Pengaruh Kepemimpinan Visioner Terhadap Kinerja Pegawai Dengan Disiplin Kerja Sebagai Variabel Intervening Pada Perumda Tirta Mayang Kota Jambi

This study aims to analyze the influence of visionary leadership on employee performance with work discipline as an intervening variable at Perumda Tirta Mayang Kota Jambi. The background of this research is based on the suboptimal employee performance, as indicated by several work targets that have not been achieved, as well as the low level of employee work discipline. In addition, preliminary observations show that the implementation of visionary leadership within the organization has not been fully optimal. This research employs a quantitative approach. The population consists of 72 employees of Perumda Tirta Mayang Kota Jambi, all of whom were taken as the research sample. Data were collected using questionnaires measured on a Likert scale to assess the variables of visionary leadership, work discipline, and employee performance. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) through the SmartPLS application, including outer model testing, inner model testing, and hypothesis testing. The results show that: (1) visionary leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee performance; (2) visionary leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee work discipline; (3) work discipline has a positive and significant effect on employee performance; and (4) work discipline significantly mediates the effect of visionary leadership on employee performance. These findings indicate that visionary leadership not only directly contributes to enhancing employee performance but also indirectly influences it through improved work discipline.
