INTRODUCTION Theoretical and conceptual studies on organizational performance have been widely studied and are receiving increasing attention from various modern academics and practitioners around the world, including governments, researchers, policy makers, companies, media, and consumers (Kumar & Christodoulopoulou, 2014. Martynez & Rodryguez del Bosque , 2. Especially in the business sector, organizational performance has encouraged many companies to adopt a competitive advantage and as a means to master future business competition (C. Adams & Zutshi, 2004. Cronin. Smith. Gleim. Ramirez, & Martinez, 2011. Gupta & Kumar. International Journal of Educational Administration. Management, and Leadership Volume 4. Number 1. May 2023.

While the orthodox paradigm is related to organizational performance that uses human resources to gain profitability, (Kumar & Christodoulopoulou, 2. Companies that try to maximize their profits will not be able to survive in the long term without good and professional organizational performance (Govindarajan & Srinivas, 2012. Kumar & Christodoulopoulou. This paradigm has driven expectations and transformation at the corporate and industrial levels towards professional organizational performance. According to Edison et. 7: . performance is the result of a process that refers to and is measured over a certain period of time. time based on terms or agreements that have been Furthermore (Dewi Rosmala, et al: 2. Defining that employee performance depends on a leader whose role is to decide, direct and supervise his employees. Therefore, leadership style has a big role in improving employee performance. Employee performance is an important element that influences and determines organizational performance and enhances its reputation (Anesukanjanakul et al. , 2. The importance of employee performance has increased and taken root over the last few years, as it has become the fastest and first important variable in any organization. It has taken the highest priority in all aspects of work and in administrative contexts (Gridwichai et al. , 2. Employee performance is an important element that influences and determines organizational performance and enhances its reputation (Anesukanjanakul et al. , 2. The importance of employee performance has increased and taken root over the last few years, as it has become the fastest and first important variable in any organization. It has taken the highest priority in all aspects of work and in administrative contexts (Gridwichai et al. , 2. Human Resources (HR) is the most important component in a company or organization to run the business it does. Organizations must have goals to be achieved by members of the organization (Niati et al. , 2. The development of human resources is a process of changing the human resources of an organization, from one situation to another, which is better for preparing for future responsibilities in achieving organizational goals (Widiastuti et al, 2. Leaders have a role in improving the work ethic of employees, instilling principles in employees so that they are motivated to improve a high work ethic, including: instilling the principles of work discipline, making the most of time, coming to the office early, respecting the contributions of colleagues, being positive towards negative comments and instill timely principles (Puti Tahira Amalia et al. , 2022: 104 -. Organizational culture is an important contributor to the success or failure of a company. With respect to the effectiveness of organizational performance, culture can be a positive or negative force. High performance is the result of conceptual cultural consistency, the success of every organization in an effort to achieve its goals including government organizations is largely determined by the optimal support of each member or employee of the organization (Zahriyahet. Work motivation is influenced by personality traits, needs, and even work accordingly, while producing various outcomes and attitudes, such as satisfaction, organizational behavior (OCB), engagement (Kanfer, 2009. Kanfer et al. , 2. (Tziner et al. , 2. Or Shkoler and Takuma Kimura, . based on the results of research conducted that if employee motivation decreases, it can be seen if the workload provided exceeds the employee's capabilities, employee status, inadequate rewards or not in accordance with the workload given. An organization or workplace usually consists of several types of employees, although not all of them exhibit the same attitude and behavior at work. For example, workers report work discomfort due to lower welfare than permanent employees (Dawson et al. , 2. Abd Muis. Andi Samsir. The Effect of Transformational Leadership and Organizational Culture A. METHOD This research approach is to use a quantitative approach. This type of research is survey in nature, namely analyzing facts and data that support the information needed to support research discussions, in solving and answering the main problems raised by using an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach Creswell . In cross-sectional research, researchers only observe phenomena at a certain point in time (Hemed 2. , this approach is used to see the relationship between one variable and another. This research was conducted at PTPN XIV Bone Sugar Factory located in Bone district, for approximately one to two months. The population in this study were all permanent employees in each division at PTPN XIV Bone Sugar Factory, totaling 142 people, namely the plant division/division, administrative and financial division/division and manufacturing and processing section/division. Priyatno . , defines the population as the whole object under study and consists of a number of individuals, both limited and unlimited. The characteristics of the respondents that will be discussed are based on gender, age/age, education level, marital status, position, permanent employees, years of service. The presentation of data on the characteristics of the respondents aims to identify the specific characteristics of the respondents so that it makes it easier for the researcher to carry out the This study aims to see how the influence of leadership style and competence on performance through organizational commitment. This study emphasizes quantitative analysis. Quantitative approach to data analysis consists of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistical analysis is used to describe the research variables. Inferential statistical analysis is used to explain the causal relationship between variables. The inferential statistical method used in the analysis of the research data is a structural model (Structural Equation Model SEM) based on variance or Partial Least Square (PLS) which is operated through the SmartPLS version 4 software.

If this goes on continuously (Continuou. , there will be a decrease in employee performance. Then it can be interpreted that to improve employee performance, strategic, systematic and concrete efforts are needed in an institution so that it can create and give birth and produce satisfaction at work, increase internal factors . ork motivatio. , and external factors . rganizational cultur. so that employee performance will be better.
