Abstract

Discipline was related to one's awareness and willingness to obey all company regulations and social norms that apply. Issues related to discipline became a phenomenon which was often encountered and carried out by many employees. Low discipline behavior had negative implications for the organization. Therefore, empirical studies related to factors that explained disciplinary behavior became a topic of study that was still relevant to be studied. Mapping of the explanatory factors for disciplinary behavior was carried out through the study of previous research results which then purses four explanatory variables, namely leadership style, organizational communication climate, and work motivation level. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of leadership style, organizational communication climate, the level of work motivation, and level of work discipline. This research was conducted with an explanatory quantitative approach using a questionnaire on 61 employees of the Higher Education Service Institute (LLDIKTI) Region VI of Central Java. The Social Cognitive Theory was used as the grand theory in this study. Data analysis was performed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The results of statistical tests that had been carried out in this study show that leadership style had a significant positive effect on organizational communication climate and work motivation level, organizational communication climate had a significant positive effect on work motivation level. Whereas testing the level of work motivation and leadership style on the level of employee discipline was not a significant positive effect.
