Abstract

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of leadership style and work discipline on employee job satisfaction at the Bangil District Court, using work motivation as an intervening variable. Job satisfaction plays a crucial role in improving organizational effectiveness and employee performance and is influenced by factors such as leadership practices, employee motivation, and discipline. This study employed a quantitative research design with a survey method. The sample consisted of all 64 employees at the Bangil District Court. A census was conducted; data were collected through questionnaires distributed to all respondents. Subsequent data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) based on partial least squares (PLS) with SmartPLS software to assess the direct and indirect effects between variables. The results showed that both leadership style and work discipline had a significant and positive impact on employee job satisfaction. Furthermore, these two variables also contributed positively to work motivation. Work motivation itself led to a significant increase in job satisfaction, demonstrating the influence of leadership style and work discipline on this. These findings suggest that improving employee motivation requires effective leadership methods, strengthening work discipline, and continuously nurturing employee motivation. These steps are expected to enable organizations to improve the quality of services and achieve their institutional goals more effectively and sustainably.
