Hubungan antara Tata Letak Kantor dan Kinerja Pegawai pada Badan Kepegawaian Daerah Provinsi Sumatera Barat

Abstract

This study aims to determine the condition of the office layout, the level of employee performance, and the relationship between office layout and employee performance at Badan Kepegawaian Daerah (Regional Personnel Agency) of West Sumatra Province.

This correlational quantitative research investigated 50 sampled employees, selected through a proportionate stratified random sampling technique from a total population of 73 personnel. Primary data collection relied on a pre-validated and reliable closed Likert-scale questionnaire. The obtained data underwent descriptive and inferential evaluations including Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality, linearity, and Pearson correlation tests facilitated by IBM SPSS Statistics 27. Based on the descriptive analysis, both variables fell into the 'good' classification, with average scores of 3.79 for workspace configuration and 4.16 for personnel productivity. Furthermore, the Pearson test yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.710 at a 0.001 significance level (p < 0.05). These empirical results confirm a substantial positive relationship, demonstrating that well-organized physical office structures significantly drive improvements in employee output.
