Literature Review of Variables Affecting Employee Performance in Automotive Companies

Abstract

Employee performance refers to the measurable outcomes of an employee's work, both quantitatively and qualitatively, in fulfilling tasks assigned by the organization. In the highly competitive automotive industry in Indonesia, where significant potential coexists with intense rivalry, companies expect their employees to deliver peak performance. Numerous studies have analyzed the influence of various independent variables on employee performance in automotive companies, aiming to identify the factors with the most substantial impact. This study utilizes a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of journals meeting specific criteria to explore the relationships between these variables and employee performance. The findings reveal three key independent variables—Performance Appraisal, Organizational Culture, and Performance Environment—that significantly influence employee performance. These results offer practical implications, serving as a guide for policymakers and organizational leaders in the automotive industry to develop strategies that enhance employee performance. By focusing on these variables, companies can optimize their workforce effectiveness, maintain competitiveness, and adapt to evolving industry demands.
