Abstract

The research examines the effects of job training and work discipline on employee productivity and tests work motivation as a moderating variable in rattan manufacturing companies. A quantitative explanatory design was applied to 153 employees selected through purposive sampling. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that job training, work discipline, and work motivation have positive and significant effects on employee productivity. Work motivation also strengthens the effects of job training and work discipline on productivity. These results suggest that training programs will produce stronger outcomes when employees receive clear direction, fair rules, and motivation that matches production demands. The findings also imply that discipline should not rely only on sanctions, since employees respond better when rules support performance, safety, and work targets. For rattan manufacturing firms, productivity improvement requires coordinated action across skill development, attendance control, task supervision, and motivation systems. Managers should design training schedules based on job needs, apply discipline consistently, and build motivation through recognition, feedback, and attainable performance targets in daily production activities.
