directly on employee performance variables (Y) positively and significantly with CR values = 2.078 at probability = 0.038 (p <0.05), leadership behavior variable (X1) determines the job satisfaction variable (Z) is positive and significant with CR = 2.836 at probability = 0.005 (p <0.05), motivation variable work (X2) determines the job satisfaction variable (Z) is positive and significant with a CR value of 2.842 at probability = 0.004 (p> 0.05), the variable of spiritual intelligence (X3) determines the job satisfaction variable (Z) is positive not significant with the value of CR = 1,303 at probability = 0,193 (p> 0.05), and employee performance variables determine the job satisfaction variable (Z) with the value of CR = 3,349 on probability = (***) (p <0.05) so can be stated positively and significantly. The conclusion of this study is the variable of leadership behavior, work motivation and spiritual intelligence largely determine the performance of employees and job satisfaction of the Office of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of the Riau Islands Province.
