This study aims to determine the influence of Work Motivation, Work Environment, and Job Satisfaction on Employee Productivity at PT. Nihon Seiki Indonesia. This research is motivated by the phenomenon of declining employee productivity as shown by the non-achievement of work targets in recent months. This problem indicates the possibility of a decline in internal quality that needs to be evaluated, such as low motivation, less supportive work environment conditions, and less than optimal job satisfaction. This decline can also have an impact on the company's overall performance, including in terms of efficiency, production quality, and customer satisfaction that are declining over time. The method used in this study is a quantitative method with a descriptive and verifiable approach. The data collection technique was carried out through the distribution of questionnaires to 90 employees as a sample of the total population of 115 employees working in the company. The research instrument was tested through validity and reliability tests. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis, t-test (partial), F test (simultaneous), and determination coefficient (R²) test, with the help of SPSS software version 26. The results of the study show that Work Motivation, Work Environment, and Job Satisfaction have a significant effect on Employee Productivity, both partially and simultaneously. These findings confirm that the increase in employee work productivity is not only dependent on external factors such as technology and management systems, but is also highly determined by internal factors that are directly related to individual comfort and satisfaction at work. Therefore, company management needs to focus more on efforts to create a conducive work environment, build strong motivation, and increase employee job satisfaction as a strategy to optimize productivity. In addition, continuous training and effective communication between teams also need to be improved to maintain morale, collaboration, and the achievement of overall organizational targets.

Employee productivity is a crucial factor in a company's success. Educational qualifications are believed to enhance skills and work efficiency. However, in some companies, employees with lower education levels exhibit productivity nearly equal to those with higher education. This study aims to analyze the impact of educational qualifications on employee productivity. A quantitative research method was used with simple linear regression. Data was collected through questionnaires from 30 respondents in the studied company. The analysis results indicate that educational qualifications significantly affect productivity. The t-test produced a t-value of 2.919 with a p-value of 0.007 (<0.05), leading to the rejection of H₀. The regression coefficient (B) of 0.443 suggests that each unit increase in educational qualification raises productivity by 0.443 units. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.233 indicates that 23.3% of productivity variability is influenced by educational qualifications, while 76.7% is affected by other factors such as work experience and skills. In conclusion, educational qualifications impact employee productivity, but other factors also play a significant role. Companies are advised not only to consider education levels in recruitment but also to enhance training and skill development to optimize employee productivity.

This study aims to analyze the effect of water quality on the productivity of bamboo lobsters (Panulirus versicolor) cultivated in a floating net cage sistem (KJA) in the waters of Sinabang Bay, Simeulue Regency. Water quality is one of the main environmental factors that determines the success of marine cultivation, especially for high-value species such as bamboo lobsters. Water quality parameters observed in this study included temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and ammonia levels. Measurements were carried out periodically during the 90-day cultivation period to capture environmental dynamics that affect the biological performance of lobsters. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) experimental design with three treatments based on different cultivation locations that have variations in natural water quality, each with three replications. The results showed that optimal water quality significantly affected the increase in bamboo lobster productivity, as indicated by the parameters of the specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion efficiency (FCR), and survival rate (SR). The location with the best water quality (P1), which had high DO and low ammonia levels, recorded a daily SGR of 1.82%, a FCR of 1.6, and a SR of 90%. Conversely, the location with low water quality (P3) showed significantly decreased biological performance, with suboptimal SGR, FCR, and SR, primarily due to low dissolved oxygen and high levels of toxic ammonia. These findings emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring and management of water quality in marine cage sistems to support optimal lobster growth and survival. Therefore, managing aquatic environmental quality is key to increasing mariculture productivity and ensuring the sustainability of fishery resources in coastal areas.

Fertilizer is an important factor in increasing the growth and yield of chili plants (Capsicum annuum L.). The selection of the right type of fertilizer greatly determines productivity and environmental sustainability in the long term. This study aims to analyze the differences between chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers in chili plant cultivation, including plant growth, yields, and their impact on soil fertility. The method used is a literature review by examining various previous studies that discuss the effectiveness of both types of fertilizers. The results of the analysis show that chemical fertilizers provide faster growth and higher yields in the short term because their nutrients are more easily absorbed by plants. However, excessive use can cause soil degradation, decreased organic matter content, and environmental pollution. In contrast, organic fertilizers work more slowly, but are able to increase soil fertility, improve soil structure, and support the balance of agricultural ecosystems in the long term. The combination of chemical and organic fertilizers has proven to be the best strategy in increasing chili productivity while maintaining soil health. Therefore, balanced fertilization with the right dose is highly recommended to ensure optimal harvest results without damaging the environment.
