INTRODUCTION
In order to improve the image and performance of government agencies towards
professionalism and support the creation of good governance, it is necessary to unify the
direction and views of all levels of government employees which can be used as guidelines or
references in carrying out both managerial and operational tasks in all fields of tasks and
organizational units of Government Agencies in an integrated manner.
To avoid problems that will arise in carrying out general government tasks, especially
those related to efforts to improve service performance to the community, leaders are needed
who are able to influence the behavior of their employees or subordinates, so that in carrying
out the main tasks and functions of their employees they can help and complete tasks carried

out together in achieving organizational goals. In this era of reform, one of the biggest challenges
faced by the government in Indonesia, especially local governments, is how to then present a
government apparatus that is professional in nature, has a work ethic and function, and fulfills
the aspirations of the community to be free from collusion, corruption and nepotism.
One of the factors that can affect employee performance is the work environment.
According to Mangkunegara (2015:105) states that the work environment is all aspects of
physical work, psychological work and work regulations that can affect job satisfaction and the
achievement of work productivity. Meanwhile, according to Nitisemito (2015:184) the work
environment is everything that is around the worker that can affect him in carrying out the tasks
assigned to him. Furthermore, Nitisemito (2015:159) states that the work environment can be
influenced by the work atmosphere, relationships with coworkers, the availability of work
facilities.
In addition to the work environment, leadership factors also influence good
performance. Where this leadership is a way or activity carried out by the leader who can direct,
encourage, influence the employees he leads in order to realize the goals set by the organization
he leads. Kartono (2017:159) suggests that the indicators of leadership are decision-making
ability, motivating ability, communication ability, ability to control subordinates, responsibility,
and ability to control emotions.
The Kaur Regency DPRD Secretariat is one of the work units within the scope of the
district government which has the function of organizing administrative services and providing
support for the duties and functions of the Regional People's Representative Council, implicitly
required to improve its performance and its staff so as to create an increase in the quality of the
role and function of the Secretary and the council and its staff as mediators and facilitators will
greatly support the optimization of the effectiveness and efficiency of the role and function of
the Kaur Regency DPRD in the context of implementing the Tri Function of DPRD, namely the
function of legislation, budget function and supervisory function.
Improving the performance of employees of the Kaur Regency DPRD Secretariat is done
by increasing the ability of the apparatus to carry out their duties in serving regional devices so
that employee performance will be realized. Good performance is very important for DPRD
Secretariat employees, so that each employee can make a positive contribution to achieving
organizational goals. According to Mangkunegara (2015:67) provides an understanding of
performance, namely the quality and quantity of work achieved by a person in carrying out his
duties in accordance with the responsibilities given to him.
In improving employee performance at the Kaur Regency DPRD, the Kaur Regency DPRD
Secretariat must pay attention to the work environment and leadership style. However, in its
implementation, there are still employees who lack concentration in carrying out activities, often
chatting with other coworkers, other things can also be seen from the noise at work caused by
arguing or arguing between fellow employees and fellow council members, besides that the
leadership does not direct employees at work and the leadership immediately assigns tasks
without prior explanation, and the lack of assertiveness of the leadership in reprimanding
subordinates who lack discipline.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Work Environtment
The work environment in an organization needs to be considered, this is because the
work environment has a direct influence on employees, a conducive work environment can
improve employee performance and vice versa, an inadequate work environment will affect the
decline in employee performance. The condition of the work environment is said to be good if
humans can carry out activities optimally, healthily, safely and comfortably. The suitability of the

work environment can be seen as a result over a long period of time. A poor work environment
can demand more labor and time and does not support the design of an efficient work system.
Munandar (2010: 133) states that the work environment, especially in the form of good
working relationships, can make a way to fulfill the needs of workers to achieve optimal
performance. The environment is a work environment where all organizational activities are
carried out to achieve goals. The work environment is a situation where a good workplace
includes physical and non-physical conditions that can give a pleasant, safe, peaceful impression,
feeling at home / at home and so on. The indicators are:
1) Work equipment which includes work support facilities and infrastructure such as computers,
typewriters and so on.
2) Services to employees or the provision of places of worship, health facilities, cooperatives to
the restroom
3) Working conditions, such as space, temperature, lighting, air ventilation.
4) Personal relationships which include cooperation between employees and superiors.
According to Nitisemito (2015:184) the work environment is everything that is around the
worker that can affect him in carrying out the tasks assigned to him. The work environment is an
environment where employees work, while working conditions are where employees work. Thus,
working conditions are actually one of the elements of the work environment, in other words,
the work environment in a company does not only consist of working conditions but working
conditions coupled with other aspects that make up the work environment. Nitisemito (2015:
159) states that the work environment is measured through: work atmosphere, relationships
with coworkers, availability of work facilities.
Leadership
Leadership is the spearhead of all organizations and companies in running the wheels of
their organization, this is because every organization needs someone who is the driving force of
the organization that regulates all activities that occur in the organization which basically has
many employees working in it. In the complexity of society, humans must live together and work
together in an orderly atmosphere and be guided by a leader and not live alone. In an effort to
achieve a common goal and to maintain a common life, cooperative work is needed which needs
to be guided by a leader. In addition to order, what we need to pay attention to is role models. A
community needs a role model, that is, a figure who is embraced who is considered capable of
nurturing and protecting them and can be relied upon for diplomacy with other communities
(Kartono, 2017: 2).
A leader is a person who has skills and advantages, especially skills / advantages in one
field so that he is able to influence other people to jointly carry out certain activities for the
achievement of one or several goals. A leader is a person who has skills and advantages,
especially skills / advantages in one field, so that he is able to influence others to jointly carry out
certain activities for the achievement of one or several goals (Kartono, 2017:181).
Before understanding more about leadership, it is better to know the definition of a
leader first, which means that a leader is someone who because of his personal skills with or
without official appointment can influence the group he leads to mobilize joint efforts towards
achieving certain goals (Winardi, 2016: 2).
Then Martoyo (2017:175) argues that a leader is someone who has the ability to lead,
meaning that he has the ability to influence the behavior of other people or groups without
regard to form, while leadership is the overall activity in order to influence people to work
together to achieve mutually desired goals.
Wahjosumidjo (2015:17) says that what is called leadership is the term traits, personal
behavior, influence on others, patterns, interactions, inter-role cooperation relationships, the
position of an administrative position, and persuasive, and the perception of others about the

legitimacy of influence. While Winardi (2016:47) reveals, leadership is an inherent ability of a
person who leads, which depends on various factors, both internal factors and external factors.
According to Kartono (2017: 159), leadership indicators are as follows: ability to make
decisions, ability to motivate, communication skills, ability to control subordinates,
responsibility, ability to control emotional.
Performance
Performance improvement is something that is desired both from the employer and the
workers. Employers want their employees to perform well for the purpose of increasing work
results and company/organization profits. On the other hand, workers are interested in self-
development and job promotion. In general, it can be said that good employee performance
aims to increase productivity. Therefore, the improvement of the work system is carried out by
every component in the company.
According to Rivai and Basri (2012: 50), performance is the result or level of success of a
person as a whole during a certain period in carrying out tasks compared to various possibilities,
such as work result standards, targets or goals or criteria that have been determined in advance
and agreed upon together.
Mangkunegara (2015:67) provides an understanding of performance, namely the quality
and quantity of work achieved by a person in carrying out his duties in accordance with the
responsibilities given to him, while performance according to Hasibuan (2016: 160) is a result of
the work achieved by a person in carrying out his duties on skills, effort and opportunity.
As'ad (2014:47) argues that job performance is the result achieved by a person according
to the measures that apply to the job in question. From some of the expert opinions above, it
can be concluded that performance is the work of a group of people in an organization that is
carried out in accordance with regulations to achieve company goals.
A job can be determined from the content of a job, it can be used as the basis for
assessing each job. To facilitate employee performance appraisal, job standards must be clearly
measured and understood. Bangun (2012: 233) states that a job can be measured through the
following indicators: The amount of work, Quality of work, Timeliness, Attendance, Ability to
cooperate.
METHODS
Type of Research
The type of research used in this research is quantitative research with a descriptive
approach. According to Sugiyono (2014:13) quantitative research methods are defined as
research methods based on the philosophy of positivism which are used to research on certain
populations and samples, sampling techniques are generally carried out randomly, data
collection using research instruments, data analysis is quantitative / statistical with the aim of
testing predetermined hypotheses.
Population and Sample
The population in this study were all civil servants at the Kaur Regency DPRD Secretariat
totaling 44 people. The sampling method uses the census method, which is a method of
determining the sample when all members of the population are used as research samples.
Because the sampling method uses the census method, the number of samples is 44 people.
Method of Collecting data
The data collection method used in this research is using a questionnaire, data
processing using IBM SPSS 25 for Windows.

Validity Test
To measure the validity of the questionnaire given to respondents, a validity test is used.
If all the instruments of the questionnaire tested are appropriate, then the instrument is said to
be valid. The validity test assessment criteria are if r count > r table, then the questionnaire items
are valid. If r count < r table, it is said that the questionnaire items are invalid.
Reliability Test
The questionnaire is said to be reliable if the questionnaire provides consistent results if
used repeatedly with the assumption that the conditions at the time of measurement do not
change / the same object. The decision-making method in the reliability test is to use the 0.60
limit, which means that a variable is said to be reliable if the value shows Cronbach's Alpha is
greater than 0.60.
Multiple Linear Regression
To measure the influence of several independent variables on the dependent variable,
multiple linear regression is used. The formula for multiple linear regression equations
(Sugiyono, 2014: 192): Y = a + b1X1 + b2X2 + e
Description:
Y : Employee performance
a : Constant / fixed
X1 : work environment
X2 : Leadership
b1, b2, : Multiple Regression Coefficient
e : error
Coefficient of Determination
The coefficient of determination is used to determine how much influence the
independent variables contribute simultaneously (together) to the dependent variable. The
coefficient of determination (R Square or R squared) which means the contribution of the
influence given by the independent variable or independent variable to the dependent variable
or dependent variable. The coefficient of determination is between zero and one (0 < R² < 1). A
small R² value means that the ability of the independent variables to explain the variation in the
dependent variable is very limited.
t test
To determine whether the influence variable partially or each affects the affected
variable, the t test is used. The test is carried out using a significance level of 0.05.
The hypothesis criteria are:
1. If the probability of significance is < 0.05 then H0 is rejected Ha is accepted, meaning that
there is a significant influence between the independent / affected variables on the
dependent / affected variable.
2. If the probability of significance > 0.05 then H0 is accepted Ha is rejected, meaning that there
is no significant influence between the independent / affected variables on the dependent /
affected variable.
F test
To determine whether the influence variables together or simultaneously affect the
affected variable, the F test is used. The test is carried out using a significance level of 0.05.
The hypothesis criteria are:

892 | Liasmawati, Ida Anggriani, Yudi Irawan Abi ; The Effect of Work Environment and Leadership...
1. If the probability of significance is < 0.05 then H0 is rejected Ha is accepted, meaning
that there is a significant influence between the independent / affected variables on the
dependent / affected variable.
2. If the probability of significance is > 0.05 then H0 is accepted Ha is rejected, meaning
that there is no significant influence between the independent / affected variables on the
dependent / affected variable.
RESULTS
Validity Test
To test the research instrument, the validity test is used, the instrument can provide
results in accordance with its purpose. The validity test is carried out by calculating the
correlation between the item score and the total score. Analysis of the statement items
empirically the validity coefficient is called the corrected item total correlation or the total
corrected item correlation coefficient. Then the correlation coefficient of the analysis results is
compared with the predetermined provisions that the test if r count > r table (0, 2973) the
statement is declared valid if r count is greater than 0, 2973 (r table attached) then the statement
is suitable for use as a research instrument test tool.
Based on the validity test conducted using the SPSS application, the following data were
obtained:

Based on the table above, the results show that all statement items for the performance variable
(Y) are valid, this is evidenced that the entire correlation value of each statement item is greater
than 0, 2973 or r count > r table (0, 2973).
Reliability Test
The decision-making method in the reliability test is to use the 0.60 limit, which means
that a variable is said to be reliable if the value shows Cronbach's alpha is greater than 0.60. The
reliability test procedure is if alpha (α) cronbach <0.60 then the instrument is not reliable, and if
alpha (α) cronbach> 0.60 then the instrument is reliable.
Based on the research results obtained through SPSS, Cronbach's alpha (α) can be seen in the
following table:

The Effect of Work Environment on Employee Performance at the Kaur Regency DPRD
Secretariat
From table 9 above, it can be seen for partial hypothesis testing that the work
environment variable (X1) has a significance value (sign.) of 0.000 which means that the work
environment has a significant effect on employee performance at the Kaur Regency Regional
Secretariat because the significance value is 0.000 <0.05, so the hypothesis in this study is
accepted. This illustrates that the more improved or good the work environment provided by the
Kaur Regency DPRD Secretariat to employees, the more employee performance will increase,
meaning that the Kaur Regency DPRD Secretariat will continue to provide the work environment
desired by employees at the Kaur Regency DPRD Secretariat, because a good work environment
will improve employee performance at the Kaur Regency DPRD Secretariat.
