INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of Scientific Papers

Currently emerging various types of new businesses and growing rapidly in the country.
With this new business is expected to reduce the number of unemployed for the people of
Indonesia. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) survey in February 2007, the
number of unemployed undergraduates is around 700 thousand people (151,000 diploma holders
I / II, 179,000 graduates / diploma III and 409,000 undergraduate students). Indonesia ranks 1 in
Asia in the highest number of unemployed (data obtained from Entrepreneurship book editor's
note Being a great businessman). On the other hand the company needs human resources to
operate its activities, because the factor of human labor plays a very important role in achieving
company goals. Resource management is a series of processes of organizational activity aimed at
recruiting, developing, and retaining existing employees in order to carry out activities in the
company in achieving goals. Human resources management process is very important to be
understood by every entrepreneur to ensure the sustainability of his business in the future. Many
factors determine the quality of human resources. Every human being has different character and
behavior. Factors such as background, age of experience related to position, level of formal
education, compensation of wages, skill person, skill, basic character and other factors of labor
itself all have a role that determines the level of accuracy of one's position in an organization Or
company. One of the targets of human resource management on organizational management
functions related to leadership issues. A person who has been appointed as leader to lead his
subordinates, he who must run the organization's own functions that determine the success or
failure of a company. Successful leadership demonstrates that the management of an
organization or company is successfully executed as well. Every ability in leadership must be
firmly attached to a leader, whatever responsibility he or she has to accept. Because without the
ability to lead first in terms of managing human resources, does not allow a leader to succeed

4
well in carrying out responsibilities. Of a number of such behavior will affect the course of
company activities. Not only will it affect the outcomes that will be achieved by the company,
but also the communities that become partners of the company will feel. Managers must
understand and realize that the most important challenge faced is how to apply these three
aspects appropriately in certain situations to achieve optimum results in the form of a satisfactory
quality of human resources. Attitudes and style of leader behavior is very big influence on the
organization he leads, this can affect the productivity of the organization. Each leader basically
has a different attitude in leading his subordinates this is interpreted by his subordinates as a style
of leadership. As we know, technology is now very advanced, if its workforce is not supportive
and not technologically competent, then the possibility of the company will not reach the
expected target. To support the achievement of the success of corporate goals, the workforce
must work in accordance with its function. Leaders have a very important role. The leader of the
company should be able to embrace each of his subordinates wisely and well. Being able to
motivate, appreciate, inspire can give satisfaction to the workers. Leaders must have the ability
to manage subordinates for the progress of the company.

In the company between superiors and subordinates must communicate good work in
order to create a harmonious working relationship. These employees are expected to achieve
high performance in their respective occupations. Increased enthusiasm and passion of
employees of the company also benefit, will achieve the expected results.

CHAPTER 2

THEORETICAL BASIS

2.1 Human resources management


Human resources are individuals within the organization that make a valuable contribution to
the achievement of organizational goals. Good organizations always need competent and capable
human resources within the organization.

"The key to business success is determined by the expertise in applying the 7k factor of
human resources to the process of receiving employees, experts, and leaders, related: character,
credibility, commitment, capacity, capability, creativity, and compatibility" delivered by Eddy
Soeryanto Soegoto (Entrepreneurship Become a Successful Businessman 2014: 305).

Human Resource Management is a science and process consisting of planning,


organizing, leading, and controlling to achieve the vision of the company's planned mission.

2.2 Leadership

As we know leaders can influence morale, the quality of life of their workers and the
achievement of an organization to carry out its tasks and organizational goals. Leaders also play
an important role in helping groups, individuals to achieve goals.

"A leader is a person who must have the ability: Problem solver, visionary, systematic,
responsive, disciplined, integrity, democratic, creative, and responsible, able to motivate,
appreciate, and inspire people and expertly mobilize organizational resources for the progress of
the company or organization" (Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto) is quoted from the book Entrepreneur
become a great businessman (2014: 345).

7
Managerial leadership is the science and process of directing and influencing the
activities, activities, and tasks of its members so that the goals to be achieved can be achieved.
From the description above we can know, leadership is the ability and behavior of a leader to
influence and direct others for the achievement of organizational goals.

2.3 Leadership style

Is the actions and behaviors that leaders do in dealing with subordinates. There are three kinds
of leadership styles: leadership styles based on initiation structure, oriented to subordinates and
production and on task-oriented leadership style.

Leadership style based on initiation structure has characteristics:

- Courteus

- Want to consult

- Support, defend, listen to subordinates

- As well as treating her level

Leadership style oriented to employees or subordinates characterized by several things as


follows.

- Leaders are more motivating than providing supervision to subordinates.

- Leaders involve subordinates in decision making.

- Leaders are more family, trust and cooperation, mutual respect among fellow members of the
group.

In an oriented style the task is marked by several things as follows:

8
- Leaders give instructions to subordinates.

- Leaders always conduct strict supervision of subordinates.

- The leader assures the subordinate that tasks must be carried out in accordance with his wishes.

- Leaders put more emphasis on execution of duties than coaching and developing subordinates.

To motivate subordinates, managers not only use economic rewards but also try to give
subordinates necessary and important feelings.

In reality, more employee-oriented leaders will in some cases produce more effective results.
This does not mean the leader ignores the needs of production or work within his department.
Successful leadership requires a deep understanding of subordinates. Therefore, leaders really
need to develop some skills:

1. Objectivity to relationships and human behavior.

The point is that leaders should look at their subordinates and behaviors objectively, without
prejudice and no emotion.

2. Proficient in communicating within the company and society.

That is, the leader must be able to speak and write frankly and carefully summarize statements
from others. Leaders must be approachable, know their informal groups and leaders, thoroughly
disclose goals and seek to cooperate with others.

3. Assertiveness.

The ability to project yourself mentally and emotionally into a follower's position. This ability
helps leaders to understand the views, beliefs and actions of their subordinates.

4. Be aware of yourself.

That is, leaders need to know what impression

Which he made to others. Leaders must strive to fulfill the role that followers expect.

5. Teach.

9
That is the leader must be able to use

Skills for guidance, and rectification in guidance with examples.

There are four dimensions of the situation dynamically that will affect the style

One's leadership.

1. Managerial skills

2. Characteristics of work

3. Characteristics of the organization

4. Characteristics of workers

2.4 The Purpose Function


The leader performs its function in the group environment to be operationally effective. A
leader has six functions: the function of leader as executive, mediator, advocate, expert, leader of
discussion and social function / group maintenance.

The function associated with the leader as an executive, also known as the administrator or
manager of its function is to determine the policy that becomes an activity. The leader as
mediator of his function is to judge, meaning to have the responsibility and have the skills to be
fair to each of his subordinates. As an advocate can also be called as a spokesperson and also
director opinion opinion must be good at getting along and fluent in speaking. As an expert
means as a light, as a discussion leader is a democratic leader communication is key to being
able to play its role as a discussion leader. While the function of group maintenance / social
functions include all the things that make up the group in carrying out its operational tasks to
achieve the goals and objectives. As an example of agreement with other groups, mediate group

10
disagreements and so on. The leader who successfully performs both functions well is a
successful leader.

2.5 Spirit and Excitement Work

Employees will not be separated from the spirit and enthusiasm of work in the activities
that are the responsibility of his work, then the employee will always be able to do the job well.
What is meant by the morale of work is able to do the job more vigorously with various drives,
so the work is expected to be faster and better. While the meaning of enthusiasm work is the
work will be liked by employees.

Job morale and employee enthusiasm affect the quality of work and productivity. Lack of
fun or excitement can lead to absenteeism, strikes, pretenses and other actions and reactions. In
the long run the low enthusiasm and enthusiasm of work will reduce the productivity of the
company and harm the company. To obtain increased productivity of the company, the company
needs to increase the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of its employees.

Companies must be able to try and motivate employees to have high spirit and
enthusiasm of work, so that company will get high profit, work will be more quickly solved,
damage can be reduced, absences can be minimized, the possibility of employee movement can
be minimized to a minimum, so that work productivity Can be improved.

2.6 Indication of Low Spirit and Excitement

Companies should be able to take preventive / problem-solving measures as early as


possible. By knowing this indication it will be able to know the causes of the decline in
enthusiasm and excitement of work. These indications include:

- Decrease / low productivity work.

Measuring the down / low productivity of work can be done by comparing with the previous
time. This decreased work productivity can occur due to laziness or work delays.

12
- High attendance rate.

absenteeism. Can not see the rise of this level of absences individually but should be seen on
average.

- High rate of labor movement.

to find another job that is considered more appropriate. High levels of labor discharge in addition
to reducing work productivity, can also disrupt the continuity of the company's work.

- The degree of damage is rising / high.

Frequent occurrences of carelessness in work and so on show that attention in work is reduced,

courage to file a demand.

- Strikes.

The strongest level of indication of a lack of enthusiasm and excitement is when there is a strike.
This is because strikes are a manifestation of employee dissatisfaction and anxiety.

13
2.7 For The Fall of Spirit and Enthusiasm Work

There are many causes which lead to a decrease in enthusiasm and excitement, such as
too low wages, inadequate facilities, unsuitable leadership styles, poor working environments
and so on. To solve the problem then the company must be able to find the cause of the downs of
enthusiasm and excitement of work. In principle, the decline in enthusiasm and enthusiasm of
work caused by the dissatisfaction of the employees. The source of dissatisfaction can be
material and non-material. The material, such as low wages received, facilities are minimal and

3.2 Employee Motivation

Motivation in work can gradually disappear in the middle of a heap of high workloads. A low
work spiral will have an impact on the worsening employee performance, lower productivity,
and ultimately will hinder the achievement of corporate goals.

Employees always wish for what the employees give to companies and companies to give
them. The success of a leader is influenced by each of his subordinates. It becomes the obligation
of every leader for his employees to excel. Job satisfaction and employee morale is influenced by
the contribution of employees to the organization and the incentives that the organization
provides for the work performance of its employees. Job satisfaction is in carrying out the work
of employees get increased enjoyment received from the company. A satisfied employee tends to
have a high morale, he enjoys his job and is less satisfied if he does not enjoy his work.

Therefore, it takes the role of a leader who is able to pump back their spirits. Steps that leaders
need to take to improve employee work motivation in the company:

1. Provide rewards for outstanding employees

As a form of appreciation to the best employees in the company, you can provide bonuses or
incentives that are worth the achievements. This way will boost the morale of other employees to
carve the best achievement for the company.

18
2. Strengthening kinship among employees

A close family relationship will make them feel comfortable working and loyalty to the company
will increase. This can be built by holding gatherings or regular meetings every month to
establish the intimacy of employees in the company.

3. Recognize the shortcomings and advantages of each employee

Every employee in your company certainly has its own characteristics. Corporate leaders need to
recognize their shortcomings and strengths in order to optimize employee performance. With this
approach, you can help employees who have difficulty working on their duties to achieve
achievement like other colleagues.

4. Provide training of employees regularly and periodically

Sometimes, doing the same job every day keeps employees bored and tired. Employee training
can provide motivation to revive their morale.

3.3 Work Motivation Goals


The purpose of motivating employees is to:

A. Improve employee morale and job satisfaction. Employee job satisfaction is the key driver of
morale, discipline, and employee performance in supporting the realization of corporate
objectives.

B. Increase employee productivity. With high productivity, activities will be completed with
Iaik, so it will provide benefits to the company.

C. Improve employee discipline. Discipline becomes the key to the realization of corporate
goals, employees and society. Good discipline means that employees are aware and willing to do

friendly boss, understanding, respecting and showing support to subordinates will create a good
working relationship.

making processes. In this way, employees feel responsible for the achievement of corporate
goals so that morale and passion will increase.

mempunyal then the employee will have a sense of responsibility in carrying out its duties, and
the employee will finish the job well.

Based on the above explanation, that in every company required a high work motivation from its
employees. If there is no high work motivation from employees within a company, it will be
difficult for the company to achieve its objectives.

3.4 How to Increase Spirit and Enthusiasm Work

Every company always strives to increase the spirit and enthusiasm of work as much as possible,
within the limits of the company's capabilities. The question arises here how to improve the spirit
and enthusiasm of work as much as possible. For that here will be tried to provide some ways
how to improve the spirit and enthusiasm work, both material and non-material. How or a
combination of which way is most appropriate, is certainly dependent on the situation and

20
condition of the company and the goals to be achieved. For that here will be put forward several
ways:

- Placing employees in the right position.

- Provide opportunities for employees to move forward.

- Pay attention to the sense of security for the future.

- Seek employees to have loyalty.

- Occasionally invite employees to negotiate.

- Giving a nice facility

Problems

Many companies suffer from losses due to a lack of attention to the human factor, which in the
company factors have a significant role in the business achievement of corporate goals.

The analysis of this problem is very useful as a material thought and consideration in
management decision making. Some of the benefits will be obtained from the analysis and can
be used as a material of policy evaluation, which has been giving results that are less in line with
what is expected by the company.

The prevailing leadership style in the company is the task-oriented leadership style and the
tendency to decrease the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the employees.

Problem solving

21
To solve the problems faced by companies as mentioned above, some solutions that may be done
are as follows:

1. The leader of the company should change its leadership style to fit the wishes of the
employees, which is to change from autocratic style to participative leadership style.

2. Corporate leaders need to pay attention to activities that are recreational that can be
implemented at certain times, such as excursions with family employees or sports together. This
will provide a family atmosphere that is useful to establish a harmonious relationship between
the leadership with employees.

3. The management of the company should explain in detail or explicitly the objectives,
objectives and programs of the company to be implemented. To achieve the goals and objectives
of the company leadership should be more open to employees by creating a two-way
communication path.
