Abstract: This study aimed to determine the effect of work supervision and 5S work attitudes on employee work

productivity at PT Rata Makmur Oil Palm Plantation. This study used quantitative methods involving 35

employees as research samples. The sampling technique was saturated sampling. The data collection used

was a Likert-scale questionnaire. The data analysis technique used an instrument test of reliability validity

and a hypothesis test using multiple linear regression analysis. This study indicates that work supervision and

5S work attitudes have a significant effect either partially or simultaneously on the employee work

productivity at PT Rata Makmur Oil Palm Plantation at 59%. This means that work supervision and the 5S

work attitudes are sufficient to explain their work productivity; the higher work supervision behavior and the

better implementation of 5S work attitudes will increase productivity.

1 INTRODUCTION

Oil palm plantations are one of many promising

business sectors individuals manage in Indonesia,

whether the government or the private sector owns it.

The role of the palm oil industry has a significant

contribution to increasing national economic growth,

reducing poverty, and distributing income for

Indonesians. Based on Dirjen Perkebunan (2014), in

Indonesia, it is known that the ownership percentage

of oil palm plantations is privately-owned (51.86%),

personal-owned (41.42%), and state-owned (6.72%).

Over the last ten years, oil palm plantations have

increased from 6.59 million ha to 11.33 million ha in

Indonesia (PAPSI, 2016). The increasing

development of oil palm plantations shows that

companies must pay attention to aspects of

productivity to have good business competitiveness.

In terms of running the business, the oil palm

plantation companies need reliable human resources

to succeed in many activities in the company. HR is

an essential factor among several other things for a

company, especially in the free trade era, where the

competition is very tight. This condition forces every

company to be able to work effectively, productively,

and efficiently. The high competition also requires

every company to focus its resources, especially on

its people. This makes individuals who can innovate

and realize it to achieve common goals.

To obtain the expected human resources,

especially in oil palm plantation companies, the

business orientation is strongly influenced by

productivity to manage the existing land correctly and

efficiently. Work productivity is the ratio of the

results obtained and workers' participation per unit of

time (Ramadon, Pasmawati, & Kusmindari, 2013).

Work productivity is a form of economic motive to

get maximum results from a certain amount of

financing; in the process, productivity is often placed

as the executor of the company's activities, such as

employees or members. Consequently, humans have

an essential role in achieving results according to the

targets of specific companies, so however good the

equipment used in work is, if it is not balanced, the

production of these goods and services will not work.

To reach the company’s target, it is necessary to

increase the work productivity of its members. This

work productivity includes an open-minded attitude

and view that the current method must be better than

yesterday at work. Work productivity is generally

defined as individual and group skills in acquiring

goods and services. A productive member is

responsive and can make goods and services

according to standard provisions even with a faster

time to achieve high work productivity levels. Based

on this, a manager must try to increase the

productivity of its members so that the company can

maintain its business and even develop it to be more

significant.

PT Rata Makmur is a plantation company that

produces palm oil and plantation products. The

location is in Bekulap Village, Selesai District,

Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, which owns

388.86 hectares. Technically, this company engaged

in oil palm plantations involves a lot of workforce and

resources. So that the achievement of the company's

targets is in line with employee productivity, this is

what underlies the importance of paying attention to

increasing productivity. In the company, work

productivity is the result obtained from the

competence of its employees. High productivity is

closely related to the human resources owned

(Abdussamad, 2013).

The first phenomenon that becomes a problem at

PT Rata Makmur is employee productivity, which

consists of targets and realization measurement. The

better the realization achievement, the better

employees' productivity at PT Rata Makmur. The

given data regarding the marks and realization of

employees or five years describes below:

Table 1: Target and Realization of Work Production of PT

Rata Makmur Employees in 2016 – 2020.

Years

Target

2016 6.000 4.607 76,78%

2017 7.500 5.322 70,96%

2018 7.600 5.901 77,64%

2019 7.600 5.027 66,14%

2020 7.600 4.268 56,16%

Based on the table, it can be seen that from 2016 to

2020, the percentage of work achievement fluctuated

(up and down) with the achievement of targets that

were had in optimal conditions. The lowest

realization of production at PT Rata Makmur was in

2020, which was 4,268 (56.16%). Meanwhile, the

highest realization at PT Rata Makmur was in 2018 at

5,901, and the achievement rate was 77.64%. This

shows that the trend of employment production data

tends to decrease from year to year even though there

was an uplift in 2019. Based on interviews with PT

Rata Makmur management, it is known that the

company increased production targets based on the

previous year's production achievements; if it grew,

the company would increase targets from 2016 to

2017. The level of production achievement was

closely related to employee productivity. Realization

of production is essential for a company, even in

small quantities, because if employee productivity

does not reach the target, the quality of employee

productivity is indicated to be problematic.

Various factors influence low productivity,

including knowledge, skills, abilities, attitudes, and

behaviors (Sulistiyani, 2009). One form of behavior

is work attitude, which results from evaluating the

individual and the state of the work environment,

which can be satisfying, profitable, and enjoyable

results or vice versa (Panggabean, 2014). A positive

attitude also causes good things to be reflected in a

person's perception of the surrounding situation and

conditions. One of the many things that can make a

good work environment is the application of 5S work

attitudes (Seiton, Seiri, Shitsuke, Seiso, and

Seiketsu).

The 5S work attitude is a work attitude originating

from Japan that applies structuring to work situations.

The implementation of 5S is good for improving and

maintaining the work situation; it can also be an

improvement in the method of thinking about the

behavior of applying 5S employees to their work. So

that it can improve work performance, increase work

productivity, reduce time wastage, reduce work

accidents, create a healthy work environment,

minimize work-related diseases and minimize fatigue

(Wingjosoebroto, 2003). 5S is a stage of changing

attitudes by sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and

sustain to get better results in the workplace.

Various companies around the world have widely

applied the 5S work attitude. This 5S work attitude is

inspired by the success of a company in Japan that

focuses on work efficiency to avoid waste. The

application of the 5S work attitude aims to form a

behavioral basis to prevent wasteful attitudes. The

application of the 5S philosophy in Japan is

visualized in the form of an attitude of Sort (seiri), Set

in Order (seiton), Shine (seiso), Standardize

(seiketsu), and Sustain (shitsuke).

Applying the 5S attitude in selecting goods, tools,

or materials that cannot be used should ideally be kept

away from the work area (seiri). This is followed by

arranging and placing the tools and materials used in

the work area (seiton). It is maintaining working

environment conditions to keep it shine (seiso). Then,

to sustain the clean tools, materials, goods, and

objects that last in good condition, Shinsuke is done

(Pasale & Bagi, 2014).

An unhealthy company shows the implementation

of 5S poorly in their workplace. So, no matter how

sophisticated the company's system uses, no matter

how fast the technological advances are used and how

perfect the operating instructions are. The company

will have problems if the work area is full of dirt and

dust in the factory. The work area is filled with

The Effect of Work Supervision and Implementation of 5S Work Attitudes on Employee Work Productivity

313

garbage scattered in such conditions. The company

will not be able to maintain product quality and

reduce productivity (Osada, 2014).

Several previous studies have examined work

attitudes toward work productivity (Istikomah, 2016;

Sewucipto, 2017). However, the research explicitly

examines the 5S attitudes of Seiri, Seiton, Seiso,

Seiketsu, and Shitsuke has not been widely studied.

5S comes from a Japanese word that means sorting,

set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain.

According to Osada (2014), 5S work attitudes can

achieve success when carrying out their duties and

work. They can also influence situations and

conditions to become better, comfortable, healthy,

and conducive, which will ultimately maintain the

stability of the company's resources.

In implementing the 5S, the company must

execute excellent and optimal supervision.

Supervision is needed to enlarge a business; proper

management can indirectly maintain the quality of

goods and services produced in a company. Good

care can be measured by the presence or absence of

problems or obstacles in the process, and the product

obtained reaches the target and is by the

qualifications. Work supervision is very much needed

in a business of any size because good work

supervision will be able to run effectively and

efficiently and obtain optimal results (Lubis, 1985).

Smoother work and good care can result in increased

sound production. According to Siagian (2013),

supervision can also be said to be a process in which

the management reviews the suitability of the goals

and targets set with what is already running; this

conformity will be a benchmark for what steps or

methods need to be taken in managing it, this can be

done if have supervised. Rambe, Rafika, Lubis,

Hasibuan, & Amsal, (2021) stated that work

supervision is making overall observations in

carrying out company activities that are being carried

out according to predetermined provisions.

The organization or management of the company

in carrying out a job requires supervision to ensure

that the implementation of production activities is by

the standard operating procedures (SOP) that have

been set within a company, especially in carrying out

the 5S implementation program so that the program

runs smoothly as expected.

According to Summarjaya (2013), decreased

work productivity can be increased by supervision

from superiors to subordinates in carrying out tasks.

Maintenance carried out by bosses aims to be able to

review and compare the plans made with the

implementation. This supervision is carried out by

superiors so that efforts in achieving the performance

of work results are to company expectations.

According to Siagian (2013), supervision activity is

observing rather than carrying out all organizational

activities to ensure that all work being carried out is

by a predetermined plan. Management aims to find

out weaknesses, difficulties, and the course of

instructions so that changes can be made to improve

and prevent a repetition of wrong activities so that

everything runs efficiently.

A preliminary study conducted at PT Rata

Makmur found that the supervision had been going

smoothly; based on the results of interviews with the

management of PT Rata Makmur, it was found that

the company had carried out supervision of all

employees towards their duties, for example by

setting standards in the process of care, harvesting,

and distribution of oil palm plantation products.

Although the supervision has been carried out

properly, the fact is that productivity has not reached

the target from 2016 to 2020. This phenomenon refers

to previous research conducted by (Marwanto, 2010;

Sinollah, 2018; Summarjaya, 2013), who found an

effect of supervision on employee productivity.

Besides that, Marpaung (2013) found that supervision

is the most dominant factor in increasing employee

productivity on plantations. With these problems, it is

necessary to re-identify the effect of supervision on

employee work productivity.

PT Rata Makmur is an oil palm plantation

company that uses production equipment employees

carry out to manage the plantation. The 5S attitude

has been implemented by the company, for example,

by establishing a selection procedure (Seiri) that

employees need to understand and execute properly.

Furthermore, the work attitude of Seiton is also

applied by PT Rata Makmur by storing items required

in the process of maintaining oil palm plantations,

storing goods properly if needed under certain

conditions, so that if employees have implemented

Seiton properly, the process of finding interests -

goods or tools will not last long. Seiso's attitude

adopted by PT Rata Makmur is to require employees

to clean between the oil palm bunches and their fruit.

The fruit is sorted and cleaned; it is also carried out

by inspecting the harvested palm fruit. The attitude of

Seiketsu applied by PT Rata Makmur is that

employees are continuously involved in the sorting,

arrangement, and cleaning process. Shinsuke's

philosophy used by PT Rata Makmur is to conduct

training to improve abilities, even though there are

things that are difficult to implement. This attitude is

embedded in employees to have the ability to work in

the right way or strategy.

ICOSOP 2022 - International Conference on Social and Political Development 4

314

Supriyanto (2014) revealed that 5S attitudes

(Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke) affect

employee productivity. There has been no previous

research gap on the 5S factor (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso,

Seiketsu, and Shitsuke), so further identification of

this factor is needed to increase employee

productivity. This study aims to determine the effect

of work supervision and the 5S work attitudes (Seiri,

Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke) on employee

productivity at PT Rata Makmur's oil palm

plantations.

2 LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Work Supervision

According to Siagian (2013), work supervision is a

step-in work that aims to guarantee and ensure that

the work carried out is required to comply with the

planned rules. The rules and policies set in their

implementation are adjusted to the plan.

Supervision must make adjustments that are

deemed necessary and take corrective actions,

measure achievements and evaluate what has been

implemented. According to Handoko (2016), work

supervision (controlling) is the application and

discovery of methods and equipment to ensure that

work implementation has been adjusted to the

existing plan. This can be negative or positive.

Negative supervision is used so that unnecessary

activities do not occur again. Supervision to be

positive is used to find out the goals achieved by the

company can be carried out effectively and

efficiently. From the above opinion, it can be

concluded that work supervision is a step-in work that

aims to achieve efficient and effective performance,

which can support the realization of the company's

vision and mission to the fullest.

Handoko (2016) stated that work supervision

consists of four indicators: placement of

implementation or planning standards, work

measurement, work appraisal, and corrective action.

2.2 5S Work Attitudes (Seiri, Seiton,

Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke)

5S work attitude can be interpreted as a method

carried out in carrying out maintenance and sequence

of work areas. This method comes from Japan,

wherein Japanese 5S has the meaning of sort (seiri),

set in order (seiton), shine (seiso), standardize

(seiketsu), and sustain (shitsuke). In its application,

the 5S method can maintain order and discipline at

worksites and increase work time efficiency while

improving overall company performance (Prayogo &

Sutapa, 2015). Another opinion states that applying

the 5S work attitude is considered to increase

motivation and enhance the ability of employees to

complete the work given by the company to the

employee (Sari, 2019). At the same time, Laswitarni

and Lestari (2019) describe that the 5S work attitudes

are a value that becomes a habit or behavior that can

be seen from an attitude into action and behavior

when working or facing external problems so that

every employee of the company can understand the

existing values and how they can act or behave.

2.3 Work Productivity

Sinungan (2014) argues that productivity is the proper

use of resources in producing goods. Siagian (2013)

argues that employee work productivity is the

employee's ability to utilize all available facilities

optimally. According to Sutrisno (2013), employee

work productivity is related to the mental attitude of

workers, with the sense that there is a sense of

wanting to correct all mistakes that have occurred and

believe that work can be completed as a whole better

than the previous days.

Sutrisno (2013) defines work productivity as

something of value for employees in a company.

Work productivity is considered capable of making

the company achieve its goals effectively and

efficiently. According to Mangkunegara (2016),

employee performance productivity is an individual's

understanding of being able to carry out work whose

processes will be better in the future. Productivity is

not just science, technology, and technique; employee

work productivity contains mental attitudes and

philosophical patterns based on a desire to change

lives with better quality.

Based on the results of several definitions

presented by previous experts, it can be concluded

that employee work productivity is the mental attitude

of someone who wants to always be better than before

in doing or doing something by utilizing the

availability of facilities and infrastructure as well as

possible to get maximum output.

Sutrisno (2013) describes indicators of employee

work productivity, ability to improve the results

achieved, morale, self-development, quality, and

efficiency.

3 RESEARCH METHODS

This research method used associative quantitative

methods to examine how a variable has a relationship

and effect on other variables. This study aims to

determine the impact of work supervision and the

application of 5S work attitudes (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso,

Seiketsu, Shitsuke) on employee productivity at PT

Rata Makmur Palm Oil Plantation. This research was

conducted at the Office of PT. Rata Makmur whose

address is at Jl. Protocol of Bekulap Village, Selesai

District. Langkat, North Sumatra Province, and the

study were completed in December 2021-January

2022.

The population in this study were employees at

the PT Rata Makmur Palm Oil Plantation, totaling 35

people. This study uses a sampling technique with the

census method or saturated sampling. Therefore, the

author took all 35 employees as samples in this case.

In this study, primary data was obtained by

distributing the questionnaire directly to employees

of PT. Prosperous Average. In contrast, the secondary

data in this study were obtained from expert opinions,

books, and scientific works relevant to the problem

under study.

To test the research hypothesis using the

following linear regression equation:

Y = ∝ + b1X1 + b2X2 + e

e = Error term.

4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Validity Test

The validity test is calculated using the product-

moment, which can be seen from the Pearson

correlation; if rcount < rtable, the item number is

invalid. On the other hand, if rcount > rtable, then the

item is valid. The validity was tested using the

Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS).

After the rcount is obtained, it is compared to the

rtable with a 95% confidence level or =0.05. The

rtable for df (n-2) = 33 (35-2) is 0.3338. If rcount >

rtable, then the item is declared valid, and if rcount <

rtable, the item is declared invalid. The results of the

validity of each variable are as follows:

4.2 Reliability Test

A reliability test is needed to measure the consistency

of the measurement results from the questionnaire on

repeated use. Cronbach Alpha is the method used in

this study. Cronbach's Alpha is a measure of

reliability that has a value from zero (0) to one. If the

Cronbach Alpha result is greater than the significant

level of 60% or 0.6, the variable is reliable. However,

if the results of Cronbach Alpha are less than the

considerable level of 60% or 0.6, then the variable is

considered unreliable.

4.3 Hypothesis Test

In this study, multiple linear regression analysis was

used to determine the effect of two independent

variables (X1 and X2) on the dependent variable (Y).

The multiple linear regression could perform if the

classical assumptions were sufficient, such as

normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity.

The results of multiple linear regression between

work supervision variables (X1) and the application

of 5S work attitudes (X2) on work productivity (Y)

are described below in table 4.

4.4 Discussions

Work supervision is an understanding of individuals

who can carry out work whose processes will be

The Effect of Work Supervision and Implementation of 5S Work Attitudes on Employee Work Productivity

317

better in the future. Productivity is not only taking up

over science, technology, and technique but also

mental attitudes and philosophical patterns that could

change lives with better quality by a strong desire of

the employee. Since the work process requires

supervision, that aims to keep the work done

according to the standards and rules that have been

adjusted and set.

Based on the analysis of each indicator of work

supervision, the supervision indicators that have been

carried out well are actions (4.29) and then work

measurement (3.61). Nevertheless, the lowest

indicator of work supervision is work appraisal

(3.21). The results of this study indicate a tendency

for lack of evaluation activities on employee

performance related to motivation and supporting

employee satisfaction carried out by superiors or

leaders. Busy activities in oil palm plantations can

cause these. The leadership is engaged in achieving

targets and even participates in production activities.

If the production target is not enough, the opportunity

to encourage and motivate employees is impossible.

This is evidenced by the high score on the action

indicator, where the leadership will be directly

involved if there is work that does not match the

initial target.

This study measured work supervision by the

placement of implementation or planning standards,

work measurement, work appraisal, and corrective

action. Based on the results of the study, it was found

that work supervision (X1) affected employee work

productivity (Y), as evidenced by the count value

more significant than the ttable value, namely 5.756

(5.576> 2.037). In contrast, the significant value

obtained was 0.000, smaller than the alpha of 0.05;

this indicates that H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected.

The results of this study are in line with research

conducted by Legawati (2014); Muslimin (2016);

Yuliani (2011), who found that work supervision

affected employee productivity. This is because the

supervision carried out creates feelings in employees

not to make mistakes at work to increase their

accuracy and discipline in doing work. However, this

will apply otherwise if the supervision of the

employee is not carried out.

Supervision carried out is carried out thoroughly

to avoid deviations from the work steps by employees

and instill discipline in employees. A person's work

productivity is generally assessed based on the

employee's ability to utilize the available resources to

increase optimal results and profits in carrying out

assigned tasks and achieving predetermined work

results (Yuliani, 2011).

The 5S work attitude is the application of a work

attitude that instills aspects of the workplace

correctly, maintains and keeps the workplace neat,

clean, and orderly so that ease of work can be created

(Rinandiyana & Sumaryana, 2015). The 5S attitudes

in this study consisted of seiri (sort), seiton (set in

order), seiso (shine), seiketsu (standardize), and

shitsuke (sustain). Based on the analysis of each

indicator, the 5S work attitudes that have been well

implemented are shitsuke or sustain (3.79), followed

by seiri or sort attitudes (3.76) as well as seiton or set

in order (3.76). At the same time, the least applied

attitude is seiso or shine (3,48).

The results of this study indicate the application

of the 5S attitude, which is quite good at PT. Rata

Makmur, although there are still shortcomings in the

attitude of cleaning work, it can still be said to be

reasonable because of the heaviness of the work

carried out in oil palm plantations, causing fatigue

which will eventually make workers take a break after

completing their work. Even though 20 people work

for land clearing, there is still not enough for a clean

attitude.

Based on the results of the study, there is a

significant effect between the 5S work attitudes (X2)

on employee work productivity (Y) by showing that

the tcount value is greater than the ttable value, which

is 2.900 (2.900>2.037). Furthermore, the significant

value obtained is 0.007, smaller than the alpha level

of 0.05. This shows that H2 is accepted and H0 is

rejected.

The results of this study are in line with research

conducted by Rinandiyana & Sumaryana (2015);

Supriyanto (2014); Yudhanto & Purwanto, (2020),

which state that the 5S work attitudes have a

significant positive effect on employee work

productivity. This can be interpreted that applying 5S

work attitudes can increase productivity in a

company. Since the work attitudes provide

understanding to employees to sort in the workplace,

organize, clean, maintain working environmental

conditions and maintain the habits needed to obtain

optimal results (Supriyanto, 2014).

Based on the results of hypothesis testing, it is

known that work supervision (X1) and the 5S work

attitudes (X2) simultaneously affect employee work

productivity (Y) by showing the calculated value is

greater than the ftable value, which is 23.008

(23.008>3.290). In addition, the significant value of

0.000 is smaller than the 0.05 alpha level. This shows

that H3 is accepted and H0 is rejected.

Productivity is a measure or ratio that measures

how productive an employee is, which generally

leads to the results issued (Panjaitan, 2018).

Employee productivity refers to the ability of

employees to take advantage of all conditions and

facilities to achieve optimal results (Supriyanto,

2014; Yuliani, 2011). This concept shows that

productivity can be increased by increasing the

individual's ability to take advantage of various

conditions and environments to achieve optimal

results.

5 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the results and discussion of the effect of

work supervision and the 5S work attitudes on work

productivity of Oil Palm Plantation at PT. Rata

Makmur, it can be concluded that work supervision

has a positive and significant effect on work

productivity. The better work supervision will

increase employees' work productivity at PT Rata

Makmur's oil palm plantation.

Applying the 5S work attitudes positively and

significantly affects employee work productivity. The

higher the 5S work attitudes will increase employees'

work productivity at PT Rata Makmur's oil palm

plantations.

The work supervision and the 5S work attitudes

simultaneously affect employees' work productivity

at PT Rata Makmur's oil palm plantations. The

coefficient of the determination indicates that the

relationship formed is reasonably close. Thus, work

supervision and the 5S work attitudes can explain

employees' work productivity at PT Rata Makmur's

oil palm plantations.
