Abstract: Discipline is the main factor in bringing the company to progress, with the attitude to follow and obey all

existing rules without feeling forced will affect the performance of each employee -one. This study aims to

determine the effect of discipline on employee work performance at PT. BelitangMakmur OKU Timur and

the form of discipline applied. Data collection techniques are carried out by interview, observation,

documentation, and questionnaires and literature studies. From the results of these calculations, it turns out

that r = 0.14 is obtained. After consulting the conservative standard, it turns out that 0.14 is located between

0.00 - 0.200, which is included in the very low correlation. Then to answer the hypothesis test proposed in the

previous chapter has a relationship or not, then tested by hypothesis testing and obtained t count = 0.451.

While the value of t table at 95% confidence level for (n - 2) = 1,812. Then it can be seen that the value of t

arithmetic is 0.451 smaller than the value of the t table, which is = 1.812, thus means (Ho) is acceptable and

(Ha) is rejected. The study concludes that there is a very low influence between disciplines on employee

performance at PT. BelitangMakmur OKU Timur. Suggestions from this study are PT. East BelitangMakmur

OKU is expected to improve further the quality and quantity of the products produced to be able to compete

more in the future, given that competition and competitors are increasing.

INTRODUCTION

Employees play an important role in maintaining the

sustainability of business ventures both now and in

the future. This is the duty of the manager to provide

action leading to work discipline. Job performance is

a major problem in an organization or company.

Without good work performance at all levels of the

organization or company, achieving goals and

success becomes difficult or even impossible. Every

organization wants maximum work results from

employees. The results of this work can be achieved

if employees can carry out their duties properly.

Work discipline here is the key to the success of

an organization to improve employee work outcomes,

whereas the definition of discipline is the use of some

penalties or sanctions if the employee deviates from

the battle. To overcome this problem, many

employees are influenced by several factors, such as

educational background, environment, personality

skills, and character.

OBJECTIVES AND USE OF

RESEARCH

3.1 Research Objectives

To find out the magnitude of the influence of

discipline on the work performance of employees of

PT. BelitangMakmur OKU Timur and added

knowledge to the author about discipline on employee

performance.

3.2 Usability of Research

be used for development and progress in the future.

CONSEQUENTIAL

FRAMEWORK

Discipline is something that needs to be considered in

the activities of a company or organization.

Discipline actions are carried out with the awareness

of each individual, while awareness is the attitude of

someone who voluntarily obeys all regulations and is

aware of their duties and responsibilities. To achieve

high employee performance is not an easy thing to do.

A very important factor for achieving high work

performance is the implementation of work discipline

from employees because it is one of the determining

factors for success and progress in achieving

company goals.

Understanding of Discipline, according to Malay

SP. Hasibuan (2010; 193) are:

"someone's awareness and willingness to obey all

applicable company regulations and social norms".

According to Malay SP Hasibuan Work

Achievement (2000: pp. 93), namely:

".A result of work achieved by someone in

carrying out the tasks assigned to him based on skills,

experience, and sincerity as well as time.”

employee performance at PT. Belitang Makmur OKU

Timur.

DISCUSSION

The analytical tool used in quantitative analysis is to

use the Product Moment Correlation formula whose

formula is as follows, namely:

r=

(Sugiyono, 2002: page. 213)

Description:

= Amount

r = Correlation coefficient between x and y

X = Discipline Variable (independent variable)

Y = Work Performance Variable

(dependent variable)

n = Number of samples

X2 = Result of square of independent

variable Y2 = Quadratic results of

dependent variable

Xy = Multiplication results between

independent and bound variables

To find out the size of the correlation that arises

between Discipline (x) and employee performance

(y), for that the author uses the Interpretation

Correlation Coefficient guidelines that can be seen in

Table 1 as follows

Table 1.

Interval Coefficients

Coefficient of

Relationship Level

0,00 - 0,199

0,20 - 0,399

0,40 - 0,599

0,60 -

0,799 0,80 -1,000

Very low

Low

Medium

Strong

Very strong

(Sugiyono, 2009: page. 183)

To find out the size of the correlation that arises

between discipline (x) with the work performance of

employees (Y) then it must know the percentage level

(%) using the formula:

KP = r2 x 100%.

After

knowing the percentage level that is

affected, then other factors influence using the

formula:

100% - KP

To test the hypothesis that has been described

whether or not it can be accepted, the author uses

the formula

(Riduwan, 2010: page. 229)

Description

t = Correlation coefficient test

r = Correlation coefficient

n = Number of samples

"t" can be searched by looking at table "t" with

degrees of freedom 0.05 for (n - 2), if t> t (n - 2) then

Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected but if t <t (n - 2)

then Ha is rejected, and Ho is accepted.

Before entering into a predetermined formula, the

results of the research from the questionnaire that has

been distributed to the respondents are tabulated in

the form of a table with an assessment of each answer

given by the respondent as follows:

a. Alternative answer A is given a score of 3

b. Alternative answer B is given a score of 2

From the table above the following results are

obtained:

n = 12

The Effect of Discipline on the Employee Performance in PT. Belitang Makmur in Belitang Oku Timur

321

∑ X2 = 1,336

∑X = 126

∑ Y2 = 1,314.

Y = 124

∑ XY = 1,305

Then the above values are entered into the formula

of the Correlation coefficient as follows:

8.1 Correlation Coefficient

r =

r = 0.14

Based on the results of statistical calculations

obtained r = 0.14. After being consulted with

conservative standards to find out whether or not the

relationship is close it is located at a distance between

0.00 - 0.200. It can be concluded that the influence of

discipline on employee performance at PT. Belitang

Makmur OKU Timur has a very low influence.

To find out the percentage level of influence of

discipline on employee performance at PT. Belitang

Makmur OKU Timur, the writer uses the formula:

Kp = r

X 100%

r = 0.14

= 0.0196

Kp = r

x 100%

Kp = (0.0196) x 100%

Kp = 1.96%

From the results of the above calculations, it can

be concluded that discipline on employee work

performance = 1.96%, meaning factors others that

affect the work performance of employees of PT.

Belitang Makmur OKU Timur is 100% - Kp (100% -

1.96%), there are 98.04%.

After knowing the correlation or influence of

discipline on employee performance at PT.

BelitangMakmur OKU Timur is obtained by the

number r = 0.14 and the percentage level is 1.96%,

then the following writer will answer the hypothesis

proposed previously by using the following formula:

alpha = 0.05

t = (n - 2) = t 0.05 (n - 2)

= t 0.05 (12 - 2)

= t 0.05 (10)

t = 1,812 ……. From the attached t table

r = 0.14

= 0.0196

t =

t= 0.415

From the results of the above calculations, it can be

seen that the value of t arithmetic = 0.451. While the

value of t table at 95% confidence level for (n - 2) =

1,812. Then it can be seen that the value of t

arithmetic is 0.451 smaller than the value of t table

which is = 1.812, thus means (Ho) is acceptable and

(Ha) is rejected

9 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the results of previous research and

discussion, the authors can draw some conclusions

that the correlation between disciplines of employee

performance at PT. BelitangMakmur OKU Timur has

a very low influence because the number r = 0.14.

After consulting the conservative standard, it turns

ICBEEM 2019 - International Conference on Business, Economy, Entrepreneurship and Management

322

out that 0.14 is located between 0.00 - 0.200, which

is included in the very low correlation. So that it can

be said that there is a very low influence between

disciplines on employee performance at PT.

BelitangMakmur OKU Timur. The hypothesis that

has been stated in the previous chapter using the

hypothesis test formula, is obtained (t) table = 1.812

while (t) count = 1.451 which can be concluded that

(t) count> (t) table or (t count is smaller than t table) ,

so the hypothesis proposed in the previous chapter is

not proven or Ho is accepted and Ha is rejected,

because the correlation is very low.

10 SUGGESTIONS

For the leadership of PT. East BelitangMakmur OKU

in order to pay more attention to firmness to

employees so that more discipline and work can be

more perfect and in accordance with the expected

results and PT. East BelitangMakmur OKU is

expected to further improve the quality and quantity

of the products produced in order to be more

competitive in the future, remembering competition
