Abstract

The crisis of employee performance is a critical problem faced by management in the company. Employee performance problems are still widely faced by companies in various sectors in many countries, both engaged in the public and private sectors, in health institutions, education, banking, state-owned companies, to small companies. The low intensity and inaccessibility of work targets is due to the low quality of human resource performance. Performance is a real behavior that is shown by every employee must be in accordance with their role in the company. The impact of low employee performance is the quality and quantity of work produced is less satisfactory and the creativity of employees is low. This happened to the company PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) Daop 2 Bandung where the level of employee performance has decreased every year, especially in 2016-2018. Surely this is far from the expectations of companies that want their employees to have good performance. This study aims to determine the effect of work discipline and occupational safety and health (OSH) on employee performance. This study useD a quantitative method involving 45 respondents using saturated sampling with data collection techniques using questionnaires. The data analysis technique used was multiple linear regression. 1) The results of this study indicated that the influence of work discipline was by 16.2% on employee performance, 2) while occupational safety and health (OSH) had an effect by 20.07% on employee performance, 3) the effect of work discipline in occupational safety and health (OSH) on employee performance was by 34.4% This shows that the better work discipline and occupational safety and health (OSH), the higher the employee's performance. This means that if work discipline and occupational safety and health are good, optimal work output will be obtained, so that employee performance can improve properly.
