Ceramic products include tile, glass, refractory, porcelain and art ceramic producers, with increasing demand along with the growth of the construction and interior design sectors. Based on research by the Institute for Economic and Community Research. Faculty of Economics and Business.

The situation in the ceramic industry has had a major impact on the Company's work results in 2023 which have not reached the target. In terms of operational production results in 2023, the roof tile ceramic line was recorded as being able to exceed the target, while the Kontigensi: Jurnal Ilmiah Manajemen Management Science Doctoral Program.

The types of defects that commonly occur are: Chipglaze . eeling of the glaze layer, especially on the side of the cerami. Spothole . mall holes on the ceramic surface caused by the firing proces.

They are production capacity, capital, and brand awareness, but have higher requirements for brand placement accuracy, brand image differentiation and integrity, product development and design capabilities, channel targeting, service systems, and operational teams. The threat of loss can be seen from a number of indicators, one of which is the performance of the domestic industry which declined in the 2021-2024 These indicators include domestic sales volume, productivity, utilized capacity, profit, number of workers, increasing inventory, and Human resources are the main tool for the smooth running of an Kontigensi: Jurnal Ilmiah Manajemen Management Science Doctoral Program.

On the other hand, if the company has difficulty in achieving the goals that have been set, this is due to potential problems in employee performance that need to be reviewed and improved (Hutabarat, 2.

From each existing variable, it is hoped that there will be a relationship that causes a causeand-effect relationship. This refers to the opinion (Sahir, 2. that quantitative research is carried out by looking for the relationship between other variables, with the intention of answering each existing problem formulation from the hypothesis that has been previously formulated using statistical engineering Population is the overall score of individuals whose characteristics are to be studied and these units are called units of analysis, and can be people, institutions, objects (Sahir, 2. In the study, the researcher used data from the HR division as a reference for the number of target populations, namely employees working in the PT. XYZ Wall Ceramic Industry in Karawang. The sampling technique uses non-probability sampling, namely purposive sampling. Purposive sampling is a non-probability sampling design, where the required information is collected from specific targets or groups, based on certain considerations or criteria. The criteria in this study were that the researcher selected employees who work in the Ceramic Industry in the Karawang area which is listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, working in the production operator section, with a high school education, and aged 21-40 years. So the number of samples that will be used in this study is 148. In this study, the data used are primary data and secondary Primary data is data collected directly by researchers from the first source, namely the research object itself. Primary data collection can be done using techniques such as interviews.
