The Effect of Workload and Leadership on Employee Performance in a Real Estate Company in Sidoarjo

Abstract

Economic dynamics in the real estate sector encourage companies to maintain operational efficiency through effective human resource management. This study aims to analyze the impact of workload and leadership on employee performance at a real estate company in Sidoarjo. A quantitative approach using saturated sampling was employed, selecting all 45 employees who met the research criteria as respondents. Primary data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using partial least squares (PLS). The results showed a negative correlation between workload and employee performance, but the impact was not statistically significant. Conversely, leadership showed a significant positive impact on employee performance. Based on these findings, companies need to implement clear operational communication, systematic instructions, and appropriate workload management to maintain optimal employee productivity.
