Mardhatillah Achievement Motivation Towards Human Resources Performance

Abstract

This study aims to analyze in depth the contribution of organizational culture, especially the dimensions of collectivism and low power distance, to improving human resource performance. The primary focus of this study is not only on the direct relationship between variables but also on the dual mediation mechanism involving career development and Mardhatillah Achievement Motivation (MAM), a central component of the proposed conceptual model. Using an explanatory design research empirically tested the causality relationship between variables through structural model testing. The sample was 250 respondents who worked in Islamic educational institutions in the Central Java region, Indonesia. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling. The study found that an organizational culture characterized by collectivism and low power distance significantly increased the intensity of Mardhatillah Achievement Motivation in the work environment. Mardhatillah Achievement Motivation has proven to be an effective mediating factor in bridging the influence of organizational culture on career development and human resource performance. This confirms that spiritually based value motivation can be an internal force that drives individuals to achieve sustainably.
