Referring the table, found a function as below: Y = a bx Remark: Y= Working productivity a= constant setting b= regression setting x= Motivation it is found the regression function as follow: Y = 47. The regression equation presents that . value of 47. 925 is the condition where the variable productivity is not yet getting impact from variable motivation.

The test of significance of regression coefficient is needed to recognize the significance impact each variable X on Y. The partial testing of hypothesis used to generate partial test of independent variable on dependent variable. It is to recognize the impact of variable motivation (X) on employee productivity (Y) which can be seen from the table 7. From the table, it is found that motivation(X) has pAevalue . 000 which means <0.
