Foundation Leadership, Committee Oversight, Recruitment System, Job Satisfaction, Employee PerformanceAbstract
This study aims to examine the effects of foundation leadership style, committee oversight, and the recruitment system on employee job satisfaction and performance, as well as the relationship between job satisfaction and employee performance. A quantitative approach was employed using a census of 60 employees at SDS Yayasan Pendidikan Persada Indah, Tualang District, Siak Regency. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that foundation leadership style was not significantly related to job satisfaction (p = 0.494) or employee performance (p = 0.968). In contrast, committee oversight was significantly related to job satisfaction (p < 0.001) and employee performance (p < 0.001). The recruitment system was also significantly related to job satisfaction and employee performance (p < 0.001). Furthermore, job satisfaction was significantly related to employee performance (p < 0.001). The model explained 72.8% of the variance in job satisfaction and 66.7% of the variance in employee performance based on adjusted R². These findings indicate that committee oversight and recruitment practices have a more consistent role in employee outcomes than foundation leadership style within the studied private school. Strengthening governance and recruitment practices may therefore support employee job satisfaction and performance.
