Hubungan Praktik Supervisi Langsung dengan Disiplin Kerja Pegawai di Dinas Pendidikan Kabupaten Pasaman

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between supervision by immediate supervisors and employee work discipline at the Pasaman Regency Education Office. The study employed a quantitative approach using a census method involving 77 employees. Data were collected via a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the normality test indicate that the data are normally distributed (sig. = 0.60 > 0.05), and the linearity test indicates a linear relationship (sig. = 0.351 > 0.05). The Pearson correlation test yielded a coefficient of r = 0.579, which is greater than the critical value (0.221) with a significance level of p < 0.05, thus indicating a significant relationship. The t-test showed a calculated t-value of 6.152 > critical t-value of 1.993, further confirming the significance of the relationship. Supervision by immediate supervisors falls into the “good” category (86.9%), while employee work discipline falls into the “high” category (87.85%). Thus, there is a positive and significant relationship of moderate strength between supervision by immediate supervisors and employee work discipline.
