THE EFFECT OF LEADER BEHAVIOR, EMPLOYEES� PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS, AND NATURE OF THE TASK ON EMPLOYEES� MOTIVATION AT DINAS PENDIDIKAN IN JAKARTA Author(s): ARITA MARINI J. Ponte - Nov 2016 - Volume 72 - Issue 11 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2016.11.20 Abstract: The employees motivation is assumed to be significantly affected by their leaders behavior, their personal characteristics, and the nature of their tasks. The causal study reported here aimed to examine the hypothesis. It was conducted in the Educational Office of the DKI Jakarta Province, through a four-month survey, from May 2009 to September 2009, involving 150 staff members who had been randomly selected from the overall 247 staff members. The data of each variable were collected separately by the respondents filling in a questionnaire. A path technique was employed to analyze the data. The results show positively direct effects of the leaders behavior, the staffs personal characteristics, and the nature of their tasks on their work motivation. A positively direct effect of the leaders behavior was also apparent on the staffs personal characteristics and also the nature of their tasks. But the leaders behavior showed a positively indirect effect on the staffs motivation through their personal characteristics and the characteristics of their tasks. The findings suggest that variation in the staffs motivation could be minimized if the variables of the leaders behavior, the staffs personal characteristics, and the nature of their tasks are taken into consideration.
Keywords: Staff’s Motivation, Leader’s Behavior, Staff’s Personal Characteristics and The Nature of Their Tasks.
