The Influence of Work Motivation and Organizational Culture Towards Employee Performance in the Post-Merger of Three State-Owned Enterprises Sharia Banks in Indonesia: A Case in Bank Syariah Indonesia

Abstract

The prosperity of any organization relies generally on employee’s qualities, capabilities, and skills, which can be measured by their performance. On February 1, 2021 Indonesia's three state-owned sharia banks, PT Bank Syariah Mandiri, PT Bank Negara Indonesia Syariah and PT BRISyariah officially merged their sharia banking unit to become a new entity, namely PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk. Subsequent to the changes that have been made since the mergers, maintaining high employee performance is critical as well as understanding what factors that can boost employee’s performance productivity. In this research, authors assume that work motivation and  organizational culture can have a good impact on employee performance in the post-merger of three state-owned sharia banks. Therefore, to prove it, authors try to conduct research on work motivation and organizational culture to deepen the understanding of the impact of work motivation and organizational culture on Bank Syariah Indonesia as well understanding the impact of mergers and its implications on employees. Methodology used is quantitative by distributing questionnaires to collect the data of 100 employees which then analyzed with multiple linear regression.
