Pengaruh Aspek Tingkah Laku dan Hasil Kerja Terhadap Motivasi dan Prestasi Kerja Pensyarah Universiti Sumatera Utara

This study investigates the relationshp of working outcome and behavior aspects towards achievement of academic staff. It also clarifies the equilibrium of motivation as an intervening factor towards behavior, outcome, and achievement factors. The samples taken are 312 academic staff of Universitas Sumatera Utara derived from 13 faculties. Questionnaire items were constructed through validity test, criterion, construction, and reliability by using factor analysis method. Such data are then analysed by using Structured Equation Model (SEM). This method is being used since it correlates with interrelationshp between variable indicators and latent indicators simultaneously. The finding shows a significant relationshp between behaviour and outcome aspects and work achievement. Although behaviour aspect contributes more than outcome aspect, both aspects are simultaneously considered in evaluating achievement of academic staf. In behaviour aspect, habit indicator is considered to function as knowledge, skill and attitude of academic staff, while outcome aspect concerns more to work quality than that of quantity. The analysis explores that motivation to work plays as intervening indicator or a process medium which correlates behaviour aspect and outcome aspect toward achievement. This study concludes in a model framework which contributes to the relationshp of achievement where performance appraisal factors contribute to the staff achievement and university quality enrichment. Generally noted that behaviour aspect and outcome aspect relationshp in performance appraisal increases the productivity of academic staf.
