The Influence of Knowledge Sharing, Organizational Values Alignment, and Quality of Leadership on Organizational Performance: The Mediating Role of Employee Commitment at PT PLN Batubara Niaga
The phenomenon at PT PLN Batubara Niaga indicates a gap between the demands for improved organizational performance and the relatively low employee commitment, weak collaborative work culture, and misalignment of organizational values in daily operations, which may hinder the achievement of company targets. This study aims to analyze the effects of knowledge sharing, organizational values alignment, and quality of leadership on employee performance, with employee commitment serving as a mediating variable. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method through the distribution of questionnaires to 100 respondents. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. The results indicate that knowledge sharing, organizational values alignment, and quality of leadership have positive and significant effects on both employee commitment and employee performance. Employee commitment was also found to mediate the influence of the three independent variables on employee performance. Theoretically, this study strengthens the understanding of commitment as a linking mechanism between organizational practices and individual performance. Managerially, the findings highlight the importance of fostering a knowledge-sharing culture, aligning organizational values, and improving leadership quality to enhance employee commitment and performance. Future research is recommended to incorporate contextual variables such as organizational innovation or employee engagement, and to expand the sample size to improve the generalizability of findings in the energy sector and related industries.
