Abstract

This research examines competence, internal communication, and organizational culture impacts on employee performance at Savings and Loan Cooperative CU.

Employing quantitative methodology with 39 employee respondents, the study investigates performance determinants through questionnaire-based primary data collection. Multiple linear regression analysis reveals significant positive relationships between competence and performance (t-value: 3.270, significance: 0.002). The determination coefficient (R²=0.451) demonstrates that independent variables explain 45.1% of performance variance, with competence emerging as the dominant predictor. Findings confirm that workforce capability development, communication infrastructure, and cultural alignment enhance organizational effectiveness, supporting sustainable cooperative performance in agricultural communities.
