Abstract :

This study aims to analyze the influence of competence and organizational culture on employee performance, with self-efficacy as an intervening variable among employees of the Human Resources and Health Division at PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) DAOP 6 Yogyakarta. A quantitative approach was employed, using a census sampling method involving 60 employees as respondents. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) method via SmartPLS 4.0. The results show that both competence and organizational culture have a direct positive influence on employee performance. Furthermore, self-efficacy plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between competence and employee performance, as well as between organizational culture and employee performance. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing employee self-efficacy, especially in critical divisions, to maximize their contribution to organizational goals. This research contributes theoretically by addressing the research gap on the mediating role of self-efficacy, and practically by providing insights for HR development strategies in state-owned enterprises.
