Increasing Work Productivity supported by Job Opportunities, Work Ability, and Motivation of Indonesian Air Force members

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of opportunity, ability, and work motivation on the work productivity of members at the Indonesian Air Force Headquarters (Mabes AU) in Jakarta. The background of this study is based on the importance of improving the quality of human resources as a key factor in achieving organizational success in the face of global challenges. The research method employed is a quantitative approach, utilizing a causal-comparative research design with an explanatory framework. The research population comprises all 45 members of the Jakarta Air Force Headquarters; therefore, this study employs a census method. Data were collected through questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 25 software. The results of the study indicate that simultaneously, the variables of opportunity, ability, and work motivation have a significant effect on the work productivity of members of the Jakarta Air Force Headquarters. These three variables also have a positive and significant impact on work productivity. Of the three independent variables, work motivation has been proven to have the most dominant effect on increasing the work productivity of members. This indicates that internal and external individual motivation at work is a significant factor influencing overall organizational performance.

The findings of this study have practical implications for the leadership of the Indonesian Air Force Headquarters in Jakarta, emphasizing the importance of providing fair employment opportunities, developing capabilities through training, and enhancing work motivation to create a productive and highly competitive work environment. Theoretically, the results of this study reinforce human resource management studies on the relationship between opportunity, ability, and motivation and work productivity. They can serve as a reference for further research in the context of military and government organizations.
