Analysis of the Influence of Job Placement, Workload, and Leadership on Employee Job Satisfaction XYZ Entity

Abstract

This study examines the impact of job placement, workload, and leadership on employee job satisfaction at XYZ, an Indonesian outsourcing firm. Employing a full-population survey (N = 62) of production and sales staff, it conducted correlational and multiple regression analyses validated by classical assumption tests. Results demonstrated statistically significant, moderate positive associations between job satisfaction and job placement (r = 0.481), workload (r = 0.498), and leadership (r = 0.434). The F-test indicates that all three independent variables collectively have a significant effect on job satisfaction (F = 7.599, p = 0.000). However, partial (t-test) analysis reveals that none of the variables—job placement, workload, or leadership—individually have a statistically significant effect on job satisfaction, with all p-values exceeding 0.05. The R-squared value of 0.282 indicates that 28.2% of the variation in job satisfaction can be attributed to the three independent variables. These findings advocate for integrated HR interventions harmonizing competence-based placement (tawzīf al-ʿadl), equitable task allocation (taklīf maqsūd), and values-driven leadership (qiyādah khādimah)—core tenets of Islamic management.
